Dr Tore Godal from #Norway🇳🇴 is honored with 2026 Director-General's Awards for Global Health at #WHA79 for his outstanding contributions to global health.

His leadership in immunization and infectious diseases has helped transform scientific research into life-saving public health action, advancing the fight against neglected tropical diseases, leprosy and malaria, while expanding access to vaccines worldwide.

From helping drive community-based river blindness control efforts to helping establish and shape major global health initiatives including Roll Back Malaria, @gavi and @CEPIvaccines, his work has had a profound and lasting global impact.

Congratulations to Norway for banning the marketing of unhealthy foods and drinks to children – a timely move to protect the next generation.

This action responds to a real public health challenge: more than 1 in 5 school-aged children in Norway are living with overweight or obesity, while 8 in 10 food and drink ads aimed at children promote unhealthy nutrition.

Norway’s step shows that governments can act decisively to protect children’s health, and I hope this example encourages other countries across our Region to follow suit.

Pandemic preparedness becomes stronger when science, innovation and cross-border cooperation come together.

During the Belgian State Visit to Norway, I was pleased to join Minister-President of Flanders @MDiependaele at @Oslounivsykehus – for a seminar and demonstration on Belgium–Norway cooperation in vaccine research, infectious disease control, and high-level isolation capacity.

It was especially valuable to see 🇧🇪 leading experts, including Pierre Van Damme of the University of Antwerp and Erika Vlieghe of Antwerp University Hospital, contribute to this exchange.

From vaccination strategies and ecological risks to the safe transport of patients with highly infectious diseases, this exchange highlighted how research, coordination and operational readiness come together in preparing for future health threats.

Norway is extending the cooperation with the EU on medical air transport of Ukrainian patients for treatment at hospitals in Norway and across Europe until the end of 2027🏥🤝

Important exchange with 🇳🇴 Health Minister Jan Christian Vestre. Cross-border mobility of healthcare professionals is vital for well-functioning health systems; and it must be built on trust, so patients know they are always in good hands.
