A call for solidarity and international cooperation
Fundación Espriu explained the actions by ASISA and Assistència Sanitària in a seminar for the WHO.
Last May, the assembly of the World Health Organisation (WHO) was held virtually, in a reduced format. It was also atypical because it exclusively centred on the pandemic caused by Covid-19. The Member States agreed on a resolution calling for solidarity, unity and international cooperation to contain and mitigate the effects of the healthcare emergency.
Amongst the debates prior to the assembly, an online seminar was held, organised by the Alliance for the Promotion of Health, in which the director of Fundación Espriu, Dr. Carlos Zarco, had the chance to show the actions developed by Asisa and Assistència Sanitària to cope with the pandemic, both on a healthcare level in hospitals and health centres and on an economic and social level to guarantee the service given by the entities and to alleviate the effects of the lockdown amongst their employees, policyholders and cooperative members, as far as possible.
