#Obesity could increase the risk of diseases. Make lifestyle choices to #BeatNCDs:

✔️ limit total fat intake, free sugars & salt 🚫
✔️ increase intake of fruit, vegetables & legumes 🍊
✔️ Stay physically active 🧘🏿‍♀️

Before I left #Mozambique, I met with the whole @OMSMocambique team, incl. staff association representative Faquir Calo, to discuss how we can support them more in their work. I’m impressed by their dedication and impact they are making in the lives of Mozambicans. #ProudToBeWHO

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

Just visited community health workers Lise Chongo and Manuense Rodrigues Machava in a rural community of #Mozambique - Manguisa. Lise is still studying to be a nurse one day, while Manuense has worked for 43 years in the Boane health centre.

They shared some of their work challenges, including low pay. I thanked them for their hard work and reassured them that @WHO is working with the 🇲🇿 government to improve support for all health workers.

A new life is a blessing. Touched by the opportunity to meet Fatima Maria Safo and her newborn baby at the Boane health centre.

The centre is not equipped with the best neonatal care. @WHO will support to improve the care so that all babies get a healthy start to life. #HealthForAll

Digital Health at #CIIISS #Mozambique

Connectivity and infrastructure is basic to expand digital health technologies. Only 20% of the country has strong internet access.

"Mozambique is among the countries with the fastest progress in reducing the shortage of health workforce, but also among the countries with the highest relative shortages". @OMSMocambique #HealthForAll

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

I commend #Mozambique for the progress made towards #HealthForAll, esp. for the "One District; One Hospital” initiative to rehabilitate health facilities and equipment, and expand the health workforce. @WHO will continue mobilising support for the initiative. Together!

Met with President Filipe Nyusi, to discuss #Mozambique’s investment needs for the “One District, One Hospital” initiative alongside primary health care units through the new Health Impact Investment Platform.

We agreed that more investment in health is needed after #COVID19.

Hefty excise taxes on cigarettes can reduce smoking. Mozambique has one of the lowest tobacco taxes in the region. @Varnalda, @georginabonet @Z_Chisha of @Tobaccoecon and @WHO argue for higher taxes to improve health. https://t.co/TY6ffomDAv @SALDRU1 @MurrayLeibbrand

#Togo’s lead in the fight against #NTDs is exemplary! Honoured to present this distinction. 🇹🇬 has eliminated 4 NTDs, becoming the 1st in the world to be validated by WHO for doing so. Thank you for showing it's possible – we look forward to full success in the fight against NTDs

One thing that very few people have pointed out about Ukraine is how its state has continued to provide essential services even under severe disruptions created by Russia's invasion — and even more, how quickly it has adapted to this new reality. A couple of examples.
