💬 "We usually have young people as just beneficiaries, but hardly do we see them as meaningful participants when it comes to taking key decisions."
🌍 At the World Health Summit Regional Meeting 2026, Candybell Kensah, UNFPA Youth Leaders Fellow, made the case for a fundamental shift in how young people are positioned in health governance.
🏥 Her message is clear: health is a human right, yet attention to it tends to surface only in moments of crisis. Meanwhile, young people have already been building healthier communities from the ground up, often without a seat at the table where the decisions that shape their futures are made.
🎤 For Kensah, this Regional Meeting was an opportunity to change that and recognize young people as full participants in health leadership.
➡️ How can we meaningfully include young people in health governance? Share in the comments.
