It was my delight to open the ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ญ๐ฐ๐จ๐ซ๐ค ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ง๐ง๐ฎ๐๐ฅ ๐๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ข๐ง ๐๐๐ฎ๐ฃ๐ this morning, joined by esteemed health leaders dedicated to tackling child mortality across Africa. A special thank you to Professor Samba Sow @ProfessorSow, whose visionary leadership laid the foundation for REACH, and to Mr. Bill Gates @BillGates for his steadfast support through the Gates Foundation @gatesfoundation.
Established with a shared commitment to save young lives, REACH operates in six high-mortality countries, including Nigeria, deploying azithromycin to significantly reduce child mortality. This effort aligns seamlessly with President Bola Ahmed Tinubuโs @officialABAT #RenewedHope Agenda, which views health as a foundation for economic growth, and with the ๐๐ข๐ ๐๐ซ๐ข๐ ๐๐๐๐ฅ๐ญ๐ก ๐๐๐๐ญ๐จ๐ซ ๐๐๐ง๐๐ฐ๐๐ฅ ๐๐ง๐ฏ๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ญ ๐๐ง๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐ (#NHSRII). Together, these strategies aim to improve population health outcomes by strengthening primary healthcare systems and implementing impactful, community-based interventions.
In Nigeria, we are leveraging the latest scientific insights to maximize the impact of REACHโs interventions while closely monitoring antimicrobial resistance. Our collaboration across borders and languages is laying the groundwork for a resilient health framework, vital for accelerating demographic and economic transformation in the region.
Despite the complexities of our context, the presence of delegations from Mali @GouvernementM, Burkina Faso @gouvernementBF, Niger @PresidenceNiger, Sierra Leone @Presidency_SL, and Cรดte dโIvoire @Gouvci, here in Nigeria is a testament to the power of science and public health diplomacy, offering a shining example of what is possible when we unite in the interest of our people.
To all who traveled from far and near, and to the dedicated teams at the Secretariat at CVD Mali @cvdmali, thank you for your steadfast commitment. Together, we are shaping a future where every child has a chance to thrive. #REACHNetwork #NHSRII #RenewedHopeAgenda #AfricaHealth
@Arsenal Get Arterta out before itโs too late โฆ He is too arrogant in his decision making he thinks he is pep !! Why bring on Esr and Trossard at the death ! The same ego that he used to bench Martineli and Rams should be similar to Saka he is is underperforming and playing 90 mins
Arterta has always said lineups are picked based on performance - Raya has been below par for the longest time but Rams has been benched - letโs be honest for once and make the lineup merit based not a racial one
Arterta has been riding on luck and not tactics .. tactically he is a novice !! Whatโs the harm in playing 3 defenders in the absence of @Tomiyasu because itโs clear Zinchenko canโt defend ! Why is Ramsdale Benched ? Is because Raya is Spanish ?
Starting this week with such positive vibes! If you know her say hi to her, thank her for bringing such joy to this little child. May her doors in this career open wider and further.
