In Benguela, integrated teams are stepping up surveillance, intensifying active case finding and refreshing their knowledge of vaccine-preventable diseases and cholera.

With effective prevention and good organization, we are ensuring readiness for outbreaks and protecting lives.

On the ground, across the country, armed with data and a commitment to action, the supervision of vaccination teams ensures that no child is left behind.

With @WHO support, regular supervision improves quality, expands coverage, and increases protection for communities.

In Huíla, we ran an awareness campaign at Schools, in partnership with the Government, the National Police, INALUD, and @UNICEFAngola.

Today, the Minister of Health and @WHO held a media briefing on the cholera in Angola: 41,008 cases and 988 deaths since 2025 demand strong collective action.

Communication, prevention, hygiene, sanitation, and access to safe water save lives. Everyone’s engagement is essential!

With @WHO support, Huíla is training focal points from new municipalities, including statisticians, to boost active case finding in the hospitals and strengthen health data quality using DHIS2 and improved information management.

Quality data saves lives.

Today on #WorldNoTobaccoDay, we Unmask the Appeal. Tobacco is engineered to attract, but it harms, addicting a generation and threatening our future.

Without healthy young people, Angola cannot thrive. Protecting health is protecting human capital.

Protect lives #StopTobacco

[OMS Angola @AngolaOms]

Today we didn’t just walk, we took a stand. Every step pushed back against tobacco, addiction, and a future at risk.

This is impact in motion: protecting our youth, shaping a healthier #Angola. It’s time to #UnmaskTheAppeal and defend the next generation.

In Huíla, with support from @Roche, training is turning theory into real results. Community agents are mobilizing communities, while health professionals strengthen skills for early breast cancer detection.

Through improved skills, teams expand coverage and drive real impact.

[OMS Angola @AngolaOms]

Strong joint commitment in Malanje with @WHO, #GPEI, and provincial leadership to drive progress: improving polio campaign quality, strengthening routine immunization, enhancing coordination with #DRC, and responding to cholera.

Now’s the time: invest, act, deliver, and protect!

[OMS Angola @AngolaOms]

In Huíla, health workers are being trained to strengthen early detection and timely diagnosis, because early action saves lives.

With support from @Roche to @WHO, a pilot project is expanding HPV screening, diagnosing breast cancer, and generating data to guide public health.

Join us on May 30 for a walk against tobacco in Angola. Together, let’s unmask its appeal and fight nicotine dependence, because every step drives change, builds resilient communities and protects health.

Health starts with awareness.

[OMS Angola @AngolaOms]

Through mud, obstacles, and nearly impassable roads, health teams keep moving because children are waiting for protection.

We all have a role to play: Take children to the nearest vaccination point. Share the message. Mobilize communities and support frontline efforts.

[OMS Angola @AngolaOms]

Angola is making progress in tobacco control: stronger policies, higher tobacco taxes, and protection for young people.
At #RodaDeSaúde, it became clear: the challenge continues. Raising taxes works, education saves lives, and early action makes a difference.

#LifeWithoutTobacco
