Threads of Care: A ministerial side event on family caregiving
Hosted by the Government of Indonesia, in partnership with Noora Health and The Agency Fund at the 79th World Health Assembly.
Family caregivers deliver 80% of healthcare worldwide. Yet, they often remain invisible and unsupported by the systems around them.
