Mulombo made the appeal on Saturday in Abuja during a walk commemorating the 75th anniversary of the WHO, which was dubbed ‘Walk the talk’.
According to him: “We are looking to a world where health will be seen as enabler, socio-economic development and not a consumption goods , we look towards a world where health issues will be treated as human rights.
“We look into a world where no child will miss a vaccine, we look into a world where no adult, no adolescents will miss a vaccine that will help them grow better.
