Pour une province en proie à une escalade de violence comme le #Nord_Kivu🇨🇩, nos interventions d'urgence pour soulager les souffrances des déplacés internes & soigner les patients vulnérables sont vitales. Nous sommes déterminés à renforcer notre réponse & à sauver plus des vies.

Proud to return to @WHO Regional Emergency Hub in Dakar for its 1 year anniversary Inspiring words from @santegouv_sn @SalamGueye @LaurentMuschel The Hub enables @WHO - across 3 levels- to swiftly & effectively support countries in the region affected by health emergencies

La délégation de @WHO, (Adelheid Marschang, @Prof_TBalde & @samuelboland) était à #Nyantende #Sud_Kivu🇨🇩 la semaine dernière pour constater l’opérationnalisation du Centre de traitement #Mpox. Un projet d'appui de l'OMS, réalisé grâce au financement d'@USAID pour sauver des vies.

Thanks Dr. Sennen for the very interesting exchanges

L'atelier des champions de l'intelligence épidémique à partir de sources ouvertes #EIOS démarre au Hub régional des urgences de l'#OMS à Dakar, avec les représentants de 15 pays francophones !

Thanks to the leadership of @DrTedros, @MoetiTshidi, and @SalamGueye. Congrats to the Senegal EMT and to all colleagues for their unwavering dedication! #ProudToBeWHO @WHOAFRO @barryrodB @Chikwe_I

About one week ago, the recently established @WHO emergency Hub in Dakar has played a pivotal role in the finalization of the classification of the #Senegal EMT2. This is the first ever classified African #EMT ready to be deployed around the world for saving lives during PHE.

With support from @USAID, @WHO has delivered 3,500 GeneXpert cartridges to the DRC. These vital supplies will enhance #Mpox testing in the hardest-hit provinces and strengthen the overall response.
