Global military spending reached a record $2.7 trillion in 2024, with continued rises projected for 2025 amidst ongoing conflicts. Meanwhile, spending on global health initiatives has declined significantly. What the world needs is a greater focus on saving lives, not escalating confrontation. Peace is the best medicine.

This year… just joy—joy throughout. Drunk in joy, swimming in joy, soaking in joy, overflowing with joy. Happy new year all.

Strengthening Kenya’s frontline defense at points of entry. WHO joined the Kenya National Public Health Institute (@NPHI_Kenya), @Port_HealthKE, @IOMKenya, and @KenyaRedCross for a Marburg Virus Disease (MVD) preparedness assessment and training for responders at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA). The exercise enhanced early detection, triage, isolation, infection prevention, risk communication, community engagement, and infodemics management capacities among airport health teams and partners. JKIA and Mombasa International Airport have been prioritized due to their direct connectivity with Ethiopia, where Marburg Virus Disease has recently been reported. A similar session will be held later this week for responders at Mombasa International Airport, ensuring readiness across Kenya’s key points of entry.

The countdown is on to officially declare an end to the #Ebola outbreak in DRC 🇨🇩. Dr @RamadanOtim, @WHOAFRO’s Programme Area Manager (Emergency Response), visited Bulape to meet with frontline teams and review progress on the ground.

“Cholera can be prevented by washing hands, drinking boiled water, and eating clean food.” Meet Edward Lekai, a Grade 9 student at Elkarian Day and Boarding Primary School in Lolgorian, Narok County. Edward learned about cholera prevention both at school and at home through his teachers, posters, and his mother’s guidance. He practices what he learns: washing hands after using the toilet, drinking boiled water, and avoiding food sold in unsafe places. Edward believes health education in schools is key to protecting families and communities. The ongoing Oral Cholera Vaccine (OCV) campaign in Transmara West & South, Narok County—supported by @WHOKenya, Kenya Red Cross, and MSF—complements these awareness efforts. #CholeraResponse #OCV #HealthForAll #Kenya #StopCholera #CleanWater #SchoolHealth

“I’ve been supplying clean water here in Lolgorian, Narok County for years because safe water means good health.” A certified local water supplier, recognized by the @NarokCountyGvt , proudly shared how his work helps protect the Lolgorian community from diseases like #cholera by ensuring access to clean, safe water for homes, schools, and hospitals.
