Health has become a matter of economic stability, competitiveness & security.
Global health challenges demand coordination & collective action.
We work hard to align domestic priorities with global commitments.

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

Excellent news from Geneva, where a first consensus on the Pandemic Agreement was reached last night.

We have learnt the lessons of COVID.

To beat a pandemic, you need tests, treatments and vaccines.

And you equally need solidarity and global cooperation.

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

Vaccines save lives.

@gavi makes them accessible to all.

And it empowers countries around the globe to produce their own.

The EU will be proud to co-host Gavi’s High-Level Pledging Summit in Brussels on 19-20 March.

[EU Trade 🇪🇺 @Trade_EU]

We have a deal: the EU-Mercosur partnership agreement is moving forward🇪🇺🇦🇷🇧🇷🇵🇾🇺🇾

The deal will deepen political and economic ties and create stronger trade and sustainability commitments with the world’s fifth-largest economy outside the EU.

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

We expect the first delivery of #mpox vaccines to arrive in #DRC tomorrow, donated by the @EU_Commission’s Health Emergency Preparedness and Response Authority.

I thank the European Union for its donation, and we call on countries with stockpiles of vaccines to work with us and our partners to get those vaccines to where they are needed now.

[Irene Norstedt @IreneNorstedt]

#Inclusivity is always the keyword.

No-one should be left out when it comes to understand the impact of variants such as #mpox.

Check out the work of the VERDI project on children & pregnant women 👇

[Stella Kyriakides @SKyriakidesEU]

I have written to 🇪🇺 Health Ministers regarding plans to donate #mpox vaccines & therapeutics.

➡️🌍 solidarity is key to facing global health threats.

We count on Member States to support our African partners in managing the outbreak.

@EU_Commission stands ready to coordinate.

[Stella Kyriakides @SKyriakidesEU]

The EU 🇪🇺 is stepping up action to support a united response at all levels as @WHO declares the #mpox outbreak in Africa a health emergency of international concern.

Health threats that know no borders need strong partnerships.

[Stella Kyriakides @SKyriakidesEU]

Following the declaration of the #mpox outbreak as a health emergency in Africa, the EU 🇪🇺 will monitor very closely the situation on the ground and provide support to @AfricaCDC and affected countries, in the spirit of global solidarity and cooperation.
