Paul McCartney finally succumbs to peer pressure and doesn't say no to drugs when offered LSD at Tara and Nicky Browne's. Probably because they hadn't made those commercials yet about your brain on drugs.

Bob Wooler goes onstage at the Cavern to tell the audience that, due to a winter storm, one act will not be appearing this evening.
That act, however, is not the Beatles but some folk duo so no one cares.

Call on leaders to make smarter investments and accelerate efforts towards “Health for All”.
Join us on December 12th to observe the International Universal Health Coverage Day 2022! under the theme ''Build the world we want: A healthy future for all''.
Each year on 12 December, Universal Health Coverage Day marks the date to call on leaders to make smarter investments and accelerate efforts towards “Health for All”. In the world we want, everyone everywhere has access to quality healthcare whenever they need it without suffering financial hardship.
Universal health coverage (UHC) lifts people out of poverty, promotes the well-being of families and communities, protects against public health crises, and moves us toward health for all. This year’s theme, “Build the world we want: A healthy future for all,” emphasizes that in order to build strong health systems we need equity, trust, healthy environments, investments and accountability.
UHC Day is an opportunity to celebrate progress and raise awareness for what is required to deliver essential health care for families and communities everywhere. This Universal Health Coverage Day marks the kick-off of WHO’s 75th anniversary of making health for all a reality and the countdown to the high-level meeting on UHC taking place at the UN General Assembly in 2023.
In the past two decades, the UHC service coverage index in the Western Pacific Region, which marks progress on increasing access to essential health services, has increased from 49 in 2000 to 80 in 2019. However, inequities in service coverage and financial hardship exist in many countries, especially among vulnerable and hard-to-reach populations.
As we have over the past 75 years, WHO stands with all people, communities and organizations across the world in taking action to “Build the world we want: A healthy future for all”.
Campaign objectives:
acknowledge and celebrate progress moving towards UHC in the Region (and world)
raise awareness for the need to increase investment from governments to build a sustainable and resilient health system that can deliver high-quality, affordable, people-centred lifelong participatory primary health care for all
emphasize the time is now to re-prioritize UHC and for health systems to work, they need to work for everyone
