World Health +SocialGood

On 22-24 May, during the World Health Assembly, we joined forces once again with the United Nations Foundation to bring you live interviews with public health experts on some of the most important health topics facing us today. We took your questions on topics such as progress towards universal health coverage and how we are responding to outbreaks and emergencies. In our 70th anniversary year, we also took a look back at some of the most significant achievements in public health of the last 70 years.
