En #Guinée, la santé n'est pas une destination : c'est un droit qui voyage. 🇬🇳 Avec l'ANSS et le @DeElargi, l’OIM mène des caravanes de vaccination à travers le pays parce que se soigner ne doit plus être une course contre la distance. #HealthForAll #WHD2026 @gavi @OIMGuinee

@DrTedros May she rests in eternal peace.

My heart is heavy with the passing of Ambassador Konjit Sinegiorgis, my former colleague and dear friend. Farewell to a titan of diplomacy. Ambassador Konjit Sinegiorgis entered the foreign service in 1962, one year before the founding of the Organisation of African Unity. From her earliest days as a diplomat, she devoted herself to the cause of decolonization. She later served as Ethiopia's Permanent Representative to the African Union, where she continued to shape the continent's destiny with wisdom, grace, and unwavering commitment. Throughout her remarkable career, she broke barriers and opened doors for so many who followed. She was a true pioneer, not only in her achievements but in the quiet dignity and strength with which she carried herself. Her legacy of service is unmatched, and her absence leaves a void that cannot be filled. Rest in peace, dear Konjit. You will be deeply missed, but never forgotten.

Somewhere right now, someone is choosing between a doctor’s visit and a meal. Healthcare is a right as fundamental as the air we breathe. This #HealthDay, no one's life should depend on where they were born, how much they earn, or which side of a border they stand on.

À l’occasion de la Journée mondiale de la santé, nous rendons hommage au personnel de l’OIM qui accompagne chaque jour les migrants en Côte d’Ivoire. #WorldHealthDay #SantéPourTous

Investing in TB control is a smart choice. Every USD 1 invested can generate up to USD 43 in health & economic benefits. With political will, financing, and rapid rollout of new TB diagnostics, we can reach people faster and save lives. Invest now. End TB. #WorldTBDay

IOM trained 15 community mentors including @UNVolunteers & regional mental health coordinators equipping them with Mental Health & Psychosocial Support, Psychological First Aid, referral pathways, & protection principles to strengthen safe & dignified reintegration for returnees.

🌍 Over 300M people live outside their home country. 83M are displaced within their borders. When people on the move can’t access health care, everyone is at risk. Health for All must mean everyone. 📽️Watch how we can make it happen. #UNGA80

At #TICAD9, one message is clear: Japan 🇯🇵 leadership and partnership with Africa help us 🌍 respond swiftly in crises, 🏠 support displaced families and ✈️ create safe, dignified pathways to new opportunities. In Japan, I saw partners turning this vision into action.
