Our work to support @gavi is firmly rooted in one belief: Every individual deserves to lead a healthy and productive life. Vaccines are our most powerful line of defense against deadly infectious diseases. The data supporting their effectiveness is staggering. Vaccines don’t

Just wrapped up a productive trip to Denmark focused on partnerships delivering global impact. I discussed exciting maternal health initiatives, how investment in R&D can fuel global health innovation, and visited @UNICEFSupply—the world's largest vaccine procurer. Denmark's

Thank you to Susanne Fraise, Andrew Jones, @simijan1, and Sofie Østergaard for a great visit to @UNICEFSupply in Copenhagen—the world’s largest centralized vaccine procurer, supported in funding from @gavi. In 2024, it procured 2.8B doses, reaching 45% of children under five

Insightful visit with @NovoNordisk CEO Mads Krogsgaard Thomsen. It was a privilege to learn about the strategic direction, engage with talented colleagues, and hear firsthand about the bold ambitions driving the foundation’s future. As complex global challenges persist,

I enjoyed meeting with Queen Mary of Denmark about the newly-launched 10 Million Safer Births Initiative. Her Majesty's patronage brings vital attention to our shared goal: 10 million safer births across Sub-Saharan Africa by 2030 through better-trained midwives and strengthened

I joined global leaders at #FfD4 to tackle a critical question: How can we make development finance work better for women and girls?. Without targeted investment in women and girls, they remain at risk of being left behind – yet again. We know progress on the Sustainable

A fairer system that responds to the needs of low-income countries—that is what we came together to build at the International Conference on Financing for Development in Sevilla. As devastating aid cuts continue to put lives at risk, leaders must reshape the development finance

While it is true development finance is under significant strain, and trust in the system to deliver is low, I am energized by the strong calls to action I am hearing in Sevilla from ministers representing countries from the North and South for a commission that can provide a

Yesterday in Seville, global leaders made it clear: at a time of constrained resources and falling aid budgets, they still believe in supporting a healthier future for people around the world. My sincere thanks to Spain and Luxembourg for their support to the @GlobalFund at.

Countries across the Global South are facing a perfect storm - from climate shocks and rising debt to shrinking budgets. At the same time, traditional development finance is under pressure, and trust in the global financial system is weakening. At the Financing for Development

Warren Buffett’s vision and generosity have shaped the @gatesfoundation in profound ways through nearly two decades of contributions and advice. We are grateful for his support, which has totaled nearly $48 billion since 2006.

As global cooperation on health and development becomes more challenging, Spain is showing what real leadership looks like: stepping forward, not back, and investing in what works. I’m proud to be in Sevilla for #FfD4, where there’s real momentum for reforms that give countries

A bright spot in troubled times: even with a significantly tightened budget, the UK has stepped up as Gavi’s leading backer. This commitment to @Gavi will contribute to saving millions of children’s lives, help many more children live to their fullest potential, strengthen.

Really enjoyed participating in #GlobalCitizenNOW’s summit in Sevilla, held alongside the #FfD4 conference. It was my first @GlblCtzn event since Mandela 100 in 2018—when $7B was pledged to fight extreme poverty. The energy in Sevilla was just as strong, and the urgency just as

Heading to @GlblCtzn NOW in Seville this weekend—an important lead-in to #FfD4. Poverty, health, climate, and financing reform are on the agenda. We have big challenges ahead of us, but also real opportunities for action. Hope to see you there. #GlobalCitizenNOW

Today, world leaders reaffirmed their commitment to protecting children from vaccine-preventable diseases, raising $9 billion for @gavi. This reflects strong global confidence in vaccines as one of the most effective investments in global health. As a founding partner, the.
