No better choice at this critical time for the African continent. Bravo @MichelSidibe. Your experience, commitment & dynamic leadership are what us needed to make AMA a reality.
I am very humbled to be nominated AU Special Envoy for the African Medicines Agency (AMA). COVID 19 has demonstrated that AMA is vital for Africa’s self reliance in responding to pandemics, boosting R&Dand local pharma industry. Let us make AMA a reality! https://t.co/lhgG9rjj5J

Sharing my message to @UNAIDS staff. Racism isn’t just abt police brutality, it’s the dehumanising of black people & other dark-skinned people in public & private institutions. A hierarchy of skin colour, the lighter, the more valued. Skin bleaching is a sad response to racism.
Great hearing @saralmdavis speak about her new book #TheUncounted The Politics of Global #Data,which features the work by @DevelopingNGOs & myself to ensure that no one is left behind & that we ensure that we count each person to push for policies that serve them. #humanrights
Some great end-of-week news on the science front - first in-human trial of #covid19#vaccine suggests it is safe, tolerable & provokes immune response 👏
👉Now need to redouble efforts to ensure eventual vaccine is accessible to all - #PeoplesVaccine

@maria_rendon97 Thanks for sharing. I’m an American in Geneva, Switzerland 🇨🇭 we went on lockdown, ppl respected the rules, now down to 2-3 new cases/day, starting to slowly reopen. You are welcome to come visit when we do. 😅 just thought you might like to see a picture of a sane public park

👉🏽Set out agenda to tackle pandemic
👉🏽Stand in solidarity with Africans in refusing to be sent to back of #COVID queue

It would be a huge let down, and be way out of step with public opinion in #UK & globally, if UK & US undermine efforts to establish #COVID19 patent pool & #peoplesvaccine.
👉Now’s not the time for monopolies on saving life.
