In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, when health systems are overwhelmed with the immediate response, and in planning for a sustainable, quality health care delivery post-COVID-19, self-care interventions for health are and will play a major role in ensuring the right to health for all.   Join us in this first seminar by WHO and the World Bank, discussing the increasing role of self-care interventions to build sustainable health care during and post-COVID-19 pandemic.   Speakers include: Dr Muhammad Ali Pate, Global Director for Health, Nutrition and Population, World Bank Group and Director, Global Financing Facility for Women, Children and Adolescents Dr Ian Askew, Director, Department of Sexual and Reproductive Health and Research, WHO Dr Azra Fazal Pechuho, Minister of Health and Population Welfare, Sindh, Pakistan Rt.
