Last month I was humbled to witness Sudan’s commitment to restoring immunisation services and protecting children in the face of conflict and the world’s largest humanitarian displacement crisis. @Gavi is intensifying efforts in fragile and conflict-affected settings because we cannot achieve equity in immunisation without reaching vulnerable children in the most complex settings.

Australia just recorded zero cervical cancer cases in women under 25 - for the first time since records began in 1982.

This is what happens when a country commits to HPV vaccination and screening. We protect our girls and save lives.

Deeply saddened to learn of death of @davidnabarro, a colleague from my UN years who advised UNSG Ban Ki-moon on how to deal with pandemics, global food insecurity, climate issues & more. David was a dedicated international public servant. His voice of reason will be missed. RIP.

Tragic to see a child die of measles in the United States—an easily preventable disease. This is the first measles death in 10 years. Let’s make it the last… #vaccineswork

It's the #BackToSchool rush for many, but in Kenya, some 5-year-olds are heading to work, not school. Let's change that. You could fill a backpack with pencils, pens and a hot meal for just £7 and help keep a child in school.👉🏽 https://t.co/Yw0vhMkVpX 🎒📚

In Pakistan colourful, ornate trucks rumbling down roads & highways is a very common sight, & a dominant part of the country’s identity. Pakistani truck art is more than just cultural expression, it’s also a deeply rooted tradition

A thread on Pakistani Truck art & its origins…

[Women In Global Health @womeninGH]

We cannot delay it any longer ⌛️

Urgent action is needed to allocate increased, dedicated funding for long-term health systems and health workforce strengthening.

We need to invest in the health workforce (70% women) to achieve #HealthForAll
