At UN High Level Meeting on pandemic preparedness and response in NYC. Heads of state are speaking about what they have learned and need for support to low & middle income countries WHPCA Union for International #CancerControl IAHPC World Health Organization (WHO)

Every year, 57 million people around the world need palliative care. But only 14% of patients can access it. This exposes families to suffering, hardship and social isolation.
I commend #Uganda for taking action to increase access to oral liquid morphine free of charge.
