#WHA79 Day 3 recap!
Yesterday was another exciting day of packed rooms and stimulating discussions. Topics ranged from building resilient health systems to translating commitments into action, engaging civil society in global health governance, and the links between #UHC and global health architecture reform, to mention a few.
Congratulations to our partners for their successful events and unfailing commitment to #HealthForAll!
The civil society networking space is now closed, but we’re still in Geneva for the remainder of the #WHA. We’re particularly looking forward to this Friday’s discussion on the process for global health architecture reform. Stay tuned for updates!

"Every time we fail to protect the health of one person, everyone's health is at risk."
This #WHA79, we're reminding decision-makers that health is a fundamental human right that is fulfilled through #UniversalHealthCoverage.

So lovely to meet with #UHCDay champions at the civil society networking space this morning to discuss their ongoing advocacy efforts and current priorities, including:
✔️ The importance of #SocialParticipation to ensure that people can access relevant and quality services when and where they need them,
✔️ The urgent need to invest in the health and care workers who care for us, and
✔️ The need to feature #DigitalHealth as an enabler for #UHC progress
We look forward to continuing to work with these brilliant people and organizations going above and beyond to make #HealthForAll a reality for everyone, everywhere!
📍 As #WHA79 opens in Geneva, conversations on universal health coverage, social participation, financial protection, health emergencies, and global health architecture reform feel more urgent than ever.
Throughout the week, we will be convening events, sharing advocacy messages, and amplifying civil society perspectives across these discussions.

Health data has enormous potential: better diagnoses, smarter research, more equitable care. But without robust governance, the same data can concentrate power, erode privacy, and deepen the very inequalities digital health promises to fix.
On the sidelines of #WHA79, we’re launching an advocacy tool that promotes data governance frameworks that protect the collection and use of health data.

Después de que el transporte puso a temblar al @MunicipioQuito, realmente alguien cree que algo ha cambiado? Los problemas de siempre simplemente día a día se vuelven más complejos. Se necesita un trabajo profundo para construir una nueva quiteñidad, solo así existirá un cambio.
💙❤️ #3AñosDeCambio | Tres años después, Quito cambia y ya no es la misma.
Hoy hay un antes y un después en la ciudad más linda del mundo.
Más obras, más servicios, más movilidad, más orden, más espacios recuperados y oportunidades para la gente. Pero también algo más importante: devolverle dignidad, esperanza y sentido humano a una ciudad que decidió no rendirse.
De las 3001 obras para Quito, cada calle intervenida, cada parque recuperado, cada servicio fortalecido y cada abrazo compartido con la ciudadanía, demuestra que cuando se trabaja con amor por la ciudad, el cambio se siente.
Porque Quito no se detiene.
Y hay mucho más por venir.
#QuitoRenace

Over the past 50 years, vaccines have saved more than 150 million lives. That’s 6 lives saved every minute, every day.
Thanks to vaccines, more children now live to see their first birthday — and go to school, work, raise families, and grow old — than at any other point in history.
That’s why this #WorldImmunizationWeek we’re urging governments to invest in #UniversalHealthCoverage, prioritizing #PrimaryHealthCare, so that everyone, everywhere, can access essential services — including vaccines — when and where they need them.
#VaccinesWork. And #UHC ensures that they reach everyone, everywhere.
On #TransDayOfVisibility, join us in highlighting the importance of advancing inclusive, rights-based health systems 🌎
Argentina’s Gender Identity Law shows how equity in law can transform lives-ensuring recognition & access to health. The documentary “Nothing But Equality” produced by Fundación Huésped, tells the story behind this achievement - a collective journey built on CSO-led advocacy.
