Universal health coverage is the ultimate expression of equity – the idea that all people can access the health services they need, without financial hardship   @GHS has been one of the most steadfast advocates for UHC, including its work to establish #UHCDay, which #UNGA adopted in 2017, and which we now celebrate every year on the 12th of December.   My special thanks to the CEO David Gold for his passion, leadership and partnership over many years, to advocate for access to health care for everyone, everywhere. And thank you for the humbling honour last night.   Equity is the reason we do this work, so I accept this award as a commitment to continue.

The 21 diseases on the WHO's neglected tropical disease list share one thing: they overwhelmingly hit poor and marginalized communities, and getting added can be its own battle. For many impacted people, getting their NTD added to the list is just the first step towards broader awareness and sustained funding. Read more: forbes.com/sites/christinero…

Dengue infects up to 400 million people a year—and India carries a third of that burden. The country just approved its first vaccine, Qdenga, developed by Takeda. It targets all four dengue strains and works regardless of prior infection. Learn more about the approval: reuters.com/business/healthc…

As #WorldBreastfeedingWeek draws to a close, let’s hear from the people at the heart of it - young moms and dads from across GHS offices. This shared what breastfeeding has meant to them - the experiences, the support that helped, and the small moments that made a difference. Their stories remind us that every breastfeeding journey is stronger when it is shared. #WorldBreastfeedingWeek #WBW2026

Today marks the start of #WorldBreastfeedingWeek2026. Breastfeeding gives every child a healthy start, but mothers need the right support to make it possible. Families, healthcare providers, workplaces, and communities all have a role to play. Together, let's create an environment where every mother has the support she needs to breastfeed. #WBW2026 #Strengthenwhatworks

Researchers in Nigeria have developed a creative way to educate children about schistosomiasis, a neglected tropical disease that impacts millions of children in Sub-Saharan Africa. Although effective treatment and prevention tactics are available, transmission awareness and misinformation pose a challenge to uptake. Enter “Schisto & Ladders”, a board game developed by researchers from Akwa Ibom State University. The game teaches children about ways to prevent schistosomiasis, combats misinformation, and helps improve community uptake of the safe medicines used to treat it.
