#HappeningNow Challenges and Opportunities to Achieve Greater Health Equity in Healthy Systems with @katebuntingdc @NFBilimoria @jenkatesdc

@jenkatesdc "Equity is not about equality, it's about ensuring that everyone has the same ability to access the same things. Equity requires work to get there."

@NFBilimoria "I think we can actually use a lot of the interventions we've learned from COVID response to be usable towards other important health activities."

@jenkatesdc "there are plenty of examples with COVID that show the necessity of technological advances in health access"

@katebuntingdc "Health equity lies in really counting everyone."

@NFBilimoria "Given everything we've all experienced, what is our way to move forward?"

Audience members ask @jenkatesdc and @NFBilimoria about the pandemic's effect on mental health, innovative public health services, private sector engagement, moral responsibilities, and more.
