Historic support for WHO at the @g20org in Brazil, where Heads of State and Government emphasized the need for a sustainably funded WHO! #InvestInWHO: bit.ly/3AMNCPq

During my visit to #Rwanda 🇷🇼 I was struck by the bravery & resilience of health workers, many of whom are survivors of the #Marburg outbreak. Robust action by the government from the highest level, while working closely with @WHO & partners, is effectively driving the response.

The sudden, recent death of our friend and colleague Aidan, former @WHO Polio Eradication Director, is still very difficult for all of us. He has led and championed such important work. To build on Aiden’s legacy, @WHO is looking for someone to take over the work to help us #EndPolio. Please share widely, so we can get the best person possible! The application is open until 23rd October: bit.ly/4eipUZD

#NHWQUOTEOFTHEWEEK In today's fast-paced digital world, the spread of health misinformation is a growing concern. With the rise of social media, false health information can travel far and fast, putting lives at risk. Engaging healthcare professionals in countering these infodemics with evidence-based information is key to protecting public health and empowering communities to make informed decisions. #HealthfactCheckNaija

Just as the people of #Chad no longer face the threat of African trypanosomiasis, so today we stand on the threshold of freeing Chad – and the world – from #GuineaWorm disease. From 3.5 million cases in the mid-1980s to just 14 reported cases last year, we have shown what’s possible when the global health community unites behind a common purpose. So far this year, only 4 human cases have been reported globally: 2 in Chad and 2 in South Sudan. This achievement is not just about numbers; it is about lives transformed and communities empowered. bit.ly/4gqvwmd
