It is always important to understand the current situation and the needs on the ground to identify what works, what doesn’t, and where support is needed most.

With this in mind, KOFIH and a team of researchers from Yonsei University in the Republic of Korea spent time in the Volta and Oti Regions last week, engaging healthcare professionals, community members, and visiting health facilities to gain firsthand insights into the realities of emergency service delivery.

The knowledge and perspectives gathered during the visit will serve as the foundation for our Emergency Medical Service-Centred Health System Strengthening Project, ensuring that every intervention is informed by evidence, shaped by local realities, and designed to strengthen emergency care where it is needed most.

Twenty years after the passing of Dr LEE Jong-wook, his legacy continues to improve lives in communities where access to healthcare matters most.

In Abutia Kpota, in the Volta Region, the Dr LEE Jong-wook Memorial Health Centre welcomes mothers seeking maternal care, patients in need of quality healthcare, and health workers dedicated to saving lives every single day.

Guided by the values of the man who spent 23 years at the World Health Organization leading global efforts against polio, tuberculosis, and HIV/AIDS, KOFIH continues to support governments in improving access to healthcare.

Today, we remember his life, his service, and the enduring impact of his vision.

The first Korean Director-General of the World Health Organization, Dr LEE Jong-wook, devoted his life to fighting polio, tuberculosis, and AIDS, and to ensuring that health is a right for all people, everywhere.

Ahead of the side event at the 79th World Health Assembly today to honour his legacy, it is a great honour to have the South Korean President Lee Jae-myung pay tribute to Dr LEE Jong-wook, pledging that Korea will continue to strengthen global health.
