@Farrah_Nazir Yes I have experienced this very strongly, while working with @WHO colleagues as part of an amazing multi-sectoral group, on FBO engagement, #Covid19 responses & future pandemic preparedness. Led by @hess_se & @SallyLynnSmith, & involving @Mansoura1968, @patlakath & @winiger_uzh
@Farrah_Nazir@WHO@hess_se @SallyLynnSmith @Mansoura1968@patlakath @winiger_uzh This work, in turn, resulted in an amazing series of events that I was proud to be associated with. This body of work also allowed for full, free & fair engagement of ideas, which caused alliances for peace (& of course, better health).

On 1 February, with Boris Pavlin from @WHO I gave an update on #SARS-CoV-2 variant of concern #Omicron.
