Nearly 1 million adolescents die every year from preventable causes. Mental health is the leading burden for 10–19 year olds. And yet they remain the most underfunded group in global health.
We convened #LivesInTheBalance at #WHA79 today to demand better. @PMNCH @HelenClarkNZ
The @PMNCH #LivesintheBalance event on the sidelines #WHA79, organised by PMNCH and 18 co-sponsors, reminded us that the global community cannot afford to look away. Two years on from the landmark @WHO resolution on reducing maternal and child mortality, progress has not only stalled, in some areas it has reversed.
Child mortality is rising for the first time this century, and every minute two women die from preventable causes related to childbirth.
Progress is possible, but women, children and adolescents must stay at the centre of health financing decisions, prioritised in health budgets, even as fiscal space tightens and external funding continues to fall. We urgently need more midwives. The world is short by one million, yet they can deliver up to 90% of essential sexual and reproductive health services.
"The prioritisation and financing decisions are all political decisions determining what is prioritised and ultimately whose lives we value." - @HelenClarkNZ

グローバリズムの恩恵を牽引してきたアメリカがポピュリズムを掲げた事で、タガが外れた権力者が力による正義を振りかざす世界に。
アメリカは憧れではなくなってしまった
