Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus shared a post on X:

“The WHO 2022-2023 Results Report is out.

The report shows advancement in:
1. Healthier populations: the current trajectory indicates the target of 1 billion more people enjoying better health and well-being will likely be met by 2025, driven primarily by improvements in air quality and access to water, sanitation and hygiene measures;

2. Universal Health Coverage: 30% of countries are moving ahead in coverage of essential health services and providing financial protection. This is largely due to increased HIV service coverage.

3. Emergencies protection: immunization coverage for high-priority pathogens has not yet returned to the pre-pandemic levels; the The Pandemic Fund has supported 37 countries to fund the initial response to acute events; WHO continues to work with countries to enhance genomic sequencing capabilities and strengthen laboratory and surveillance systems worldwide.

The report serves as a record of what we have achieved together, but also as a guide for our path towards our founding vision: the highest attainable standard of Health For All.”
