Live from Belgrade, 🇷🇸: Adoption of the @IPUParliament’s resolution on #HealthForAll with @DrTedros pscp.tv/w/cHh_9jI2MTAy…

"At #UNGA, the 🌍 has unified around a common vision of a world in all people can access the health services they need, without suffering 💰 hardship. You have a crucial role to play in translating that political commitment into real results in the lives of people"-@DrTedros

"Our latest data shows we have a lot of work to do. On current trends, up to 5 billion people will lack access to essential health services by 2030 – unless we act now"-@DrTedros at #IPU141 🇷🇸

"Universal health coverage is not just a moral imperative, it’s a security imperative, and an economic imperative. The world spends 7.5 trillion U.S. dollars on health each year – almost 10 percent of global GDP"-@DrTedros at #IPU141 🇷🇸

"As parliamentarians, you are stewards of these investments. You have a responsibility to ensure your nations are getting value for money. The resolution you have adopted today is a strong tool for doing just that"-@DrTedros at #IPU141
