I met with health workers and families facing the devastating realities of climate shocks in Afar. Their daily reality is so different to mine but their hopes are the same. Parents want their children to be safe and able to thrive.
Powerful discussions at @WHOAFRO
Time now to focus on action - and meet the pledge of “90% actions 10% meetings” to unleash the power of African nations to achieve Health Goals
So pleased that @kirstyjmcneill could witness some of the powerful ways @UKinEthiopia partners with 🇪🇹 to improve the health and wellbeing of women, girls & communities at risk
From vaccines & nutrition to reproductive health services and support for survivors of violence, the UK is partnering with 🇪🇹 to ensure no one is left behind.
In #Afar, @kirstyjmcneill saw how this partnership is helping women & children affected by El Niño. 🇬🇧🇪🇹

Many thanks to the United States for committing vital funding to support our mission to save lives with safe and effective vaccines. The United States’ long-standing partnership with Gavi has been pivotal to our work since 2000 immunising over 1.2 billion children: this funding will boost our collective global defences against deadly diseases, helping to build a safer, healthier, more prosperous world for all of us: https://t.co/mfsBS5XlkF

Great to visit @SPHMMC_Official today to see how the 🇬🇧 🇪🇹 health partnership is delivering joined-up health services for women and girls.
And fantastic to visit with the winners of @UKinEthiopia’s #AmbassadorForADay competition, inspiring #GirlsLeadership.
Really proud to be appointed as Minister of State at @FCDOGovUK at such a crucial moment.
From Make Poverty History to Save the Children, I've spent my career working on global challenges and am excited to work with Ed, this team and our partners around the world.
We hosted FCDO’s DG Global Issues Melinda Bohannon last week - with a strong focus on our partnership with the 🇪🇹 Government on economic transformation 📈 supporting Women and Girls 👭and huge opportunities around COP32 🌍
Fascinating discussions, exciting work ahead… 🇬🇧 🇪🇹
Cervical cancer is highly preventable. Yet limited access to prevention, screening and treatment causes 90% of deaths in low- and middle-income countries.
During my recent visit to Zimbabwe, @WHO handed over cervical cancer screening equipment to improve diagnosis. When detected early, women have a better chance of treatment and cure.
Delighted to welcome colleagues & friends from @gavi, @GlobalFund, @FMoHealth & elsewhere to @UKinEthiopia
Coordination between 🇪🇹 & 🌐health partners is building a stronger health system and ensures investments are coordinated and impactful: a model for elsewhere #LusakaAgenda

Warm congratulations @MekdesDaba, Minister of Health @FMoHealth, on your appointment as Co-Chair of the @Pandemic_Fund.
At a time when global solidarity and sustained investment in preparedness are more important than ever, your appointment is a strong recognition of Africa’s leadership in advancing health security.
WHO remains committed to working with partners to strengthen preparedness and better protect populations from future health threats.
