March Water and health are inter-twined in many ways and it is important to address the increasing need for adequate and safe water to protect both people and the planet. Water is one of the earth's most precious and threatened resources.
Health is one of each person's most precious resources.
We need to protect and enhance them both. 22 March is a unique occasion to remind everybody that solutions are possible, and that key tools to this aim are strengthened participation and global co-operation. Concrete efforts to provide clean drinking water and improve health as well as to increase awareness world-wide of the problems and of the solutions, can help us make the difference. Our task is to turn words into political commitment and action. This means that DOTS should be available to all who need it, wherever they live, whether they are young or old, man or woman, homeless or housed, jailed or free.
