👏World Health Day 2022: OUR PLANET, OUR HEALTH. 👏

The following is an excerpt from the World Health Organization website: While the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has shown us the healing power of science, it has also highlighted the inequities in our world. The pandemic has exposed weaknesses in all areas of society and highlighted the urgency of building sustainable "well-being-focused societies" that are committed to achieving equitable health for present and future generations without breaking ecological limits. The current economic structure results in an unequal distribution of income, wealth and power, and too many people still live in poverty and instability. A well-being economy targets human well-being, equity and ecological sustainability. These goals can be translated into long-term investments, well-being-focused budgets, social protection, and legal and fiscal strategies. Breaking these vicious circles of damage to the planet and human health requires support and incentives for legislative action, corporate reform and individuals to make healthy choices.
