Every blood donation reflects the essence of our common humanity, solidarity, compassion and care for one another. It gives more than a medical resource. It gives hope, dignity and the promise of a healthier future for all.
Today, we pay tribute to all voluntary, unpaid blood donors. Your generosity saves lives and strengthens communities.
One drop of humanity can save a life.
Every drop of blood has the power to save a life. 🩸
From emergency care to cancer treatment, millions depend on the kindness of strangers. Watch @UN Resident Coordinator a.i. @FatmataLSesay's message and join the movement to give hope and save lives.

A historic milestone in the fight against #Chikungunya!
Today, we proudly hosted the official launch of the ACT-CHIK Project (Accelerating #Chikungunya Vaccine Development in Africa). Over the next three days, partners from across the globe will explore strategies to advance clinical trials and lay the groundwork for chikungunya vaccine manufacturing in Africa.
Led by the Institut Pasteur and funded by the Global Health EDCTP3, the four-year initiative unites seven partners from #Rwanda, #France, #Senegal, #Brazil, #Nigeria, #Kenya, and #SouthKorea.
Clinical trials will be conducted in #Rwanda, #Kenya, #Nigeria, and #Senegal, generating critical evidence to accelerate vaccine development for African populations, including younger age groups.
