On this World Health Day, let us remember to strive for equitable access to healthcare for all our people!
Let us stand as a united South Africa and fight for each and everyone to have access to the healthcare that they deserve.

On #WorldHealthDay, let's build a fairer, healthier 🌎🌍🌏

#COVID19 highlighted how some 👱🙎🏽‍♀️ live healthier lives & have better access to health services than others, due to their living conditions.

It's time for #HealthEquity to reach #HealthForAll!
