Spotlight: Health is life
Every child’s right to survive, grow and thrive
Every year, too many children in Europe and Central Asia are denied their right to essential healthcare, nutrition and development support.
Despite huge progress in reducing child mortality and expanding health coverage, too many children still do not have access to the quality, timely and adequate health services they need to thrive.
#HealthIsLife is a call to action for stronger community health care and support for families, no matter where they live, or where they come from.
