HEALTH & MEDICARE
     

Universal health is not just an official coverage for health for all. Has anyone really benefited? This last Sunday marked the 71st anniversary of the WHO. The theme was "Universal health: Everyone, Everywhere.”

“Today, half the world’s population cannot access essential health services. Millions of women give birth without help from a skilled attendant; millions of children miss out on vaccinations against killer diseases, and millions suffer and die because they can’t get treatment for HIV, TB, and malaria. In 2019, this is simply unacceptable,” the WHO said.

      Unclean health centres are breeding grounds for diseases, eventually even superbugs, not healing centres, according to a WHO study. One quarter of the world’s health centres lack clean water, it found.

The World Health Organization (WHO) and UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) said more than 1 million deaths a year were associated with unclean births.
