WHA78 Individual Statement: Climate change and health (Agenda Item 18.3)

Global health is facing major budget cuts and a health workforce shortage, yet climate change is a growing global health emergency. We welcome the Global Action Plan on Climate Change and Health.

WHA78 Constituency Statement: Universal health coverage (Agenda Item 13.3)

UHC should not be the victim of the funding cuts currently aggravating health workforce shortages. As policy makers seek efficiencies in health financing, long-term investments in health professionals are a cost-effective way to maintain progress towards UHC.

WHA78 Constituency Statement: Health emergencies (Agenda Item 16.1)

While welcoming the WHA's adoption of the pandemic treaty, WHPA called for better protection for health professionals during emergencies, including from violence of all types, and prioritization of these needs as funding is cut and workforce shortages persist.
