Access to good health and well-being is a right for everyone. Huge progress in improving health outcomes has been made in recent years but many challenges and barriers still remain.
Education and health are mutually reinforcing, both need to be addressed together. Education improves our health and well-being while better health increases a child’s chance of being educated.
