En la Asamblea General de la #OMS trabajando con los países miembros para lograr la Cobertura Universal de Salud con equidad, inclusión y calidad, sin dejar a nadie atrás. @WHO #WHA72
La cobertura efectiva es acceso a la salud con integralidad, continuidad de la atención y coordinación de cuidados con equidad y calidad. #CUS #CuidarteSiempre #WHA72 @WHO #OMS
Cobertura Universal de Salud significa cobertura universal efectiva, para que todos los argentinos gocen de una atención de calidad, independientemente de donde vivan, de su condición socioeconómica o del tipo de cobertura sanitaria que posean.
Great advice from @HansRosling, relevant to all groups attending #WHA72. Important facts about @ResolveTSL work that you may not know:
1. HTN kills more people than any other cause – 10.5M a year, more than all infectious diseases.
2. Not a single low income country has limited artificial transfat but 2 billion better off people already protected
