NAIROBI, May 19 (Xinhua) -- Provision of quality and affordable healthcare services to women, children and adolescents in Africa's conflict hotspots will be a priority to avert a humanitarian crisis, senior officials said at a virtual forum Thursday.

Margaret Agama-Anyetei, the acting director for Health, Humanitarian Affairs and Social Development at the African Union (AU), said the bloc and its multilateral partners intend to scale up maternal, infant and adolescent health services in fragile settings as part of efforts to build the resilience of communities.
