[Dr Jean Kaseya @Dr_JeanKaseya]

I am thrilled that @AfricaCDC together with @WHO and the Member States at #CPHIA2023 have launched the strategic plan to strengthen Public Health Emergency Operations Centres #PHEOC. This is in pursuit of our shared commitment to establish a minimum of 90% coverage of operational #PHEOCs in Member States within Africa and the Eastern Mediterranean Region. We also had engagements on the Joint Emergency Preparedness and Response Action Plan #JEAP which will unite all Member States on the continent in their response to emergencies. #BreakingBarriers.

[Dr Matshidiso Moeti @MoetiTshidi]

At #CPHIA2023 I spoke about the importance of women’s representation in leadership positions in #Africa and globally. Women play a critical role in all stages of life to ensure the #health of our populations and carry the burden of most of the unpaid care and domestic work.

People with albinism continue to suffer serious human rights violations and are the targets of stigma, discrimination & violence.

On #AlbinismDay and every day, people with albinism have my full solidarity. I call on countries to ensure that their rights are respected.

Opinion: Invest in Africa’s food systems to avoid future crisis, by @monicamusonda. Local food processors have a big role to play in global #foodsecurity. Investing in them can better feed the world and mitigate food shocks from #climatechange & conflict https://t.co/sI2CwHCvqc

When #adolescentgirls fall pregnant, they drop out of school, this reduces the opportunities to actualize their full potential. Here is how @UKinZambia, @UNFPAZambia & its partners are reclaiming the potential and dignity of adolescent girls in Zambia. https://t.co/JGUP04FK3E

[Nicholas Woolley @nkwoolley]

It's been the privilege of my 2.5 years in Zambia to have had the opportunity to spend time with RB and his family.

Always warmth, a smile, a helping hand whatever the circumstances. His life touched so many.

Zambia has lost a true statesman. The UK has lost a true friend.
