This is quite timely, congratulations to #KenyaMoH

[Chikwe Ihekweazu @Chikwe_I]

Proud of #Kenya, as they launch their National Public Health Agency.

Strategic in conceptualisation, thoughtful in its design, and with technical advice from @WHO, #together, we will rewrite the narrative of emergency preparedness & control on the continent.

An excellent one. Thank you for your leadership. The next thing is to move from being vaccine recipients to vaccine manufacturers!

#Nigeria is the first country in the world to roll out a new #meningitis vaccine, Men5CV recommended by @WHO: https://t.co/u8mctQolmh

Meningitis is an old and deadly foe, but this new vaccine holds the potential to change the trajectory of the disease, preventing future outbreaks, saving many lives, and bringing us closer to our goal to eliminate meningitis by 2030.
