@DrTedros "The number of weekly reported deaths may have dropped by more than 80% since February, but even so, last week one person died with #COVID19 every 44 seconds. Most of those deaths are avoidable"-@DrTedros

"Much of the work that you do as Ministries of Health is dealing with the consequences of poor diets, polluted environments, unsafe roads and workplaces, inadequate health literacy, and the aggressive marketing of products that harm health"-@DrTedros at the @WHOSEARO #RC75 Image
@DrTedros @WHOSEARO "That’s why we are calling on all Member States to make an urgent paradigm shift, towards promoting health and well-being and preventing disease by addressing its root causes, and creating the conditions for health to thrive"-@DrTedros #RC75
"Ultimately, our work is not about roadmaps, action plans, strategies & agenda items, as important as those things are. Our work is about people – & particularly the people who are poorest; the people who are most marginalised; the people who are furthest behind"-@DrTedros #RC75 Image
