Thank you @hans_kluge for your support and leadership. Congratulations on your re- election. @rki_de is proud to support #EMTs in Germany, the Region and Globally. Looking forward to EMT Regional Action Plan Adoption today #RC74CPH @BMG_Bund

[Hans Kluge @hans_kluge]

Thank you, Prof. Johanna Hanefeld, co-Chair of the Global EMT Strategic Advisory Group, for your leadership driving the EMT Initiative and your dedication to advancing the EMT Regional Action Plan (RAP) 2024–2030.

This plan is in line with our Joint Declaration to boost strategic partnerships for resilient health systems and stronger emergency responses in Europe - building on #COVID_19 lessons.

Happy to see the EMT RAP 2030 as a flagship under the upcoming Preparedness2.0 strategy, paving the way for a modern & robust emergency response framework.

Thank you @Chikwe_I @WHO for your partnership. Crucial shared activities with @AfricaCDC @JeanKaseya2 strengthening NPHIs worldwide. Wonderful to see colleagues here in Berlin @IANPHIhealth @rki_de

[Chikwe Ihekweazu @Chikwe_I]

It was great to host @AfricaCDC colleagues participating in @rki_de's 'Developing Global Public Health Leadership' programme at the @WHO Hub in Berlin

Insightful discussion on the importance of public health intelligence and #CollaborativeSurveillance in Africa #GlobalHealth

[Hans Kluge @hans_kluge]

My thanks to our partners at @ECDC_EU - under the leadership of Director Dr Pamela @rendiwagner - and Sweden's @Folkhalsomynd for today's deliberations on the #mpox scenario in the @WHO_Europe Region, within the wider context of the mpox challenge globally.

The European Region was the initial epicentre of the 2022 mpox clade II outbreak - focused primarily in men who have sex with men.

Today's scenario involving the ongoing mpox clade I outbreak in several African countries - with one confirmed clade Ib case reported in Sweden linked to travel to East-Central Africa - is a reminder that a public health threat in one part of the world can impact regions well beyond.

That our world is interconnected - a lesson learnt during #COVID19 in no uncertain terms.

That collaboration across countries and regions, across agencies and institutions, is critical in tackling the challenges we have in common.

That surveillance must be robust, diagnostics must be top-notch, and access to prevention and treatment unfettered.

That there's no room whatsoever for stigma and discrimination targeting infected or impacted individuals and communities. Rather, we must foster an environment imbued with equity and dignity for all.

Thanks for being a great discussant @marinajk

Humbled by testimonies of Emergency Medical Teams today. Proud to be supporting this work @rki_de. Looking forward to discussions tomorrow on how we can develop further. Thank you @DrTedros @WHO for your support today and always.

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

Emergency Medical Teams (EMT) represent the best of us, at the worst of times.

They are a vital pillar in the Global Health Emergency Corps. Last year, the EMT Initiative supported the response to many health emergencies, including the conflicts in Gaza and Ukraine, earthquakes in Syria, Türkiye and Morocco, floods in Libya and Malawi, the cyclone and cholera outbreak in Malawi, a mass casualty incident in Armenia, and the complex humanitarian emergency in Sudan, with refugees in Chad and Ethiopia.

The ability to deploy at a moment’s notice comes from years of preparation.

Globally, @WHO has classified 40 teams from 24 countries, comprising more than 25,000 professionals. We are now in the process of verifying a further 112 teams from 57 countries.

Thank you all once again for your support and solidarity, and for the hope that you provide in some of the most hopeless situations.

[Tolib Mirzoev @TMirzoev]

Congrats @DinaBalabanova, looking forward to it!

[Hans Kluge @hans_kluge]

Our colleague Jukka Pukilla - taken from the world far too soon - symbolized @WHO at its finest.

His humanitarian legacy will endure and continue to inspire all those fortunate enough to have known him.

From all of us at @WHO_Europe, our gratitude to Jukka - and our love.
