#SkollWF sidebar by Resilience Action Network Africa (RANA) and @PandemicAction was truly inspiring with authentic voices of community advocates. It’s truly the embodiment of courage under fire! Locally led solutions amplified at scale are best chance to resilience!

What a phenomenal report! This should inform robust steps towards making medical oxygen available in various settings, particularly in LMIC so that we can save many lives we needlessly loose like the case of my father in 2021.
Missed the launch of the @LancetGH #Oxygen Commission? You can watch the recording here 👉 https://t.co/1JOF0oto4e With @fssengooba @GrahamHamish @CarinaTKing

Am deeply saddened by the news of the untimely death @DocFaustine the @WHOfFRO Regional Director elect. I had productive meeting with him recently on the sidelines of @WorldHealthSmt in Berlin. He was a visionary leader with great plans for Africa public health!
Shocked and deeply saddened to learn about the sudden passing of Dr Faustine Ndugulile, @WHOAFRO Regional Director-elect. My heartfelt condolences to his family and friends, and the parliament and people of #Tanzania. https://t.co/hYw4NykTov

It was a honor to be part of this distinguished panel. My messege from Civil society was that Pandemic Fund is strategic and opportune in building an equitable Pandemic PPR and needs all of our support. However, PF need to continue its quest towards inclusively.
Thank you to everyone for tuning in to our #UNGA97 event yesterday! The event recording is pinned on our X feed, and it will soon be available on our website: https://t.co/a30lkdEY4J Huge thanks to @WHO for co-hosting with us! Thank you to all of our speakers. H.E.

As #INB11 opened @PandemicAction’s @aggrealuso urged member states not to opt for protocols of annexes but to keep PABS, technology transfer, intellectual property and One Health as “robust in the text of the final agreement.” via @HealthPolicyW 👇🏼 https://t.co/Lnj4PtM7Am

The mpox outbreak – characterised by the all-too-familiar lack of vaccines for Africa – provided added impetus to the global negotiations for a pandemic

Very insightful piece that am glad to have co-authored. With Africa witnessing astronomical increases in climate sensitivity disease outbreaks, it’s time we prioritized nature based solutions, building on indigenous knowledge of our communities!

We must reduce our emergency response time and ensure the availability of equipment, supplies, and capacity needed to save lives. @PandemicAction's @aggrealuso speaks with @thenation's @angieoketch @LilysNjeru about the ongoing #mpox outbreak. https://t.co/nWySieqYyv

Experts say that access to tests, treatments, and vaccines for African active outbreak is inadequate.

👏🏾 Support @DrTedros convening the Emergency Committee under the #IHR to address #mpox. Now is the time for African and world leaders to put intentions of solidarity to practice through political leadership + funding + increased access to tests and vaccines to save lives! 🌍
BREAKING 🌍 @DrTedros will convene the Emergency Committee under the International health Regulations to advise on whether the ongoing outbreak of #mpox constitutes a public health emergency of international concern or a #PHEIC. 👇
