Strong primary health care can provide people with the quality care they need, right in their communities, in crisis and calm. The world must invest in PHC as the foundation of #HealthForAll and recovery from COVID-19. #PHCforUHC

[Mu'az Muhammad @Muaz4change]

COVID-19 has interrupted essential services for immunizations, infectious & chronic diseases, maternal health and more, putting millions at risk. Better investments in resilient primary health care will ensure a crisis doesn’t derail progress ever again. #HealthForAll #PHCforUHC
