We know that this #COVID19 pandemic brings serious social-economic effects because to face up to its exponential growth, we had to take draconian measures.

If we are sufficiently disciplined, work together sufficiently joined, we will be able to face this with success.
That is what we tried to do in #Colombia. We have taken difficult, drastic decisions. This has helped us.

I believe that WHO is called on to ensure that all of us make efforts so we don’t think as individuals but as a major collective: to develop a vaccine, find treatments, work aligned with science.

President @IvanDuque at #WHA73

Protecting health is a fundamental right for all & working together with all govts will make the difference.
I call on WHO & all Member States to face this #COVID19 with a better sense of intl cooperation
