[Episode 6] PMNCH Touchpoint - Funding Futures: Protecting Health in Times of Financial Shock

In this episode of Touch Point, the PMNCH podcast, we explore one of the most pressing challenges facing global health today: how to protect women’s, children’s and adolescents’ health in an era of growing financial pressure. As countries grapple with rising debt burdens, shrinking fiscal space and declining development assistance, the conversation examines what it will take to safeguard essential health services and sustain progress toward universal health coverage. Featuring leading experts in health financing, the episode discusses domestic resource mobilization, health sovereignty, priority setting, primary health care, and the future of global solidarity in health financing. The discussion highlights a critical reality: financing decisions are not just budgetary choices, they are economic, political and moral choices that shape the health and well-being of current and future generations. Tune in to discover why investing in women’s, children’s and adolescents’ health remains one of the smartest and most equitable investments countries can make.
