[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

A child or youth died every 4.4 seconds in 2021. This is unacceptable. Children everywhere must have access to quality primary health care services that meet their needs and those of their families, so that no matter where they are born, they have the best start in life.

[Margaret E. Kruk @mkruk]

1 in 5 people use hospitals for basic primary care in #LMICs. While quality of care is higher, this wastes resources and is not great for users who pay more and get weak care continuity. Primary care facilities need to step up their game! https://t.co/ykNinYL1G5
