Health should never be under attack. #NotATarget."

Collaborative Surveillance is only as strong as the systems and people behind it. At our #WHS2025 event with @GatesFoundation, leaders agreed that we need joint, predictable & coordinated investment, and a regular mechanism to align efforts across countries, regions & donors.

Today at #WHS2025, we discussed the crucial role that national public health agencies play in preparing for and responding to health emergencies. Inspiring to hear the experiences from different countries on how they structure and govern their agencies.

A tradition I have come to cherish over the past years. Every October, we kick off three productive days at the @WorldHealthSmt with a gathering of @WHO colleagues at the WHO Hub in Berlin. @RD_WPRO said it best: "We are united by our mission to protect health." #WHS2025

Berlin. I’m here for the annual @WorldHealthSmt to share the work of @WHO in the Western Pacific Region with a range of partners including governments, civil society and - not least - current and prospective donors and funders. But first, one of the most important

Another horrifying loss of an @MSF colleague in #Gaza. Omar Hayek was an occupational therapist. Other colleagues injured include a physiotherapist, and an orthopaedic surgeon among others. I mention their professions because I spoke earlier today of the urgent need for this

This morning, an attack carried out by Israeli forces killed Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) staff member, Omar Hayek, and seriously injured four others. The attack took place on a street where our teams were waiting to take a bus to the MSF field hospital in Deir al Balah, Gaza.

66 000 people have been killed and almost 170 000 have been injured in #Gaza. @WHO estimates that at least 1/4 of those have life-changing injuries that require immediate and ongoing rehabilitation. The explosions that cause these injuries also destroy the health facilities and
