@WHO and @MinSanteRDC showing what effective partnership looks like, rapid deployment, shared coordination, frontline focus. This is the standard. Now we need to match this operational speed with resources and long-term commitment.

[WHO African Region @WHOAFRO]

Nearly 7 tonnes of emergency medical supplies and equipment along with a team of 35 experts from @WHO and @MinSanteRDC arrived today in Bunia from Kinshasa to support frontline #Ebola response in Ituri Province.

The supplies, including personal protective equipment, tents, beds and operational support items, will help scale up frontline response efforts, strengthen infection prevention and control measures, and protect communities at risk as operations intensify in affected areas.

@WHO is working closely with national authorities and partners to reinforce response operations and end the outbreak as quickly as possible.

.@WHO has published its global cholera statistics for 2024, showing an increase in both the number of people who fell sick & those who died from the disease.

Conflict, climate change, displacement & long-term WASH deficiencies continue to fuel its rise.⬇️

.@WHO and @MSF teams set up patient & health worker flow to manage movement in the #Ebola treatment centre in #Bulape health zone – one of the current outbreak epicentres in #DRC’s Kasai province.

Effective flow management is crucial to reducing virus transmission and ensuring clinical care safety.

#Congo🇨🇬 is scaling up efforts to curb the cholera outbreak, in which 243 cases have been reported.

@WHO has provided emergency supplies to support the response, including 4 cholera kits (enough to treat over 700 cases), essential medicines and a tent to set up a treatment centre.

@WHO has also facilitated the deployment of national experts to strengthen the response.

[W. Kazadi Mulombo @WMulombo]

On the 84 Multidisciplinary #AVoHC-SURGE responders trained in Nigeria and ready to be deployed within 24 to 48 hours, over 45% were female, marking a deliberate intent to assert our commitment to women empowerment and gender equality in all our operations as we roll out implementation of the SURGE Flagship roadmap in Nigeria, which includes expansion to six pilot states. Lessons learned from the first phase are now being used to inform scoping missions and step down training, a much needed milestone in a country-continent. The initiative which is contributing to the Nigeria Health Sector Renewal Investment Initiative and the Compact we signed with the Government alongside other development partners, is being spearheaded by @NCDCgov as the National Secretariat working closed with the @WHONigeria National Coordinator, making it a nationally owned endeavor and implemented with support from the Regional Office, in collaboration with @AfricaCDC and other #GHSA partners. I applaud the dedication of all our national colleagues involved, especially the leadership exemplified by our female colleagues who are playing a critical role in this initiative @UN_Nigeria @Fmohnigeria @NCDCgov @WHONigeria @DrTedros @MoetiTshidi @USAIDNigeria @USCDCNIGERIA @UKHSA @ResolveTSL @NphcdaNG @NafdacAgency @nemanigeria @nighealthwatch @NGFSecretariat

Exciting times ahead! 🌟 I’m thrilled to see #WHOEPRSURGE, marking a new chapter in health security across Africa. 🙌 Big thanks to our donors, #FCDO, #CanGive, and #BMGF, for their support in building an "army of 3000 African responders." Together, let’s push for #HealthForAll

3/ 🇱🇷🇺🇬 🇸🇱 #AVoHCSURGE experts helped restore critical services in an outbreak that heavily impacted health workers by allowing them to recover & helping safeguard patients. "We appreciate your dedication & spirit of solidarity with #Rwanda" said Health Minister @nsanzimanasabin

[Dr Matshidiso Moeti @MoetiTshidi]

Very proud of the strides we’ve made @WHOAFRO with partners to advance gender equity, progressively increasing female representation across the workforce. Investing in women’s leadership positively impacts our families, communities & the future of global health.

[Dr Matshidiso Moeti @MoetiTshidi]

Today, we opened the Women in Global Health Leadership Workshop in #AddisAbaba, in partnership with @WomenLiftHealth! Together, we are building a future where women leaders shape global health and drive positive, lasting change.

[Dr Matshidiso Moeti @MoetiTshidi]

During my visit to #Rwanda 🇷🇼 I was struck by the bravery & resilience of health workers, many of whom are survivors of the #Marburg outbreak. Robust action by the government from the highest level, while working closely with @WHO & partners, is effectively driving the response.

[Presidency | Rwanda @UrugwiroVillage]

On the sidelines of #Francophonie24 in Paris, President Kagame also met with Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros , Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO). They discussed the ongoing successful collaboration in the tracking and containment of the Marburg virus in Rwanda as well as ways to enhance disease control and prevention.

[WHO Rwanda @WHORwanda]

"Health workers are at the forefront of the #Marburg outbreak response, facing disproportionate risks. @WHO is supporting #Rwanda's response to ensure their safety & well-being. Our hearts go out to health workers & others who lost their lives." 👉@WHO Rep Dr. @BrianChirombo
