The world is facing multiple serious challenges. The most serious pandemic in 100 years, coupled with climate and environmental crisis, economic instability, a severe military crisis in Europe, creates ripple effects throughout the globe. It is also happening in a world of increased geopolitical tensions, between east and west and north and south. This is impacting macroeconomic stability and putting severe constraints on many sectors and societies. Impacting livelihoods and businesses across all regions and countries, putting severe constraints on many sectors and societies related to all aspects of global health, across all regions and countries. Gains in population health are in danger of being lost and our efforts in global health, both on global collective, regional and national needs as well as external support for lower income countries, are constrained. Equitable distribution of resources and strategic priority is imperative nationally, regionally, and globally.
