🇺🇳🇺🇿 @UNICEF_UZB Representative @CastilloRe_M extends her sincere appreciation, on behalf of the entire UNICEF team, to all doctors and healthcare workers for their dedication, professionalism and tireless commitment to caring for others.

🇺🇳🇺🇿 Welcoming the participants of the #WorldSummit, @UNICEF Regional Director for Europe, Central Asia, Middle East and North Africa, @E_Beigbeder, underlined that conflicts, climate shocks and economic uncertainty are placing growing pressure on children and families across the world. However, childhood cannot be rescheduled. “A child cannot delay the years in which her brain develops, the education he needs today, or the protection she needs tonight. Investing in children builds the foundations of future prosperity”, he said.
