Do what you love - travel, food, music and art are things I love! I work in global health (polio and vaccines) @gatesfoundation - views are my own.

On World Polio Day, we celebrate innovations like nOPV2, a next-gen vaccine helping prevent outbreaks worldwide.

Thanks to @biological_e & @biofarmaID, & the commitment of governments, health workers, and families, eradicating polio is within reach. https://t.co/vRMzyJLSx9

Thank you Aidan for your support of the most vulnerable populations and dedication to the humanitarian and public health communities over the years. The polio program is grateful and was well served under your leadership.

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

I'm devastated and heartbroken at the passing of a very dear friend and colleague, Aidan O'Leary, Director of the @WHO Polio Eradication Programme.

Aidan's passing is a shock to all of us, and especially to his family and friends in his native Ireland and around the world. On behalf of WHO, I extend my deepest condolences to all of them.

Aidan was an outstanding humanitarian. He served tirelessly in the most difficult parts of the world, to help the most vulnerable populations survive and thrive, and to #EndPolio. He embodied the ideal of service and solidarity across peoples and borders.

His passing is a terrible loss for WHO, for the @UN and for all of humanity.

We will miss Aidan enormously. But we are committed to continuing his legacy to realise his vision - and ours - of a polio-free world.

Rest in peace, my dear friend.

Music, visual arts, culture, all coming together for a major cause at the Colosseum in Rome: #TimeForChange. I was lucky to be part of this event to #EndPolio and support @Rotary to eradicate polio.

[Suchita Guntakatta @SuchitaG2013]

THE @AnnieLennox performing in support of #EndPolio at the Colosseum was magical. Once again her art serves a major cause! It is #timeforchange.

Last month, polio was detected in London sewers. Today, a case of polio has been confirmed in New York.

While great progress has been made globally, we must continue to collaborate to eradicate this disease.

In many communities around the🌍, women health workers help navigate social, cultural, religious and political contexts to build strong trust in polio vaccines. The polio program’s new strategy will continue supporting the women who are central in the fight to #EndPolio #IWD2022

[Melinda French Gates @melindagates]

One of the @gatesfoundation’s top priorities is to #EndPolio—and women health workers are key to making it happen. #WorldPolioDay https://t.co/VAJFQ4Q5Jl

Remember their names.

In Nigeria, emergency operation centers that helped end wild poliovirus are also critical to the country’s Ebola and COVID-19 response. While we fight COVID-19, investing in public health and preparing for the next pandemic can help us build a better future.

.@BillGates and @MelindaGates’ 2021 Annual Letter comes after a year unlike any other. This pandemic is far from over, but they’re optimistic that on the other side is a world that is stronger, more equal, and more resilient.

Read this year’s letter. https://t.co/0PYqMbqqSy
