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.
