#Mpox is a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. Africa needs support in testing, diagnosing, and controlling its spread. We must share data, ensure equitable access to vaccines, and stick to the science. Watch my interview on common concerns and travel! @AJEnglish
Today the WHO visited Benguela General Hospital and met with the Vice-Governor. Impressed by the work of the health professionals and the integration of the students from Katyavala Bwila University, we highlight the government's dedication to guaranteeing #HealthForAll
This is great and well done!
A lie can travel halfway around the world while truth is still putting on its shoes.
Dr Wahome Ngari is a known anti-vaxxer and in a free world, he is entitled to his opinion at the risk of putting millions at risk which is why Goverment leadership is crucial and thanks to @MinofHealthUG@JaneRuth_Aceng
Disinformation erodes trust in public health & puts lives in danger. I welcome @MinofHealthUG's statement debunking misleading claims on vaccines & health issues.
Let's all promote access to credible information for better health decisions.
