Africa CDC salutes H.E. Samia Suluhu Hassan (@SuluhuSamia), President of the United Republic of Tanzania, for her leadership as @_AfricanUnion Champion for Maternal and Child Health.

Under her stewardship, Tanzania cut maternal mortality by 80% in seven years, a model now guiding her Continental Roadmap for Maternal, Newborn, Child and Adolescent Health and its #ThreeZeros agenda: zero maternal deaths, zero preventable newborn deaths, zero unvaccinated children.

This is what political leadership for health looks like.

@AfricaCDC stands with President Hassan and all Member States working to make these zeros a reality by 2030.

-----

Africa CDC salue S.E. Samia Suluhu Hassan, Présidente de la République-Unie de Tanzanie, pour son leadership en tant que Championne de l’Union africaine pour la santé maternelle et infantile.

Sous son leadership, la Tanzanie a réduit la mortalité maternelle de 80 % en sept ans, un modèle qui inspire aujourd’hui sa Feuille de route continentale pour la santé maternelle, néonatale, infantile et des adolescents, ainsi que son initiative des « Trois Zéros » : zéro décès maternel, zéro décès néonatal évitable et zéro enfant non vacciné.

C’est cela, un véritable leadership politique au service de la santé. Africa CDC se tient aux côtés de la Présidente Hassan et de tous les États membres qui œuvrent pour faire de ces « Trois Zéros » une réalité d’ici à 2030.

Bonne nouvelle : en 2025, la faim dans le monde a reculé pour la troisième année consécutive.

Cependant, 645 millions de personnes souffraient encore de la faim et 2,1 milliards étaient en situation d’insécurité alimentaire.

Manger est un droit humain.

Road deaths fall by 21% globally but stronger action is needed to save lives: https://t.co/9c1bHniMko

This progress shows that change is possible when countries invest in safe road systems.

I commend countries for the strong political declaration they adopted today at the @UN High-Level meeting on Global #RoadSafety, which aims to accelerate action to ensure more roads are designed for people first, not motor vehicles, with safety as priority.

All road deaths are preventable and none are acceptable.
