The Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO) Tedros Adhanom has announced their affirmation of working with Kim Sledge, of the amazing band Sister Sledge, and international campaigner Natasha Mudhar, originator of the ‘World We Want Organization’.
WHO will together work with the ‘We Are Family’ campaign to promote global solidarity and cooperation notwithstanding COVID-19. As cases go up, the number of people needing beds in emergency clinics and intensive care units also increase.
That is the reason this joint effort is significant for the institution to help in the battle against COVID, since the infection has shown that it can flood back dangerously fast. Numerous people get serious cases of COVID-19, and oxygen levels in their bodies can drop perilously.
Here, they will require supplemental oxygen. Preventable deaths from COVID-19 happen each day from hypoxemia—a serious absence of oxygen in the blood. Over the world, WHO and their partners have so far transported huge number of oxygen concentrators, beat oximeters and patient screens to in excess of 100 countries.
By cooperating to increase the supply of oxygen sustainability, and other life saving supplies including personal protective equipment and dexamethasone, the world will traverse this pandemic.
That said, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom has praised Kim Sledge for her caring proposal to donate proceeds from the sale of her special edition cover of ‘We Are Family’ to the WHO Foundation. This is in support of the COVID-19 reaction and fortifying health services around the globe.
By and by, numerous leaders around the world, are as yet speaking with their populaces about targeted measures that are expected to hinder the spread of the infection and ensure health workers and health systems.
And that is an uplifting news since when emergency clinic limit is reached and surpassed, it is a difficult and dangerous situation for both patients and health workers. So it’s significant that all governments center around the basics that help to break the chains of transmission and save lives and jobs.
This implies active case finding, cluster investigations, isolating all cases, quarantining contacts, ensuring good clinical care, supporting and protecting health workers and protecting the vulnerable.
The world has been in this for the long stretch, however there is hope that if we settle on savvy decisions together – we can hold cases down, guarantee fundamental health services and kids can go back to class. We as a whole have a big role to play!
