#UHC2030 is still possible. Countries need to prioritize and #InvestinHealth with a focus on #PHC. Strong PHC close to communities will help achieve #SDG3 and all our mortality reduction goals, make health systems pandemic proof and allow early and rapid control of outbreaks

Congratulations 🇮🇳 Vaishali, outright leader from Round 7 Grand Swiss tournament. As the winner of 1st prize 25k still a far cry from the 80K 1st to Men. Chess prize money 4 men & women should reach parity and FIDE will do well to reform the gender disparities. @vishy64theking
Vaishali draws her last-round game against Batkhuyag Munguntuul and, with this half point, reaches 8.5 and secures tournament victory! 🏆 Congratulations! 👏👏 #FIDEGrandSwiss
