Today, on Universal Health Coverage Day, we reaffirm our commitment to ensuring health for all. Yet, millions worldwide face barriers to accessing the care they need. 💡 Kidney Health Must Be Part of the Solution: ➡️ Over 850 million people live with kidney disease worldwide. ➡️ Nearly 4 million depend on dialysis (80%) or transplants (20%) to survive. ➡️ 2 million lives are lost annually because dialysis is unaffordable or unavailable. ➡️ Over 95% of people with kidney disease face additional health challenges, yet critical workforce shortages persist in kidney care globally. Without action, millions will continue to suffer catastrophic healthcare costs, driving them further into poverty. 🚨 Our Call to Action: We urge governments and global health leaders to prioritize kidney care as part of universal health coverage. It’s time to invest in equitable, accessible, and sustainable health systems to protect the most vulnerable. 📢 Join the Movement: Sign our petition to advocate for kidney care as essential to universal health coverage: https://ow.ly/OcvH50TLOrS+ Together, we can create a future where no one is left behind. 🌍✨ #UHCDay #UHC #HealthForAll #KidneyHealthMatters #UniversalHealthCoverage

High-profile diseases often overshadow critical threats like #AntimicrobialResistance (AMR), which is responsible for approximately 5 million deaths each year. Effectively combating #AMR requires a collective effort. We must strengthen primary #HealthcareSystems, enforce robust regulatory policies, ensure the integrity of supply chains, and educate communities on early outbreak detection and response. Addressing this complex challenge requires collaboration among doctors, pharmaceutical companies, and patients to promote responsible antibiotic use.
