A rapid growth in our understanding of the mechanisms behind respiratory infection transmission should drive a paradigm shift in how we view & address the transmission of respiratory infections to protect against unnecessary suffering & economic losses: science.org/doi/full/10.11…

The pandemic set back progress on the #SDGs, but #Agenda2030 shouldn't be scaled back. How can we recover while creating a sustainable future? 🌳1 way is by financing transformations for a green, digital & fair future. 📝Read our 6 priorities here: bit.ly/3r9mEcQ

For health systems to work, they must work for everyone– no matter who they are, where they live, or how much money they have. Equitable health coverage puts women, children, adolescents, & the most vulnerable first because they face the most significant barriers to care. #UHCDay

Investing in #HealthForAll is the backbone of a prosperous society. Increasing public financing for health and reducing out-of-pocket health costs saves lives, builds resilience against pandemic threats, and advances the Sustainable Development Goals beyond health. #UHCDay
