The theme of World TB Day 2022 - ‘Invest to End TB. Save Lives.’– conveys the urgent need to invest resources to ramp up the fight against TB and achieve the commitments to end TB made by global leaders. This is especially critical in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic that has put End TB progress at risk, and to ensure equitable access to prevention and care in line with WHO’s drive towards achieving Universal Health Coverage.

The COVID-19 pandemic has drawn attention to the deep disparities that persist between and within countries. People with TB are among the most marginalized and vulnerable, facing barriers in accessing care. We join the WHO in calling for global action to address health inequities for people with TB and other diseases.

Everyone has a role to play in ending TB – individuals, communities, businesses, governments, societies.

World Water Day, held on 22 March every year since 1993, focuses on the importance of freshwater.

World Water Day celebrates water and raises awareness of the 2.2 billion people living without access to safe water. It is about taking action to tackle the global water crisis. A core focus of World Water Day is to support the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal 6: water and sanitation for all by 2030.

This 2022, the focus is groundwater, an invisible resource with an impact visible everywhere.

Groundwater is water found underground in aquifers, which are geological formations of rocks, sands, and gravels that hold substantial quantities of water. Groundwater feeds springs, rivers, lakes, and wetlands, and seeps into oceans. Groundwater is recharged mainly from rain and snowfall infiltrating the ground. Groundwater can be extracted to the surface by pumps and wells.

Life would not be possible without groundwater. Most arid areas of the world depend entirely on groundwater. Groundwater supplies a large proportion of the water we use for drinking, sanitation, food production, and industrial processes.

Down syndrome occurs when an individual has an extra partial (or whole) copy of chromosome 21. It is not yet known why this syndrome occurs, but Down syndrome has always been a part of the human condition. It exists in all regions across the globe and commonly results in variable effects on learning styles, physical characteristics and health.

Adequate access to health care, early intervention programmes, and inclusive education, as well as appropriate research, are vital to the growth and development of the individual.

Together we can empower people around the world to advocate for full inclusion in society for people with Down syndrome and for everyone.

The Commonwealth Day is commemorated by 54 countries across the world every second Monday in the month of March, honoring each country's shared values and rich diversity as members of the Commonwealth.

The theme for this year was ‘Delivering a Common Future’. This year's celebration is historic as it marks 70 years of the reign of Queen Elizabeth II and her role as Head of the Commonwealth.

Happy Commonwealth Day South Africa.
