@Winnie_Byanyima @JosephEStiglitz @FirstLadyNam3 @MichaelMarmot @nisia_trindade @javierpadillab Speaking on the importance of community-led responses, @richardlusimbo highlighted how inequalities act as pandemic multipliers.

@Winnie_Byanyima @JosephEStiglitz @FirstLadyNam3 .@MichaelMarmot shared that poorer populations were far more likely to get COVID due to the social gradient. Ending AIDS and future pandemics requires tackling global inequalities that drive disparities within countries. Health inequity anywhere is a risk everywhere.
