💰 New WHO Guidance: Responding to the Global Health Financing Emergency

Global health systems are under pressure. With external health aid projected to fall by up to 40% in 2025, essential services like maternal care, vaccination, and disease surveillance are being disrupted across more than 100 low- and middle-income countries.

Resilient systems require both country leadership and global solidarity.
