Director-General's opening remarks
"We cannot build a safer world from the top down; we must build from the ground up. Preparing for, preventing, detecting and responding rapidly to epidemics doesn’t start in the world’s corridors of power. It starts in the streets of deprivation
and overcrowding where people live without enough food, access to health workers, clean water and electricity."... "The WHO 2020-2021 Mid-Term Results Report shows that globally, coverage of essential health services continues to expand,
but at least half the world’s population still lacks access to essential health services."
