India eliminated yaws in 2016, a chronic, disfiguring and debilitating childhood infectious disease. Science made it possible. Through strong surveillance, early detection and effective treatment, the disease was eliminated, protecting generations of children. #StandWithScience #HealthForAll #TogetherForHealth

Singapore’s Foreign Minister on why he cannot accept negotiating with Iran for safe passage of ships. Definitely worth listening to:

@Dr_JeanKaseya @AfricaCDC @ECDC_EU A decade of partnership. A deeper commitment - exemplifying that global health security is a shared responsibility, not a regional one. Strengthening the @AfricaCDC / @ECDC_EU axis is crucial for a safer, more prepared world. #GlobalHealth #OneHealth #HealthSecurity

Pleased to sign a Memorandum of Understanding with Dr. Pamela Rendi-Wagner, Director of the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control. @AfricaCDC and @ECDC_EU have worked together for more than a decade. This agreement deepens that partnership and strengthens our shared commitment to health security in Africa, Europe, and globally. Infectious diseases do not respect borders. Strong cooperation is essential. Together, we will advance surveillance, preparedness, and collaboration on antimicrobial resistance and emerging health threats.

Africa CDC et l’ECDC collaborent depuis plus d’une décennie. Cet accord renforce ce partenariat et consolide notre engagement commun en faveur de la sécurité sanitaire en Afrique, en Europe et à l’échelle mondiale. Les maladies infectieuses ne respectent pas les frontières. Une coopération forte est essentielle. Ensemble, nous renforcerons la surveillance, la préparation et la collaboration dans la lutte contre la résistance aux antimicrobiens et les menaces sanitaires émergentes.

@picardonhealth @mattscace67 @globeandmail Yet another ‘investigation’? This is not an anomaly. It is systemic failure. In less-resourced settings, such a death would provoke immediate consequences. Here, post-mortem reviews seem to replace accountability, obscuring the steady erosion of public health care capacity.

Family grieving, government investigating after man dies waiting in Edmonton ER. Prashant Sreekumar waited more than eight hours as pain grew unbearable, his wife says, by @mattscace67 theglobeandmail.com/canada/alberta… via @globeandmail

@picardonhealth @globeandmail 8 hours in ER. Chest pain. Tylenol. Death. This is not an anomaly: rather, result of health-care system collapse. Reviews won’t save lives. Staffing, capacity & political accountability will. #HealthCareCrisis #ABHealth #CDNHealth #ERCollapse #PublicHealthFailure

Alberta government orders review after man dies of cardiac arrest in ER while waiting for care. 44-year-old, who was experiencing chest pain, died after allegedly waiting nearly eight hours to see a doctor at the ER. theglobeandmail.com/canada/alberta… via @globeandmail #CanadaWAITS

Days after Prashant Sreekumar, a 44 year old Indian origin man, died in Canada after waiting over 8 hours for treatment, his wife seeks JUSTICE. ~ "People told me that in India he would have been treated in 10 minutes. This increases my pain"

@WHOAFRO #ESPEN at 10: real #NTD progress, bigger challenges ahead. Congrats to new Co-Chairs. We must stay united and push until #elimination is achieved #beatNTDs

The 10th #ESPEN Steering Committee Meeting has opened in Brazzaville 🇨🇬, bringing together experts and partners to review progress and shape the programme’s next 5-year strategy to fast-track #NTDs elimination. The message is clear: elimination is possible. #BeatNTDs espen.afro.who.int

💻 We recently hosted a webinar on bridging the research-to-policy gap for NTDs together with @aphrc. 👉Eliminating NTDs isn't just a scientific challenge; it's a governance and policy challenge which requires Africa-led domestic financing solutions. youtube.com/watch?v=2YXoGO…

Cigarette filters are the second-largest plastic pollutant on Earth, and do not reduce health harms. Ban filters and protect the planet. Learn more 👉bit.ly/3LJgb5v #TobaccoExposed

@GlobalFund @sibulele_sibaca @GFAN_Africa Great message — but ignoring #NTDs undercuts it. If the Global Fund is truly about “lives, livelihoods and hope,” then why are NTDs, which trap millions in poverty & misery, still excluded? Leaving them out is a blind spot.

On the sidelines of #G20SouthAfrica, @GlobalFund Board Chair Lady Roslyn Morauta highlights the power of the partnerships & communities at the center of global health. As the world looks ahead to the Global Fund’s Eighth Replenishment Summit, her message offers a reminder: “The Global Fund is not simply a fund. It is a collective investment in lives, livelihoods, communities & hope for future generations.”

@CombatNTDs @WHO Egypt’s elimination of #trachoma shows what a country's determination & relentless #NTD partnerships can achieve. Kudos to @TrachomaControl, @Sightsavers, @ITI_trachoma, @Rotary & @Pfizer. @WHO’s validation seals their success. #BeatNTDs #GlobalHealth #EyeHealth

Egypt has eliminated #trachoma as a public health problem! Progress is proof: ending #NTDs is a massive win for the Egyptian people and for the world. Tap the link to learn more about this milestone on the @WHO website bit.ly/47S94yK #beatNTDs

@BogochIsaac Sad to see #Canada losing its #measles elimination status. Recent outbreaks show serious gaps in vaccination & surveillance. This requires @CPHO_Canada to work harder to restore that status, improve coverage & protect our most vulnerable. #VaxUp #PublicHealth #GlobalHealth

Canada has lost its measles elimination status...a sad milestone. Now is the time to double down on lowering barriers to routine childhood immunizations and ensuring Canadians have access to credible, science-based information. Link: tinyurl.com/c8nfxvk3

@TrachomaControl @WHO By eliminating #trachoma, Egypt has shown what relentless partnership can achieve. Kudos to @TrachomaControl, @Sightsavers, @ITI_trachoma, @Rotary & @Pfizer. Validation by @WHO simply seals their success. #BeatNTDs #GlobalHealth #EyeHealth

Egypt has been validated by @WHO as having eliminated trachoma as a public health problem. It is the 27th country globally and the seventh in the WHO Eastern Mediterranean Region to achieve this milestone. trachomacoalition.org/news-blogs/egy…

We're keeping up the push to integrate schistosomiasis and T. solium taeniasis control — building on ESPEN–GIZ (2020–2024) partnership on One Health NTDs — to reach 100% geographicalǰ coverage across the region. #OneHealth #NTDs

Rabies is a disease of inequality. 95% of deaths occur in areas where access to vaccines and health care is often limited. Ending human deaths from rabies requires a comprehensive One Health approach - including mass dog vaccination, timely access to PEP, community awareness and more - so no one is left behind. who.int/news-room/fact… #EndRabies #WorldRabiesDay

It's #WorldRabiesDay. Every nine minutes a person dies from #rabies, although it is 100% preventable. Protect yourself & your furry friends 🐶 by getting your dog vaccinated annually. Ensure people who are bitten also get access to life saving vaccines! Learn more 🐾 bit.ly/2lOHbop

@AnitaAnandMP @Billbrowder While Canadians struggle with sky-high prices, crushing debt, and job insecurity, our leaders are busy holding coffee chats about Ukraine. Wow!

This morning I met with human rights advocate @Billbrowder to discuss Canada’s unwavering support for Ukraine, including our sanctions against Russia. Thank you, Bill, for your important work and for our conversation.

Despite decades of progress, #malaria is making a dangerous comeback. In 2023 alone, Africa recorded 246 million cases and nearly 600,000 deaths, accounting for 95% of global malaria mortality. In their latest opinion piece on @bmj_latest, @AfricaCDC's @Dr_JeanKaseya & @NebiyuDere36011 note that this crisis is avoidable with the right investment, collaboration, and leadership➡️ow.ly/klrZ50WWIRX. #EndMalaria

This World Rabies Day, we are working with @RabiesAlliance to promote the use of high-quality, effective dog rabies vaccines. Effective dog rabies vaccines are crucial to ensuring the success of vaccination campaigns. Together we can end rabies now.
