What to read during a Holiday without Santa: A Pandemic Christmas Reading List
With Christmas just around the corner, I would like to take the opportunity to recommend some books to read for your self or to give away. Since this Christmas most likely will be like no other Christmas for most of us, this also means more time for reading. This has for obvious reasons been an unprecedented year (mildly put) where people now experience a second or third wave of the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. With global cases surpassing 70 million and global deaths approaching 1.6 million, this pandemic will be with us for some time, even if vaccination now have begun in some countries.
“Prepare, Prioritise, Promote”: The Elders’ three pillars for public health after COVID-19
11 December 2020
The Elders today launched a new report, “
Building Back Better for Universal Health”, setting out three key pillars to inform the leadership needed from governments and policymakers in response to the COVID-19 pandemic at a national and global level:
•
•
•
Promote healthier societies via holistic polices and social development
Launched ahead of Universal Health Coverage (UHC) Day on 12 December, the wide-ranging report sets out specific recommendations based on lessons learned thus far from the pandemic, and the wider progress made towards UHC as part of countries’ commitments under the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
The Elders have launched a new report calling on leaders to make the achievement of Universal Health Coverage a top priority in their government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
