Helping protect children across Africa through routine immunisation, R21/Matrix-M™ continues to make an impact. This innovation has earned Professor Sir Adrian Hill the European Inventor Award 2026. Glad to have partnered on this journey with the @UniofOxford's @JennerInstitute, @Novavax, and global health partners.

Ghana is reaching 8 million people with medicines to help control three #NTDs. Through MDA, communities are receiving preventive treatment for river blindness, lymphatic filariasis, and schistosomiasis — part of the sustained effort needed to achieve elimination.

نُطلق أولى حلقات بودكاست «تخطيط» من إعداد #GHS كمساحة عربية للحوار حول #الصحة_العامة والسياسات ومستقبل الأنظمة الصحية في الشرق الأوسط وشمال إفريقيا. في الحلقة الأولى، نناقش #الأمراض_غير_السارية في سياق الأزمات وعدم الاستقرار الإقليمي. استمعوا الآن: linktr.ee/ghsmenapodcast

Ghana has cut under-five malaria deaths by 86%. In @HealthPolicyW, Dr. Selorm Kutsoati shares how: the malaria vaccine + proven tools + trusted voices to counter misinformation. Read more: healthpolicy-watch.news/how-ghana-slas… #EndMalaria #VaccinesWork

A 12-year study in Tanzania found a striking benefit from treating lymphatic filariasis (LF): new HIV infections dropped significantly in people that received the deworming treatment. This study shows that neglected tropical disease programs deliver benefits far beyond a single disease — they strengthen community health and resilience. thelancet.com/journals/lanhi…

The global HIV response is at a turning point. We have the scientific tools to #EndAIDS, but progress depends on political will, sustainable funding, and strong community leadership. #HLM2026AIDS #UnitedToEndAIDS

Most people have never heard the term "hidden hunger"—yet it affects millions of people across 🇮🇳 every day. Many people consume enough calories but still do not get the essential vitamins and minerals their bodies need, including iron, folate, Vitamin D, and Vitamin B12. These deficiencies often go unnoticed, but they can have serious consequences for health, learning, productivity, and well-being across generations. This video explains why hidden hunger deserves greater attention - and why awareness must be matched by action.

The Republic of #Korea is one of only four countries in the world that has reached a #hypertension control rate above 50%. Globally, every hour, over 1000 lives are lost to strokes and heart attacks from high blood pressure, while hypertension control is one of the most cost-effective interventions in public health. This is why I call on world and health leaders to heed ROK's experience:

Malnutrition is not about lack of food; it is about the lack of balanced nutrition. You could be eating a full meal every day and still missing out on essential vitamins and minerals that your body needs. Micronutrient deficiencies, also known as hidden hunger, silently drain your health, productivity and well-being. You may not even be realizing it. Watch to find out what’s missing from our plate and how it impacts all of us. In partnership with @GHS

🦟 Today is #WorldDengueDay. 390 million people contract dengue every year and cases are rising, fueled by climate change, urbanization and global travel. For a crisis of this scale, the response must be coordinated. Join researchers, health workers and advocates everywhere as #OneWorldAgainstDengue. 🌍

Elimination is within reach! @GileadSciences is renewing its collaboration with @WHO to help eliminate visceral leishmaniasis. The agreement includes 400,000+ vials of AmBisome and $9.2M through 2030 to expand access to treatment and accelerate progress toward elimination. Read more: gilead.com/news/news-deta…

Abuja is hosting the first ever High-Level Meeting on AMR in Africa, and it is also bringing together leaders in agriculture, trade, foreign affairs, as well as health, which is absolutely critical considering the challenge facing the world. @AMRAbuja2026

Eastern #DRC now faces a catastrophic collision of disease and conflict with the #Ebola outbreak in Ituri province outpacing the response. The Ebola Bundibugyo virus has no approved vaccine nor treatment. Stopping this Ebola transmission depends entirely on humanitarian access. Yet ongoing clashes are driving mass displacement, pushing exposed contacts into overcrowded camps and severing critical containment corridors. Frontline workers are risking everything, while attacks on health facilities make tracking cases and their contacts nearly impossible. We cannot build community trust or isolate the sick while bombs are falling. We urge all warring parties to agree to an immediate ceasefire to contain this outbreak. To allow us safe and sustained access for medical teams. We plea to prioritise human survival above everything else.

I’m really excited about the Strep A Vaccine Fund we’re launching today. IMO the basic case here is a great recipe for impact: → A huge problem: ~1% of total annual deaths worldwide (>600k) → Super neglected: ~$14M/yr of R&D globally before this, ~50x less than malaria which has similar mortality → Newly tractable: new human challenge models and earlier diagnostics should speed the path to an approved vaccine Grateful to our partners Adam and Abigail Winkel, Good Ventures, Lucy Southworth, @ThePatchworkCLT, and a few anon donors for getting us to >$140M at launch. We’re continuing to actively fundraise and think we could effectively spend >$200M over the next few years. Our goal is to double the number of Strep A vaccine candidates in clinical trials and have at least one ready for Phase 3 trials by the end of 2030. And I’m thrilled to be betting on Katharine’s vision here! As a grad student, she co-invented the R21 malaria vaccine that’s now reaching millions of kids. I’m hoping to see hundreds of millions of future Strep A vaccine doses with her fingerprints on them.
