What is #HealthEquity?
"We have to come back to the basic principle of human 𝗱𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 - not to be:
-hungry, unwell & without access to care
-afraid of the government that's supposed to serve you
-to have basic human rights
- 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴"-@DrMikeRyan

Stark differences exist between countries in terms of #HealthEquity. On #WorldHealthDay and every day, let's ensure that #COVID19 vaccines, tests & treatments are available to all, everywhere.

Around the 🌐:
🔸>50% lack access to essential health services
🔸>800 million spend over 10% of their household income on health care
🔸100 million people are pushed into poverty each year due to out-of-pocket spending on health

We need #HealthEquity now!

#COVID19 has shown that many of the root causes of health inequities know no borders, and are unfair.

On #WorldHealthDay and every day, let's support
#HealthForAll: nobody is safe till everyone is safe!
