A courageous and selfless decision. The President did what he’s done for the last four years - he listened to the American people and put the country’s interests ahead of his own. The exact opposite of Donald Trump.

The number of maternal & newborn deaths each year is staggering. Most are preventable. “We know what works, yet inequities in access to quality & affordable #MNCH services continue to slow progress,” @enasikye says. Advocacy is key to driving change ⬇️ https://t.co/ws1Ch1MHJA

The @AfricanUnion & @AfricaCDC set a goal of #VaccineSovereignty by 2040. To get there, African manufacturers will need to produce 1.5 billion+ doses annually—73x more than what's produced now. We're proud to have helped inform this @ONECampaign analysis:
