IN UN75 DIALOGUES, PARTICIPANTS ACROSS THE WORLD DISCUSSED THE NEED FOR STRONG GLOBAL HEALTH SYSTEMS, BROADER ACCESS TO BASIC SERVICES, AND MORE EQUITABLE ACCESS TO EDUCATION
- Invest in and build a strong global health system, prioritizing citizen health and well being, working towards universal access to healthcare, and investing more in healthcare technology and equipment.
- Boost access to basic services more broadly (healthcare, drinking water and education) as central to pandemic response efforts.
- Ensure equitable access to education, including through education reform. Amid the pandemic, ensure a more equitable shift to digital and online education, solutions for continuing international education, and sustainable financing of schools.
The virus has taken away jobs, interactions, education and peace. Fear is everywhere, and people are not responding well to it. Students who have worked so hard to get an education might not get a job, people who don’t have access to technology can’t move forward in a society that now depends heavily on it, workers who are supporting their families have lost their jobs and it doesn’t seem like life will be back to normal anytime soon, so people are stressed, anxious and depressed because they fear the future.
