Congratulations to Five New Full Members

JLN Network Manager

The Joint Learning Network for Universal Health Coverage (JLN) Network Manager congratulates Bahrain, Lao PDR, Lebanon, Morocco, and South Africa on achieving full membership in the network. With this achievement, these five countries further demonstrate their commitment not only to advancing universal health coverage (UHC) in their own country, but also to support and assist their peers in other countries.

These countries commit to strengthening their country core groups and engaging with national stakeholders to champion the JLN and drive UHC reforms. As full members, they also become eligible to serve as full member representatives on the JLN Steering Group if elected to a seat.
