On his appointment, Cary James said, “I’m thrilled to be joining the UHC2030 steering committee and representing the important voices of civil society organisations. If we are to achieve the UHC goals of accessible, affordable healthcare to all by 2030, then civil society has an important role to play, both in terms of advocacy and implementation.  I look forward to working with the steering committee over the next four years to accelerate progress towards UHC2030.”
