The COVID–19 pandemic has exposed long-standing data governance issues such as intellectual property rights, data sharing, reuse and storage.

The COVID-19 pandemic has seen a flood of misinformation and disinformation exacerbating a problem that had already affected the public sphere. From fake cures to anti-vaccine conspiracy theories, falsehoods and lies have sown confusion, discord, and division, sometimes with deadly consequences.

WHO is hosting a webinar to launch its framework for countries to achieve an integrated continuum of long-term care.

This meeting gathers noncommunicable disease (NCD) experts to review, select and prioritize facility-based indicators for asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), diabetes, hypertension and cancers such as breast cancer, cervical cancer and childhood cancer. 

WHO and Health Education England (HEE) are working in collaboration internationally, to develop the next generation of Human Resources for Health (HRH) system leaders. The desire is to create a lasting impact in strengthening health systems in partner countries.

The COVID-19 pandemic and its aftermath has underlined the need to ensure sufficient qualified health and care professionals and support them when they are in the workforce.

Harnessing the contribution of support staff, and the wider population, is crucial in both determining the success of service transformations and shaping health outcomes.

There remains an urgent need to accelerate COVID-19 vaccine uptake in low-income countries. Only 50 countries have met the WHO target of 70% vaccination coverage for COVID-19, the majority of which are high income countries.

This live show is part of several online events and activities that the WHO has convened to collect and analyze stories of the impact of the COVID-19 infodemic.
