📷 This week is International Infection Prevention Week.
Infection prevention and control keeps patients, health workers and communities safe, and keeps health systems ready for the next outbreak.

💭 Spotted on our GHS2026 reflection wall:
"Insanity is doing the same things over and over and expecting different results."
A line that applies to nearly every conversation in global health security right now. The threats are evolving. Our response has to as well.

🔬 Today is World Field Epidemiology Day.
Field epidemiologists are often first to detect an outbreak, turning data into action before most of us know a threat exists.
Including our very own CEO, @SaskiaPopescu, our resident epidemiologist.

💬 "The solutions will not come from any single discipline, any single institution or any single country."
Dr. Revati Phalkey, UNU-IIGH, opening GHS2026's Welcome Plenary in Kuala Lumpur.
A message that still holds as we look toward GHS2028.

It's been a 100 days since the declaration of the Ebola outbreak in DR Congo.
More than 50 organizations are working alongside the Government to stop Ebola.
See inside an Ebola treatment centre with @ALIMAong, @WHO, @WFP, @croix_rouge_rdc, @UNICEF & @MinSanteRDC.

Africa CDC, CEMAC and @WHOAFRO convened a high-level cross-border consultation bringing together the Central African Republic, DRC, Republic of the Congo, South Sudan and Uganda to strengthen regional preparedness against Bundibugyo Virus Disease.
From stronger surveillance and information sharing to coordinated action at borders and deeper community engagement, the message was clear: health security is a shared responsibility.

The fight against malaria is a race against a moving target.
3 challenges scientists are tackling now:
Mosquitoes are changing their biting times.
An invasive species is bringing malaria to cities.
Constant surveillance is our best defense.

100 days into the Ebola outbreak, trust remains one of the most important tools in the response.
In this community health worker’s own words, people respond differently. Some listen. Others doubt that Ebola exists or believe their symptoms come from another illness.
That is why community health workers matter. They explain the risks, challenge misinformation, encourage people to seek care early and connect families with health services. Stopping Ebola starts in communities, through people they know and trust.
Community by community. Case by case. Chain by chain.

Find every case. Follow every contact. Break every chain.
