The world needs a #HealthyRecovery

G20 governments continue discussions on how to react to the economic fallout from COVID-19. Their decisions will shape public health for decades.

Health professionals, or associations representing health professionals can continue to speak out to demand a #HealthyRecovery. You can connect with your national government directly or via social media (target G20 Twitter handles can be found here), blog posts or opinion pieces, to reiterate the demand that public health be made central to recovery packages, and that the health community be given a voice in the discussions.

To help inform any advocacy, you can also refer to the WHO Manifesto for a Healthy Recovery from COVID-19, which reinforces the #HelathyRecovery letter, and details six critical prescriptions – including that countries should invest in the clean energy sources of the future, and stop subsidizing the polluting fuels of the past.

Thank you for continuing to support a #HealthyRecovery

The May 26, 2020 Healthy Recovery letter was supported and promoted by the Global Climate and Health Alliance, Every Breath Matters, and the World Health Organization in service of the global medical and health community.
