In a world facing multiple challenges, preparedness for pandemics must remain a priority. Today, global defence spending in a single week exceeds what we invest in protecting the world’s most vulnerable for an entire year.
Recent aid cuts have disrupted essential health services, but they also present an opportunity to reshape global health governance. Countries are driving this reform, and @WHO is committed to supporting them including through our presence in more than 150 countries.
Thank you Axel Pries, @WorldHealthSmt President , CEO Carsten Schicker and Professor @IlonaKickbusch for your partnership and for organizing this high level event.
