"In #Canada, we will continue to drive evidence-based action towards #healthequity in support of COVID-19 recovery and beyond, with a focus on safe & healthy environments, equitable & resilient #healthsystems, and multi-sectoral approaches for equitable & supportive societies."

[Lakshmi Menon @lmenon01]

Participated in #globalhealth roundtable discussions with the Canadian Youth Committee this summer. It was great to see @WHAcanadianyou1 incorporate this input into her statement at #PASC @pahowho.
@brie_osullivan, congratulations! ☺️

"I've heard from youth across #Canada on the necessity of an equity-centred integrative approach to the SDGs, which seeks to address social, economic, and environmental determinants of health through meaningful community-level participatory action."

Clean water and sanitation is the 6th goal of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. The pandemic has highlighted gaps in water infrastructure across the world.
I am excited to be part of this cohort to learn more about how I can contribute and fill these gaps.
