In Rwanda, years of investment in digital innovation have strengthened health systems to fight TB and other diseases.
When #COVID19 hit, those same innovations were harnessed to support vaccine distribution throughout the country. #WEF24 @wef

Community health workers are indispensable in achieving universal health coverage. But across Africa, up to 85% of community health workers are not paid. CHWs are the backbone of health systems – and they deserve to be treated as professionals. #ProCHW

Climate change exacerbates health risks, disrupts health systems & threatens our progress in the fight against the world’s deadliest diseases.
If we want a world free from AIDS, TB & malaria, we must address the impact of climate change.

El Niño conditions are returning.
This could raise global temperatures and make extreme weather events like droughts and floods more likely.
ALT Infographic with an image of Earth in the background reads: How could El Niño affect health? Higher temperatures and extreme weather events are more likely in an El Niño. Impacts include: escalating infectious diseases, like malaria, dengue and cholera; extreme heat, with heat-related risks to physical and mental health; floods, droughts and fires, which impact food security and access to healthcare.
John Fairhurst retweeted
There’s still time to act to limit its health impact for some of the world's most vulnerable populations.
We need to put health at the centre of preparing and responding to El Niño.
