There can be no real growth without healthy populations. No sustainable development without tackling disease and malnutrition. No international security without assisting crisis-ridden countries. And no hope for the spread of freedom, democracy and human dignity unless we treat health as a basic human right.
You cannot tackle hunger, disease, and poverty unless you can also provide people with a healthy ecosystem in which their economies can grow.
Never have so many had such broad and advanced access to health care. But never have so many been denied access to health.
You cannot achieve environmental security and human development without addressing the basic issues of health and nutrition.
