"We live in a globalised world. COVID-19 has made it evident that a problem in one corner of the world is a problem across the world. Therefore, we have no choice but to partner and ensure that the world is a better place. This is what the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are about, it is what universal health coverage (UHC) is about." This was one of the messages from Professor Francis Omaswa as he gave concluding remarks at the second COVID-19 partnerships conference on 19 March 2021. The virtual conference was hosted by THET UK in partnership with the African Centre for Global Health and Social Transformation (ACHEST) and Esther Alliance. It was held under the theme: "COVID-19 Partnerships in the International Year of Health and Care Workers: Protect. Invest. Together." This is in line with the World Health Organization year-long campaign to recognise health workers for their dedication and resilience in fighting the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants had the opportunity to reflect on what has been achieved by the health partnership community since the first conference in April 2020, and also to look into the future, recognising the immense pressure that is now falling on health workers in every country due to the pandemic. With the worrying increases in infections and the slow pace of vaccination campaigns in sub-Saharan Africa observed since the start of 2021, the conference discussed afresh how the Health Partnership community is pulling together, especially now, when solidarity is more important than ever.
