We agree with @SmithaSadasiva5.

Wealthy countries like the UK must pay for the damage they've caused. Now.

Global health requires global cooperation. Leaving the WHO undermines progress on health equity and the fight against pandemics, climate crises, and more. We echo @AFGHnetwork's statement and hope the UK government continue to support the vision for global equity! #GlobalHealth

As Dr @jktibenderana says, funding is critical in overcoming the twin climate and health crises.

Yet year after year, the UK fails to meet its finance commitments, plunging families on the frontlines deeper into suffering.

Investment in health should not depend on which political party is in power. Health concerns all of us.

This #UHCDay, we urge all governments to make #UniversalHealthCoverage and financial protection a national priority.

The cost of accessing healthcare forces people to make impossible choices.

Choices that no one should have to make.

This #UHCDay, let's remind governments: financial protection for health is on you!

We can't talk about #UHC without talking about climate change.

Climate-induced floods devastated Hawa's home, causing the toilet to overflow with faeces.

Her family now faces myriad health risks, from fungus to malaria, purely due to a crisis they did not create.

Enough is enough.
