2021 is the International Year of Health & Care Workers. Long before #COVID19 , these frontline caregivers have led the charge for #HealthForAll . Making sure they have the education, training & resources they need is the best thank you the world can give them. #UHCDay #12DaysofUHC
Health is a human right, no matter your gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, age, ability or citizenship. #UniversalHealthCoverage means ensuring every community can get the #health services they need, without discrimination or financial hardship.
#HealthForAll #UHCDay
#GlobalSurgery is #GlobalHealth .
~30% of the global burden of disease is caused by conditions that can be treated by surgery or require the direct care of a surgeon. Every year, total surgically avertable deaths are ~6x greater than total deaths from HIV, malaria & TB combined.
Don't forget to register for next week's webinar on 'Surviving COVID', where we'll welcome Professor Grant McIntyre to discuss his COVID diagnosis, the 7 weeks he spent on life support, and his recovery: ow.ly/8hn050CCxwg
