Mae’r ‘Memorandwm Cyd\-ddealltwriaeth’, sy’n cael ei gefnogi gan Iechyd Cyhoeddus Cymru a Gwasanaeth Iechyd Gwladol Cymru, yn ffurfioli’r berthynas gadarnhaol sy’n datblygu gyda Sefydliad Iechyd y Byd, gan gadarnhau bod Cymru yn wlad sydd â llawer i’w gyfrannu at yr agenda hawliau a thegwch iechyd, ac yn ehangach.


Yn dilyn arwyddo’r cytundeb yn swyddogol, cynhaliwyd cyfarfod rhithiwr heddiw \[Dydd Mercher, 4 Tachwedd] rhwng y sefydliadau i drafod eu gwaith partneriaeth ymhellach, gan gynnwys nodi’r heriau cyffredin mewn cymunedau cyn effeithiau COVID\-19 ac ar eu hôl a goresgyn yr heriau hynny.


Mae’r memorandwm hefyd yn nodi cytundeb cyffredin bod angen buddsoddi mewn iechyd a llesiant, yr amodau hanfodol ar gyfer sicrhau iechyd o’r safon uchaf posibl, datblygu cynaliadwy a ffyniant i bawb yng Nghymru.


Mae gan Lywodraeth Cymru nifer o gynlluniau yn ymwneud ag iechyd sy’n canolbwyntio ar gydraddoldeb, megis presgripsiynau am ddim i bob preswylydd yng Nghymru a pharcio am ddim ym mhob ysbyty. Cymru hefyd yw’r wlad gyntaf i sefydlu ei menter Adroddiad Statws Tegwch Iechyd (HESRi) ei hun, gan ymuno â chynghrair ar gyfer tegwch iechyd.


Dywedodd Vaughan Gething, y Gweinidog Iechyd a Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol:



> Yma yng Nghymru rydym wedi ymrwymo’n llawn i sicrhau ffyniant cynaliadwy, o fewn ein ffiniau a thu hwnt iddynt. Mae Cymru, fel y rhan fwyaf o wledydd, yn dioddef  anghydraddoldebau o ran iechyd, ond rydyn ni’n benderfynol o adeiladu Cymru iachach i bawb.
> 
> 
> Mae’r ffaith bod Sefydliad Iechyd y Byd wedi cydnabod ein gwaith caled yn dyst i waith caled a dyfalbarhad pobl Cymru, sy’n gweithio’n barhaus i sicrhau cydraddoldeb ar gyfer ein cenedl.


Dywedodd Dr Hans Kluge, Cyfarwyddwr Rhanbarthol Swyddfa Ranbarthol Ewrop  Sefydliad Iechyd y Byd:



> Pa fath o le yr hoffech chi dyfu, magu teulu a mynd yn hŷn ynddo? Drwy ei ffocws ar feithrin cadernid pobl a chryfhau systemau iechyd a bywoliaeth, mae Cymru wedi defnyddio dull a all sicrhau lleoedd iach a chydlynol y gall pawb ffynnu ynddynt, heddiw ac ar gyfer cenedlaethau’r dyfodol.

> Mae’r hyn y byddwn yn ei ddysgu gan Gymru ynglŷn â sut i wireddu hyn yn ymarferol yn cyfrannu at gyflawni fy ngweledigaeth ar gyfer iechyd ar draws Rhanbarth Ewropeaidd Sefydliad Iechyd y Byd, a hynny drwy’r Rhaglen Waith Ewropeaidd.



> Gyda’r cytundeb hwn rhwng Llywodraeth Cymru a Sefydliad Iechyd y Byd, rydw i’n edrych ymlaen at gefnogi’r gwaith o sicrhau iechyd, datblygiad cynaliadwy a ffyniant i bobl Cymru, a dysgu o’r dulliau arloesol hyn i gryfhau tegwch iechyd ledled Ewrop dros y blynyddoedd i ddod.


Dywedodd Dr Tracey Cooper, Prif Weithredwr Iechyd Cyhoeddus Cymru:



> Mae anghydraddoldebau iechyd yn bodoli yn ein cymdeithas ac mae effaith pandemig y coronafeirws newydd wedi gwaethygu’r anghydraddoldebau hyn, gyda chanlyniadau hirdymor difrifol i iechyd y boblogaeth, yn arbennig i’r grwpiau mwyaf agored i niwed yn y gymdeithas.
> 
> 
> Mae’r niweidiau hyn i’w teimlo naill ai’n uniongyrchol yn sgil y clefyd neu’n anuniongyrchol drwy effeithiau’r heriau economaidd, colli swyddi, ansicrwydd parhaus ac effaith y clefyd ar lesiant meddyliol a’r gorbryder y mae pobl yn ei deimlo wrth ddefnyddio gwasanaethau iechyd.
> 
> 
> Drwy ein Canolfan Gydweithredu Sefydliad Iechyd y Byd, rydyn ni wedi gweithio’n agos gyda’n cyfeillion yn Sefydliad Iechyd y Byd dros y blynyddoedd diwethaf. Daw’r Memorandwm Cyd\-ddealltwriaeth hwn ar adeg bwysig iawn wrth inni symud yn gyflym i liniaru’r effeithiau iechyd ehangach yn sgil y coronafeirws a dysgu gyda’n gilydd wrth wneud hynny.
> 
> 
> Mae hefyd yn cryfhau’r berthynas rhwng Cymru a Sefydliad Iechyd y Byd ymhellach. Mewn partneriaeth â Llywodraeth Cymru, byddwn yn cydweithio ar y cynllun gwaith y cytunwyd arno i sicrhau’r canlyniadau iechyd a llesiant gorau a gwella tegwch iechyd yn ystod y cyfnod heriol hwn.

Supported by Public Health Wales and NHS Wales, the ‘Memorandum of Understanding’ formalises the positive and developing relationship with WHO, confirming Wales as a country with much to contribute to the health equity and rights agenda, and more widely.


Following the official signing of the agreement, a virtual meeting took place today \[Wednesday 4 Nov] between the organisations to further discuss their partnership work, including to identify and overcome the common challenges facing society prior to and after the effects of COVID\-19\.


The memorandum also sets out a common agreement of the need for investment in health and well\-being, the essential conditions for achieving the highest possible level of health, sustainable development and prosperity for all people in Wales.


The Welsh Government have a number of health\-related schemes with equality at their fore, such as free prescriptions for every Welsh resident and free parking at every hospital. Wales is also the first country to establish its own Health Equity Status Report initiative (HESRi), joining an alliance for health equity.  

Vaughan Gething, Minister for Health and Social Services said:



> Here in Wales we are fully committed to achieving sustainable prosperity, within our borders and beyond. Wales, like most countries, experiences inequalities in health but we are determined to build a healthier Wales for all.
> 
> 
> Having our hard work recognised by the World Health Organization is a true testament to the hard\-work and grit of the people of Wales who are continually working for equality for our nation.


Dr Hans Kluge, Regional Director, WHO Regional Office for Europe said:



> What kind of place would you like to grow up in, have a family and grow old? Through its focus on building people’s resilience, and strengthening health and livelihood systems, Wales has taken an approach that can deliver healthy and cohesive places for all people to prosper and flourish, today and for future generations.
> 
> 
> The learning from Wales on how to make this happen in practice will contribute to fulfilling my vision for health across the WHO European Region, through the European Programme of Work.
> 
> 
> With this agreement between the Welsh Government and WHO, I look forward to supporting the delivery of health, sustainable development and prosperity to the people of Wales, and learning from these innovative approaches to strengthen health equity across Europe in the years to come.


Dr Tracey Cooper, Chief Executive of Public Health Wales, said:



> Health inequalities exist in our society, and the effect of the global Novel Coronavirus pandemic has exacerbated these inequalities with serious long\-term consequences on population health, especially so for the most vulnerable groups in society.
> 
> 
> These harms are felt either directly through the disease, or indirectly through the effects of the economic challenges, job losses, continuing uncertainty and its impact on mental well\-being, and the anxiety for people in engaging with health services.
> 
> 
> Through our WHO Collaborating Centre, we have worked closely with our colleagues in the WHO for the last few years and this MoU comes at an extremely important time as we move swiftly to mitigate the broader health impacts of the coronavirus and learn together in doing so.
> 
> 
> It also marks a further strengthening of Wales’s relationship with the WHO. In partnerships with Welsh Government, we will work collaboratively on the agreed work plan to optimise health and well\-being and improve health equity in these challenging times.
