Mather et al. explore using genomics to understand foodborne pathogen amidst changing global food systems and environments.

[Public health vet @publichealthvet]

Great article highlighting the need to understand sociopolitical barriers and enablers for outbreak reporting at the local level (not just the technical which get a lot of focus). Timely and important given the current pandemic agreement discussions

A proud day as we formally launched the Global Field Epidemiology Partnership co-hosted with @tephinet & @CDCgov

With this initiative, we will identify gaps, leverage institutional strengths & strengthen cohesion amongst stakeholders to develop #fieldepidemiology globally

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

My warm congratulations to Dr Saia Ma’u Piukala on his election as @WHOWPRO Regional Director.

Dr Saia has earned the confidence and trust of the Member States of the region. This is a great privilege, and a very great responsibility.

I look forward to working together towards #HealthForAll. #RCM74

[Chikwe Ihekweazu @Chikwe_I]

Delighted to join the @WorldHealthSmt @EU_Health panel on collaboration within disease surveillance systems

#CollaborativeSurveillance provides us an opportunity to address our collective vulnerability through shared commitment, multidisciplinary intelligence & joint engagement
