The Association of Health Service Managers and Administrators of Togo (AGASSTO) held its elective and statutory general meeting in Lomé on Friday 22 November 2024. The theme of the meeting was ‘Towards universal health coverage: the role of service managers and hospital administrators in improving access to care. The event provided an opportunity to assess the progress made in the management and administration of health services, while identifying the challenges ahead, particularly in the management of resources, funding and equitable access to care for vulnerable populations. AGASSTO's aim is to strengthen its commitment to universal health coverage in Togo.

For AGASSTO vice-president Pallo Monguilouwé, guaranteeing every citizen equitable and rapid access to quality healthcare is an essential mission. He stressed the importance of concrete, coordinated action, saying: «It's not about theories, it's about concrete action. A craftsman is only as good as his work». Managers and administrators are strategic pillars for efficient governance, sound management of resources, and the establishment of inclusive care systems. Through this framework, AGASSTO is committed to transforming health reforms into tangible realities, contributing to a robust and resilient health system.
