Global health requires global cooperation. Leaving the WHO undermines progress on health equity and the fight against pandemics, climate crises, and more. We echo @AFGHnetwork's statement and hope the UK government continue to support the vision for global equity! #GlobalHealth

Investment in health should not depend on which political party is in power. Health concerns all of us.
This #UHCDay, we urge all governments to make #UniversalHealthCoverage and financial protection a national priority.

Choices that no one should have to make.
This #UHCDay, let's remind governments: financial protection for health is on you!
