Dear Aparnaa,

The Joint Learning Network for Universal Health Coverage (JLN) will be hosting a 3-day Network-Wide Meeting focused on building strong health care systems to achieve universal health coverage (UHC) during the week of July 18 – 22, 2016
in Putrajaya, Malaysia. This meeting responds to strong country demand for practical cross-country learning focused on the financing, delivery, and measurement and performance of primary health care-oriented UHC. This cross-technical meeting will bring together
practitioners and policymakers from all 25 member countries of the JLN, alongside JLN partners, including the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, World Bank, USAID, and others. The workshop agenda is attached.

A Ministerial Policy Roundtable will be chaired by Honorable Minister of Health, Malaysia His Excellency, Datuk Seri Dr. Sathasivam Subramaniam, on Day 3 of the Network Wide Meeting - Friday, July 22 from 9:30 – 1:00pm. This event is intended
to bring together Ministers from the 9 JLN full member countries and 16 JLN associate member countries and is designed to gain insights from the Ministers of Health from the 25 JLN member countries participating in the collaborative learning model of the JLN.
As of today 4 Ministers and 2 Vice Ministers have confirmed their participation.

The JLN would like to extend an invitation to Dr. Berdzuli to participate in the half-day Ministerial event on Friday, July 22nd. The purpose of this email is to request your support in transmitting the attached invitation letter to the
office of Dr. Nino Berdzuli. The travel costs including hotel accommodation and meals for the Policy Roundtable will be covered by the World Bank.
