“Choosing to join this #TBICoalition movement was a no brainer.

This resolution is definitely needed.

There is enough will around the table. We must take this forward.”

Thank you, @HananBalkhy, for your commitment for the #TBI resolution. Over 130 organizations and 9 member states 🇵🇰🇮🇩🇹🇷🇮🇹🇬🇹🇰🇭🇸🇸🇶🇦🇹🇿are working together to put head injuries on global health agenda.🙏🙏🙏 @TBICoalition @ISGNS_ @HarvardPGSSC @WHOEMRO

At a #WHA79 side event on traumatic brain injury (TBI), I joined partners and Member States to advance a stronger global response to one of the most overlooked public health challenges of our time.

With an estimated 69 million TBIs occurring every year globally, recognizing TBI as a notifiable and chronic condition can help strengthen prevention, surveillance, emergency care, rehabilitation and long-term support, especially in fragile and conflict-affected settings.

In the Eastern Mediterranean Region, the burden is compounded by conflict and displacement, making stronger trauma systems and continuity of care an urgent priority.

I thank Pakistan for formally submitting a draft resolution recognizing TBI as a notifiable, chronic and preventable condition, and Indonesia and Türkiye for co-sponsoring this important effort toward stronger global action on TBI.

Appreciation also goes to the @TBICoalition, @theG4Alliance, the Program in Global Surgery and Social Change @HarvardPGSSC, and the International Health Systems group at the University of Cambridge @Cambridge_Uni for convening this timely dialogue and advancing momentum toward a WHA resolution that puts patients, dignity and long-term recovery at the centre of global health action.
