🎤 Last week, Tanya caught up with @gavi CEO, Dr Sania Nishtar to discuss how we reform global health architecture, and to ask forn her three recommendations to the new Foreign Secretary, Ed Miliband.
Here's what she had to say!
Nos #ONEActivists avec Dr @SaniaNishtar, Directrice générale de @gavi, l’Alliance du vaccin.
Depuis 2000, Gavi a contribué à vacciner 1,3 milliard d’enfants à travers le monde. 💉
Continuons à protéger les enfants ! #PPF2026
This year, more than 157,000 children and women accessed quality primary healthcare services in the Rohingya refugee camps.
Thanks to @gavi, essential healthcare is reaching the last mile of the Rohingya camps, bringing lifesaving care closer to the children and women. 🩺
Since 2009, Gavi-supported pneumococcal vaccination programmes have reached more than half a billion children and helped avert over 1.5 million deaths.
This #WorldPneumoniaDay, let's look at the progress made and what comes next.
Vaccines do not exist in a social vacuum. Neither do decisions about them.
In Bangladesh, research into HPV vaccination shows how trust, culture and social context can shape whether families feel confident saying yes.

In southern Yemen, where years of conflict have disrupted access to essential health services, a major vaccination campaign is off to a promising start.
Over 126,000 children were vaccinated against measles and rubella on the first day alone, and over 107,000 received vitamin A supplements.
These are just preliminary figures, with only 16% of vaccination teams reporting so far, and the campaign continues across the region until 11 November. Every child vaccinated is another child better protected against preventable disease.
As #COP31 gets underway, a new report from The Lancet warns that climate change is a global health emergency.
In 2023 alone, extreme heat was linked to a record 710,000 deaths.
But the risks go far beyond heat. Climate change is also changing where infectious diseases spread, increasing the risk of outbreaks and making it harder for communities to access essential health services, including vaccination, making strong immunisation systems more important than ever.
