Bill > HRes298

This resolution expresses support for the World Health Organization's (WHO) designation of April 7, 2025, as "World Health Day" and highlights critical public health challenges in the United States. The resolution acknowledges several key issues, including declining life expectancy, increasing maternal and infant mortality, and significant healthcare disparities affecting marginalized communities, particularly children, seniors, and people of color. It emphasizes the importance of comprehensive healthcare that addresses both physical and mental health needs, recognizes the crucial role of healthcare workers, and calls for improved access to high-quality, affordable healthcare services. The resolution specifically supports the WHO's theme of "Healthy Beginnings, Hopeful Futures," which focuses on maternal and newborn health, and calls for recognizing the interconnected nature of health challenges. Additionally, it underscores the need for interagency coordination, the elimination of healthcare disparities, and a holistic approach to promoting and protecting individual and community health, while acknowledging that no single healthcare program can address the needs of all populations uniformly.
