"The existential threat of climate change demands that we stand in solidarity on advancing our health agenda.
My country knows all too well about the impact of climate change. But our resolve is to continue to #BuildBackBetter."
– President of Dominica🇩🇲 Charles Savarin #CSP30 https://t.co/yozv5s98ZR
"We have never been in a better position to end the #COVID19 pandemic… But we’re not at the end yet.
Vaccination gaps 🩹, low rates of testing and sequencing, and lack of access to antivirals in some countries put the entire region at risk."
"We have come together as a region to combat the scourge of #COVID19, & we are now on a path to recovery.
Our path will only be possible if we rebuild & strengthen our health systems, invest in necessary resources, & support our health workers." @SecBecerra of @HHSGov 🇺🇸 #CSP30 https://t.co/89gb3X66B0
"The pandemic represents a unique opportunity to strengthen our Pan-Americanism and rethink more equitable, inclusive, sustainable societies, and supportive health systems that guarantee equitable and quality access." – @Alferdez #CSP30 @CasaRosada https://t.co/PRX4B6LyCU
🌎 Let us hold hands across the Americas united in a common purpose and unflinching resolve that says we are stronger together.
And it’s with that same solidarity that we’ll fulfill our promise of #HealthForAll.
🌎 Disease knows no borders. That’s why we need stronger epidemic surveillance – and a commitment to sharing this data 📊 – so we can all stay on top of emerging risks.
Because it’s not a matter of if a new outbreak 🦠 will emerge, it’s a matter of when. #CSP30 @DirOPSPAHO
🌎 We must address glaring gaps in vaccine 🩹 access.
We have polio circulating in New York and active measles outbreaks in parts of Brazil, diseases 🦠 that we had either already eliminated or were once on the verge of surpassing. @DirOPSPAHO
🌎 As we know all too well, good health 🩺 is not guaranteed.
When we take health for granted, investment shrinks, progress falters, and people pay the price. #CSP30
🌎 Our region has eliminated measles, rubella, and neonatal tetanus.
1️⃣0️⃣ Caribbean islands have ended mother-to-child transmission of HIV and syphilis.
Chagas disease has been eliminated in four countries throughout our region and malaria in four others.
