Spannende dag vandaag in de Tweede Kamer: Begrotingsdebat over #BHOS, waar fors wordt bezuinigd op mondiale zorg. Een slecht plan, want investeren in wereldgezondheid is bewezen effectief én in ons eigen belang. #TweedeKamer#Begroting#MondialeGezondheid

It's unbelievable that we are here today! We thank the #COP28 Presidency for dedicating a health day for #ClimateHealth - the first ever in the history of COPs. We also appreciate the tireless efforts of the @WHO under the great leadership of @DrTedros, the health ministers and other key global health partners, in making the health day a reality ~ @daktari1@JeniMiller #COP28UAE #AmrefAtCOP28
Prioritising local production means aligning with strong health systems. In Africa, our Dutch local production initiatives are driven by community needs. Let's ensure they're context-specific and demand-driven for lasting impact - @sarah_spronk. #AmrefHealthSecurity #AmrefAtWLPF2023
We have begun our session on Strengthening Resilience and Access Through Local Health Production and Technology Transfer in Africa at the #WLPF2023 in The Hague, Netherlands.

“The recent establishment of the @Africanamata, a specialized agency of @_AfricanUnion dedicated to improving access to quality, safe and efficacious medical products in Africa stands as a testament to the collective will of the African continent," @jaqjerry. #AmrefHealthSecurity #AmrefAtWLPF2023
#COVID19 demonstrated the incredible power of vaccines, tests, treatments and other medical technologies to save lives.
But it also exposed the vast inequalities of our world, in terms of access to those products. And this was not the first time in human history.
At the World Local Production Forum, I called on government to foster an ecosystem for local production by:
1. providing an enabling environment and incentives for local production, and ensuring compliance with quality standards
2. providing investment and funding
3. facilitating the exchange of knowledge and technology between the public and private sectors
4. building the capacity of the workforce
5. ensuring market access for local manufacturers, by improving supply chain management and expanding market reach
If we can do all this, the sustainability of local production and #AccessToMedicines will be guaranteed.
