100 days into the #Ebola emergency, more than 5,500 people have been infected and 2,640 have died. The response must scale dramatically: testing, treatment, safe burials, community engagement, essential health services — and safety for frontline workers.

Pandemic prevention, preparedness and response is not just an aspiration. It is a global public good.
My one ask to world leaders at the #UNGA High-Level Meeting: get the Pathogen Access and Benefit Sharing annex to the Pandemic Agreement done. As soon as possible.

Wonderful panel discussion on #pandemic issues at UN 🇺🇳 today with President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf & Dr Tedros, DG @WHO. Ellen led her country during an Ebola epidemic & on to recovery. She speaks with authority on importance of preparedness to fight disease 🦠 outbreaks.

“We can't abandon moving forward in the face of a pandemic, which caused excess mortality of 28 million people… that's more than five times the population of my country.”
The Right Honourable @HelenClarkNZ and Michel @Kazatchkine discuss the importance of signing the WHO Pandemic Agreement.

It’s disappointing that UN High-Level #Pandemic PPPR Meeting wasn’t asked to endorse political declaration negotiated by Member States. It will likely go to a vote at General Assembly, but HLM not approving shows how divided world is: nytimes.com/2026/09/25/us/po… @NYTimes @TheIndPanel

The session opened with a panel of global leaders, including former heads of government and state, Nobel Peace Prize laureates and members of The Elders, reflecting on the need for long-view leadership and stronger action on global public goods.
As @HelenClarkNZ, Former Prime Minister of New Zealand, noted, resilience requires leaders to look beyond what is most pressing today and prepare for the challenges that may be coming next.

🌍 Thank you to @TheElders, @TheIndPanel, @gavi, @CEPIvaccines, @wellcometrust, @GlobalFund, @nighealthwatch, #RANA, and everyone who joined us in New York and online. The case for international partnerships has never been clearer. ⚡️#UNGA81
The Independent Panel retweeted
Happening now at #UNGA81, the conversation on “Resilience and Stability for All: Prioritising International Partnerships for Our Shared Health and Security” is examining what it will take to strengthen global cooperation at a time when the world faces growing health and security challenges.
From pandemic preparedness and AI-related risks to the future of development assistance, speakers are making the case for looking beyond immediate crises and investing in partnerships that build resilience for the long term.

The response is scaling up in Haut-Uele, one of the 6 provinces where Ebola is spreading, but more preparedness is needed at the border with South Sudan.
It took us several days to get to this remote area of DRC with @UNOCHA and government colleagues.

Three vaccine trials are under way against Ebola Bundibugyo, while new diagnostics and treatments are being tested.
Scientific progress is accelerating — but equitable access will determine its impact.

To bring the Ebola outbreak under control, we must fully fund the Government-led $1.3 billion response plan and the remaining $1.1 billion humanitarian plan to meet the life-saving needs of people across the DRC.
The Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo is the fastest-spreading Ebola epidemic ever recorded.
It's growing faster & wider than the response to contain it.
But it can be stopped.
We know how to contain Ebola & save lives.
The world must urgently step up action to get it under control.
The Independent Panel retweeted
100 days of the latest Ebola outbreak. Way more action needed.
This is an important statement:
100 days into the #Ebola emergency, more than 5,500 people have been infected and 2,640 have died. The response must scale dramatically: testing, treatment, safe burials, community engagement, essential health services — and safety for frontline workers.

Money pledged does not always equal money reaching the front line. The financing picture remains fragmented and unclear, while health workers go unpaid and CSOs struggle for resources. Funding must flow reliably, with fewer conditions, and be tracked from commitment to point of use.
