The theme for this year’s weeklong event is; “Health for Peace, Peace for Health.” And it is billed to end on Saturday, May 28, 2022.

Mr Ghebreyesus started with the WHO’s target to see one billion people enjoying better health and wellbeing by 2023, saying the progress recorded is only about one-quarter of what is required to reach the relevant targets of the Sustainable Development Goals .

He said: “And since 2015, the number of people who have received treatment for hepatitis C has increased ninefold to 9.4 million, reversing the trend of increasing mortality for the first time. He added that in the past five years, 14 additional countries and territories eliminated at least one neglected tropical disease.

Speaking on the efforts towards strengthening global health systems, Mr Ghebreyesus said WHO saw two major commitments with the Astana Declaration on primary health care in 2018 and the political declaration on universal health coverage at the UN General Assembly in 2019.
