According to WHO DG, the covid-19 pandemic has proven that health should not be compromised for anything.
He added that health and wealth go together in bringing sustainable development to a country.
The economies of nations around the world have been badly hit by the covid-19 pandemic.
“The #COVID19 pandemic has shown again and in the strongest way possible, that investing in health is not just the right thing to do; it’s the smart thing to do.

“There’s no trade off between investing in health & economy; health is an investment in our collective future,” he said.
He stressed that when governments and its people deploy comprehensive health strategy, they keep their nation secure from a pandemic like covid-19 , while minimizing its impact on lives and livelihoods
“I am looking forward to greeting and working with leaders from across the world to ensure that together we optimise the #COVID19 response and build back stronger health systems,” he said.
