On health, well-being, and sports, G20 health ministers affirmed the importance of continuity of healthcare services beyond COVID-19 pandemic, considering how the pandemic has affected people’s mental and physical health, and social well-being. Youth are the early adopters of technology and are rightly placed to innovate, develop and adopt technological solutions to conventional and newer challenges. Digital health infrastructure can deliver tremendous benefits to the young by helping them in better healthcare management – including prevention, treatment, and health risk monitoring. This theme will also explore the role of governments, schools, and communities in supporting the health and well-being of young people, and will highlight innovative initiatives and best practices in this area. Y20 will provide a platform for young people to share their ideas and experiences, and to advocate for policies and programs that support the health and well-being of their peers.
The Y20 deliberation will be anchored on the following subthemes:
- Promoting Digital Health Infrastructure
- Complete Well-being - Physical and Mental Health through Traditional Medicine and Yoga
- Improving Access to Health Financing for Young Citizens
- Prevention of Substance Abuse
- Promotion of Indigenous Sports
