The best way to ensure everyone in the next generation benefits from lifesaving vaccines is by investing in #UHC delivered through #PrimaryHealthCare. This ensures that essential health services — including basic immunization — reach people when and where they need them, at every stage of life.

Behind every vaccine stands an entire system dedicated to making it possible, including the health workers who administer the shots, manage supply, support families & build trust. That's why this #WorldImmunizationWeek we’re calling on leaders to invest in #UHC and care for those who care for us.

Over the past 50 years, vaccines have saved more than 150 million lives. That’s why this #WorldImmunizationWeek we’re urging leaders to invest in #UHC, prioritizing on #PrimaryHealthCare, so that everyone, everywhere, can access essential services — including vaccines — when & where they need them.

This #WorldImmunizationWeek we’re calling on leaders to fulfill the right to health — including the right to basic immunization — through #UHC based on #PrimaryHealthCare. This is the key to promoting longer, healthier lives. #VaccinesWork. And #UHC ensures that they reach everyone, everywhere.

#HealthWorkersSaveLives. They deserve to be safe, protected, fairly supported and paid. Need we say more? #InvestInHealth workers today. #WHWW

Women hold 67% of health worker positions & over 80% of nursing & midwifery roles, yet occupy only 25% of leadership positions in the sector. Women also perform 76% of unpaid care work & are paid 24% less than men. Leaders, promote gender equality in the health workforce today! #WHWW

Investments in health workers pay off! 1/2 of the world’s economic growth from 2013-2023 was the result of improved health. And research shows that addressing the shortage in health workers by 2030 could boost the global economy by $1.1 trillion. So what are we waiting for? #WHWW

Poor working conditions put significant strain on health workers, affecting their physical & mental well-being. This contributes to high turnover rates & negatively impacts the care quality. Leaders must improve working conditions by ensuring fair compensation & adequate staffing & resources. #WHWW

Health workers are the cornerstone of equitable & resilient health systems. When we invest in them we invest in healthier communities & stronger economies. For #WHWW, leaders must ✅ Ensure decent work & safe work environments ✅ Address the global shortage ✅ Promote gender equality in the workforce
