We need #UHC that is publicly funded. Private funding exacerbates an unequal system where wealthier clients get 1st-class care, while low-income patients face abusive debt-collection tactics or denial of life-saving care altogether.

Delighted to have been in the room for Prof. Brian Greenwood’s retirement lecture this week @LSHTM_malaria

What a life and career, with his role in advancing the cause of seasonal malaria chemoprevention enormous amongst so many other achievements! @SMCAlliance

Awful news. RIP.

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

Shocked and deeply saddened to learn about the sudden passing of Dr Faustine Ndugulile, @WHOAFRO Regional Director-elect.

My heartfelt condolences to his family and friends, and the parliament and people of #Tanzania.

IPPS acknowledges @DrTedros's decision to maintain the PHEIC status for #mpox.

This decision underscores the ongoing challenges posed by the outbreak, including the limited development of diagnostics, therapeutics, & vaccines (DTVs) for response during the first 100 days.

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

The Emergency Committee for #mpox met today and advised me that the upsurge of mpox continues to constitute a public health emergency of international concern — I have accepted that advice.

My decision is based on the rising number and continuing geographic spread of cases, operational challenges in the field, and the need to mount and sustain a cohesive response across countries and partners.

I call on the affected countries to scale up their responses and for solidarity from the international community to help us end the outbreaks.

Day 100 of the #mpox emergency🚨

In an op-ed for The Guardian, IPPS Chair Dr Mona Nemer reflects on the progress making diagnostics, therapeutics & vaccines available to respond to mpox over the past 100 days

@lolashoneyin It looks great! Congrats!

Better just to do a job that combines comms and policy 😎

[Malaria Consortium @FightingMalaria]

Our seasonal malaria chemoprevention work and our @NIHRresearch funded FORECAST project — which intends to create an early warning system to prepare for and control mosquito-borne disease outbreaks due to extreme weather in #Uganda — were featured in the new MESA newsletter🎉

[Anneliese Dodds @AnnelieseDodds]

Brilliant @uniofoxford science expertise, Indian manufacturing @seruminstindia and immunisation work @gavi.

The result? A new malaria R21 vaccine rolled out in Côte d’Ivoire today that could save millions of lives.

That’s what international partnership delivers.
