Moreover, the 36th Commonwealth Health Ministers Meeting, held in conjunction with the World Health Assembly meetings, is scheduled for May 24-25. This two-day convention will serve as a platform to discuss developmental strategies for the health sector and address challenges in providing healthcare provisions.
