Civilians must be protected and respected, always.

Parties to conflicts are the only ones with enough power to enforce the rules of war, transform them into reality, and save lives.

[World Bank Health @WBG_Health]

No family should have to choose between food and medicine.

We’re reducing financial barriers through supporting primary care access, affordable medicines, and national insurance programs.

[The Global Fund @GlobalFund]

At #WHA79, @PeterASands reaffirmed the @GlobalFund’s commitment to invest over US$3.5 billion over the next three years in malaria programs in countries & communities most affected by the disease,

The fight against malaria has stalled – putting millions of lives at risk. Now we must act with focus to strengthen partnerships, sustain investment & support country-led solutions to get back on track.

Community health workers are on the frontlines of the fight against HIV. They know their communities and help shape solutions that work.

(RED) and @MSDInvents are proud to aid @GlobalFund’s Community Engagement Strategic Initiative to support these workers.

Today is World Red Cross Red Crescent Day, and it comes at a moment of profound alarm.

"Too many of our colleagues have been killed - some while driving ambulances, working in hospitals and responding to emergencies; others while helping people in their own communities. We honour them and mourn alongside their families, loved ones and colleagues.

On this 8 May, we call on all those with influence and responsibility to uphold the protections that civilians, medical personnel, humanitarian workers and communities depend on. Respect for the emblems, for humanitarian rules and principles, is therefore essential."

Different landscapes. Different crises. The same human heart.

Across the world, our staff and volunteers and the people they serve are neighbors, friends, colleagues, family members.

This is what unites us. This is who we are, united in humanity. #8May

[ICRC @ICRC]

Today, we celebrate the strength of our shared humanity. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our dedicated staff and volunteers whose compassion and commitment make the world’s largest humanitarian Movement possible.

Happy World Red Cross and Red Crescent Day ♥️ #8May

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

Thank you, #Geneva, for illuminating the Jet d’Eau to mark #WorldImmunizationWeek.

The greatest gift we can offer any people at any age is protection from disease through vaccines, helping them safeguard themselves, their loved ones, and generations to come.

For every generation, vaccines work.

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

Which vaccine breakthrough did your generation pioneer?
For every generation, #VaccinesWork

Your decision makes a difference.

[UN News @UN_News_Centre]

Over the past 50 years, vaccines have saved more than 150 million lives. That’s six lives every minute, every day, for more than five decades.

[The Global Fund @GlobalFund]

With decisive action and smart investment, we can #EndMalaria.

Sustained funding & increased investment in proven interventions & innovation can get the fight against malaria back on track. We must ensure these lifesaving tools are affordable & accessible to those most at risk. #WorldMalariaDay

[The Global Fund @GlobalFund]

The United States and the @GlobalFund announced their commitment to expand access to lenacapavir, a long-acting HIV prevention tool, to reach another million people over the next three years.

Building on the original agreement, this brings the total joint commitment to 3 million people through 2028.

[(RED) @RED]

Lenacapavir, a twice-yearly injectable form of PrEP, is a game-changer in the fight against HIV, and African-led initiatives are leading the charge.

[IOC MEDIA @iocmedia]

The @WHO was among the 60+ organisations that came together at the #Olympism365 Summit: #SportForABetterWorld which resulted in a joint commitment to generate USD 200 million of investment towards building a better world through sport.

Crises today are getting more complex & lasting longer.

Humanitarian aid alone is not enough. Development must start alongside.

Writing for @wef, our @shokonoda outlines 5⃣ ways to strengthen crisis response, connecting emergency relief with resilience. https://t.co/Q5NRfxW8x6

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

Conflicts dramatically increases the risk of dying in pregnancy and childbirth.

Here’s how conflict and fragility disrupt health systems:
• It damages or destroys facilities
• Forces health workers to flee
• Interrupts supply chains
• Restricts movement and safe access to care
• Increases displacement and vulnerability

Like caring for patients in a conflict zone, development work cannot wait until a crisis has passed.

With the @GlobalFund in Sudan, we’ve provided HIV and TB medicines and test kits, equipped clinics, trained health workers and improved distribution. https://t.co/LYtsMmABZH

[Global Goals @GlobalGoalsUN]

The Sustainable Development Goals, agreed by all @UN member countries, are our blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable world.

This Valentine's Day, we can all recommit to the 17 Goals and show love to our planet and all its people. https://t.co/n5RdJ5MYVC

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

The quiet victories of international cooperation — the wars prevented, the famine averted, the vital treaties secured — do not always make the headlines.

Yet they matter.

To secure more such victories, we must fully respect international law & defend multilateralism.
