This #WorldAIDSDay, we're raising awareness of setbacks in HIV/AIDS treatment & prevention #COVID19 has caused. While people living with HIV face greater risks, many have not had equitable access to vaccines. projecthope.org/setbacks-cause…

Of course Africa needs to manufacture its own mRNA vaccines - it has no other choice.

WHO and partners call for action to better protect health and care workers from COVID-19 who.int/news/item/21-1…

Let’s take this opportunity to reinvest and reinvigorate our collective efforts to ending the TB epidemic by 2030.bit.ly/3aIbCTa

WHO’s report on more global TB deaths and declines in TB funding is a disturbing reminder of the many setbacks as a direct result of the COVID-19 pandemic. bit.ly/3aIbCTa

Looking forward to the #WHFNewYork2021 session on medical intelligence, data, & global health. Panelists will discuss how tech & strategic partnerships solve the world’s greatest problems, from pandemic preparedness to #HealthEquity gaps. bit.ly/2VKDPVq @WHForumLondon

As we work to respond to the crisis in Haiti following the deadly earthquake over the weekend, we must remember the country is still fighting #COVID19, and the spread will grow as people flee and are displaced – all as #Grace approaches. newsweek.com/haiti-earthqua…

Great piece from @BrettSholtis featuring @TomKenyonMD: “If we have a more infectious virus, and more lethal virus, and God forbid, one that evades vaccines, then we’re in big, big trouble.” Via @witfnews bit.ly/3eoH2Ai

COVID-19 vaccines are an unprecedented scientific achievement. But rather than giving us the privilege to forget this ever happened, they reaffirm how it changed us ... remind us how fragile the world’s health really is, & how much we depend on one another bit.ly/3yCJMBC

We're sitting on a COVID-19 time bomb. While we celebrate in parts of the world, others are in emergency mode. Less than 1% of the African population is vaccinated. Will efforts to scale vaccine delivery be fast & equitable enough to save lives? #Delta bit.ly/3vY4c6q

COVID-19 infections are spiking in Africa as the Delta variant spreads. Insufficient vaccine supply threatens lives & highlights gross health inequities btwn high- & low-income countries. Our regional team provides on-the-ground perspective & urges action: bit.ly/35PliZz

As important as it is to celebrate progress and honor the past, we must remind ourselves that there is still no cure or an effective preventive vaccine for #HIV/#AIDS after 40 years. #HealthEquity gaps continue to define who has access to treatment. projecthope.org/aids-at-40/06/…

We're still shattering records in weekly #COVD19 cases globally. “Only 0.3 percent of vaccinations have been in low-income countries ...The more this virus proliferates around the world, the more difficult it becomes to control it at home" – @TomKenyonMD bit.ly/3dVp1tq

Navajo Nation has lead a #COVID19 response all communities can learn from: honoring health worker "warriors," upholding public health precautions–even w/ leading vaccine rates–& urging 100% vaccination. We're honored to support & ask all to consider this success a reason for hope

We've reached a tragic milestone w/ 3M+ COVID deaths. Getting vaccinated doesn't exempt us from taking precautions like wearing masks. W/ concerning variants emerging & slow progress w/ vaccination in many countries, this virus remains a threat to all. bit.ly/3eaTylK

Congrats to @_AfricanUnion, @AfricaCDC & partners on a groundbreaking event that paves way for vaccine production & health equity in Africa. A lesson from the pandemic is that African nations should never again be last in line to for life-saving vaccines bit.ly/3e70y36

My condolences to the families & friends of 3,607 U.S. health care workers & 17,000 globally (through September per @amnesty) who succumbed to #COVID19. It's unethical to not make vaccines accessible to the global health care workforce – NOW. bit.ly/3g7plHd

#COVID19 has devastated nursing homes. Staggering infection rates in residents and staff. Substantial loss of life. Isolation. But Project HOPE volunteer nurses Celeste Pearson & Susan Schory are working to break the chain of transmission. #VolunteerVoices bit.ly/309ydTD

Thank you @ABC7GMW @AdriannaHopkins for the opportunity to highlight the needs in #Beirut #Lebanon. Your program will allow @projecthopeorg to help more people in need and help the resilient #Lebanese people rebuild their lives. wjla.com/features/good-…
