World Health Day would be celebrated on April 7th, to commemorate the date in

5. Guiding Principle

6. This is not only unfair: it is preventable.
 Globally Leaders to ensure that equity in health is the centerpiece of our COVID-
19 recovery. This will result in a region where everyone has living and working
conditions that are conducive to good health, where health information systems
are configured to identify populations in situations of vulnerability, where civil
society and individuals are partners in finding solutions where inequalities occur,
and where everyone has access to health and health care without experiencing
discrimination.
 At the same time we urge leaders to monitor health inequities and to ensure that
all people are able to access quality health services when and where they need
them.

7. Work Together - Call to all Leaders
 WHO intends to work hand in hand with all affected individuals as well as
communities so that it can address the root cause of inequality as well as
implement the right solutions.

8. Collect timely and reliable data
 Ensure both collection as well as use of timely and reliable health data. If it able to
achieve this, only then it would be possible for it to assess the inequities across the
population subgroups and take appropriate actions that have an impact.

9. Tackle inequities
 Adopting government approach to tackle both root causes of inequities and also
increase investment in primary health care.

10. Act beyond borders
 The above approach would protect, test and also treat the whole global population
only then we can witness the end of Covid-19.
