Last year, more than 200 million additional people were able to afford a healthy diet compared with 2021: https://t.co/2KB9DZgFaN

This is good news, but it’s just a fraction of what is needed, as nearly 2.7 billion people still struggle to afford the minimum diet needed for good health.

Healthy diets should not be a luxury. They are the foundation of health. And they should be within everyone's reach.

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

In a turbulent world of increasing division, we can all agree that everyone who sets out on a journey, to work, to school, to see the people they love, should reach their destination safely.

I call on world leaders to ensure yesterday’s @UN declaration on #RoadSafety becomes more than words on a page.

Let it be a promise to every family who was not in the General Assembly Hall, but who lives every day with the loss of a loved one.

We can halve road deaths by 2030. Let’s keep that promise—for them.

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

Road deaths fall by 21% globally but stronger action is needed to save lives: https://t.co/9c1bHniMko

This progress shows that change is possible when countries invest in safe road systems.

I commend countries for the strong political declaration they adopted today at the @UN High-Level meeting on Global #RoadSafety, which aims to accelerate action to ensure more roads are designed for people first, not motor vehicles, with safety as priority.

All road deaths are preventable and none are acceptable.

Today @UN Economic and Social Council at its 39th plenary meeting considers the report by the @WHO Director-General @DrTedros on the work of the UN Inter-Agency Task Force on the Prevention and Control of Noncommunicable Diseases @un_ncd and mental health.

A new study in @TheLancetPH confirms the downward trend in global road fatalities.

Yet as @WHO Chief @DrTedros notes, the world must 'double-down on delivery' to halve deaths by 2030.

The time for talk is over says @DrTedros at opening of UNGA HLM on Road Safety
It’s time to deliver: laws & enforcement, safe infrastructure & vehicles, better trauma care & a shift from a transport system for cars to one for people
In our divided world, this we can all agree on

.@JeanTodt got me safely to the @UN. Mission accomplished.

Now it's time for the real mission. World leaders are gathering for the High-Level Meeting on Global #RoadSafety to make new commitments that will save lives on the world's roads.

@WHO stands ready to support them, so everyone can reach their destination safely.

Thanks for the virtual ride, Jean!

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

Everyone who sets out on a journey deserves to arrive safely.

Yet every minute, more than two people lose their lives on the world’s roads.

My friend @JeanTodt and I have arrived in New York for the UN High Level Meeting on #RoadSafety with one message for world leaders: invest in safer road systems now. Lives depend on it

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

Congratulations, Prime Minister @andyburnham.

The #FIFAWorldCup reminds us that sport can change lives.

@WHO recommends that children and adolescents get at least 60 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity every day.

If we can inspire every young person to move more, play more and live healthier, we all win.

#HealthForAll means health for all. Not for some. Not for most.

That is @WHO's mission. It is also part of Madiba's enduring legacy: that human rights, including the right to health, belong to everyone, regardless of income.

On #MandelaDay , I call on world leaders to turn that promise into reality: health for all.
