Last week, Global Affairs Deputy Assistant Secretary @CLMcIff joined a meeting on Migration & Mobility of Health Care Workers in the Americas. His insights on workforce challenges with colleagues from the Americas and Europe are essential for advancing global healthcare.

Thanks to my brother, Minister @Karl_Lauterbach, for organising an important gathering on the #PandemicAccord negotiations — we agreed that the instrument can and should be concluded as we must avoid repetition of the human, social and economic cost of #COVID19. Together! #WHS2024

I hope next year's @WorldHealthSmt theme will be peace. We cannot talk about health alone. There is no health without peace.

As we scale up response to the #mpox outbreak, we need to work together across countries and continents to raise awareness, mobilize resources and increase preparedness of health systems and countries to contain the spread of the virus.

We mourn the tragic loss of our dear friend and colleague. A selfless leader and humanitarian. We will miss him dearly. Wishing his family strength at this difficult time. Rest in Peace dear Aidan.

I'm devastated and heartbroken at the passing of a very dear friend and colleague, Aidan O'Leary, Director of the @WHO Polio Eradication Programme. Aidan's passing is a shock to all of us, and especially to his family and friends in his native Ireland and around the world. On behalf of WHO, I extend my deepest condolences to all of them. Aidan was an outstanding humanitarian. He served tirelessly in the most difficult parts of the world, to help the most vulnerable populations survive and thrive, and to #EndPolio. He embodied the ideal of service and solidarity across peoples and borders. His passing is a terrible loss for WHO, for the @UN and for all of humanity. We will miss Aidan enormously. But we are committed to continuing his legacy to realise his vision - and ours - of a polio-free world. Rest in peace, my dear friend.

The agreement on a package of amendments to the International Health Regulations at #WHA77 and the decision to forge ahead and finalize the Pandemic Agreement text over the next year are very important steps towards a safer world and greater human security. Kudos to the dedicated negotiators!

@LawrenceGostin @DrTedros @AshBloomfield Thank you! And thx to you for the strong foundation the #WGIHR had because of the Review Committee report. For 🇺🇸 it was a whole of government effort starting with @HHSGov and @CDCgov and including @StateDept and @USAID among many more.
