Vaccines saved more than 50 million lives in Africa over 50 years, research shows.

Critics hail ‘half a century of momentum’ and vow to expand services to meet the growing threat from other diseases.

Why the fight against malaria is having a ‘Red Queen’ moment.

Scientists working to eradicate malaria face three threats to progression: stealth parasites, super mosquitoes and mounting resistance.

A full military incursion into Rafah will plunge the crisis into unprecedented levels of humanitarian need. A ceasefire is urgently needed for the sake of humanity. #Gaza

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

Emergency Medical Teams (EMT) represent the best of us, at the worst of times.

They are a vital pillar in the Global Health Emergency Corps. Last year, the EMT Initiative supported the response to many health emergencies, including the conflicts in Gaza and Ukraine, earthquakes in Syria, Türkiye and Morocco, floods in Libya and Malawi, the cyclone and cholera outbreak in Malawi, a mass casualty incident in Armenia, and the complex humanitarian emergency in Sudan, with refugees in Chad and Ethiopia.

The ability to deploy at a moment’s notice comes from years of preparation.

Globally, @WHO has classified 40 teams from 24 countries, comprising more than 25,000 professionals. We are now in the process of verifying a further 112 teams from 57 countries.

Thank you all once again for your support and solidarity, and for the hope that you provide in some of the most hopeless situations.

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

.@WHO has led a second @UN and @PalestineRCS mission to Al-Shifa Hospital in #Gaza today, under extremely intense and high-risk security conditions.

31 very sick babies were evacuated, along with 6 health workers and 10 staff family members.

6 Palestine Red Crescent ambulances were used for the transfer. The babies were taken to Al-Helal Al-Emairati Maternity Hospital, where they are receiving urgent care in the neonatal intensive care unit.

Further missions are being planned to urgently transport remaining patients and health staff out of Al-Shifa Hospital, pending guarantees of safe passage by parties to the conflict.

We’re deeply moved and impressed by the extraordinary bravery and service of the health workers in Gaza, who continue to serve under the most dire and difficult circumstances.

We are grateful for the collaboration with Palestine Red Crescent, UN, and other partners.
