PM Shehbaz Calls for Health Equity at World Economic Forum | Latest News

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif recently addressed a critical session at the World Economic Forum, emphasizing the urgent need to bridge the health disparities between the Global North and South. Highlighting the vulnerabilities exposed by the Covid-19 pandemic, Sharif pointed out the uneven distribution of health facilities and vaccines, which has put developing nations at a severe disadvantage. He also connected these health issues with the broader impacts of climate change, citing the heavy toll of 2022’s floods on Pakistan’s infrastructure and economy. Sharif stressed that for countries like Pakistan, the financial burden of such disasters diverts essential resources from health care, exacerbating the plight of those needing treatment for diseases like cancer, which remains unaffordable for many. His call to the global community was clear: more support and a balanced approach are crucial to addressing these systemic health inequalities.
