I thank @WHO’s Member States for the progress they have made on the Pathogen Access and Benefit Sharing system annex of the WHO Pandemic Agreement. With urgency and continued commitment, remaining differences will be resolved and the world will be better prepared for the next pandemic. who.int/news/item/01-0…

Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance
The nomadic communities of Kenya’s Isiolo County have the longest average travel time to immunisation facilities of all Kenyans. That can take a toll on immunisation rates, especially when the families themselves are also perennially on the move. Inside the effort to reach the hardest to reach: bit.ly/4tvOoGy

For every generation, #VaccinesWork, as highlighted by @WHO. From the nurse who has seen the consequences of life without protection, to the next generation growing up safer because of it, to the child who can play, learn, and thrive — vaccines make the difference.

From Ilan Schwartz "An oral formulation of amphotericin B could be a game-changer for managing serious fungal infections like cryptococcal meninigitis and histoplasmosis." The invention of a temperature-stable oral amphotericin B formulation by Dr. Kishor Wasan and Ellen Wasan shows enormous promise. I’m delighted that partial funding has been secured to continue its clinical development, starting with where the need is greatest: cryptococcal meningitis in Uganda, in a phase II RCT led by David Meya and David Boulware" @MSF_canada @globalamrmedia @ilanschwartz @CanHealthwatch @WHOEMRO @BogochIsaac @ISNTD_Press @ISID_org @ISAC_world
