Every child in Osun State deserves protection from measles and rubella.

As the state prepares for the MR campaign, efforts are ramping up to ensure no child is missed.

With support from @WHONigeria, @NPHCDA, @Gavi and partners, Osun has strengthened planning, supervision and quality assurance across all 30 LGAs.

Nearly 2 million children are expected to be reached.

Pleased to join Ministers and partners for this urgent high-level dialogue on diphtheria in the WHO African Region.

The rise in cases of this vaccine preventable disease is a stark reminder of persistent immunity gaps.

As countries step up efforts to address these gaps, @WHO stands ready to support scaled up immunization, stronger surveillance, and coordinated action to stop diphtheria from costing more children their lives.

The emergence of a new clade of #mpox, its rapid spread in eastern #DRC, and the reporting of cases in several neighbouring countries are very worrying.

On top of outbreaks of other mpox clades in DRC and other countries in Africa, it’s clear that a coordinated international response is needed to stop these outbreaks and save lives.

“THE MIRACLE OF A BROTHER’S SONG”

Karen, mother to 3yr old son, Micheal found out she was heavy with a baby girl.

Micheal began singing to his little sister still in his mummy's "tummy" every day, it became a ritual he never missed.

He built a bond of love with his sister before he even met her.
