"There is need to implement this Global Strategy, and we will continue to advocate for evidence-informed reproductive, maternal, newborn, child and adolescent health programmes at all levels. Beyond health itself, investments are needed in other domains crucial for an adolescent to survive, thrive and transform his or her society," she said.
