Global partners now recognize #SierraLeone as a model for where Africa is making a change for maternal & child survival. At #UNGA81, @DembyAustin presented progress on #TripleZerocampaign and called for sustained financing to translate these gains into a fixed healthcare culture.

Under the visionary leadership of President Mahama, one year on, #AccraReset moves to action: 5 political shifts, 10 concrete steps—one national health plan and budget, domestic financing, pooled regional procurement, and local manufacturing. The test is no longer ambition. It is delivery. Proud to be part of this great journey as Special Advisor to President @JDMahama @KMAkandoh @S_OkudzetoAblak. @DrTedros @AminaJMohammed @Elhadj_As_Sy

The world is getting more polarised and our digital environment is a growing reflection of it. Here’s my take on how we can craft our own digital intelligence - one post at a time: youtu.be/anjQJLDSRBY?si=7xEZ… Thank you, @TEDx, for the invite. It’s been a fun journey!

It was my special privilege and honour to present my friend, former Executive Director of the @WHO Health Emergencies Programme and colleague Dr Mike Ryan from #Ireland, with the Director-General's Award for Global Health for his leadership in strengthening global health emergency preparedness and response. Mike helped establish the Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network (@WHOGOARN), which has supported responses to hundreds of disease outbreaks worldwide. From leading WHO’s response to major health emergencies, including SARS, Ebola and COVID-19, to also serving as Deputy Director-General, his leadership has helped shape how the world detects, prepares for and responds to health emergencies. Mike's work has had a profound and lasting impact on the protection of vulnerable communities and global health security. #WHA79
