The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed the vulnerabilities of health systems around the world. Emergency measures have created barriers to accessing essential services and medicines, with major impacts on children and young people, especially those living with non-communicable diseases (NCDs). As the pandemic continues into the foreseeable future, we must position youth at the center of discussions about preparedness, push for health systems change to protect the most vulnerable, and invest in healthier and more resilient societies.<\/p>\n

This discussion will encourage thoughtful dialogue\u00a0about\u00a0the\u00a0health systems changes needed to protect young people,\u00a0and the importance of\u00a0engaging\u00a0young people as active and positive change agents.<\/p>\n
