On #InternationalWomensDay, Minister @nealerichmond and I are announcing €4 million in humanitarian aid to support Afghan women, girls, and other vulnerable groups.
African Ministers of Health convened today in #Brazzaville for the 74th session of the @WHO Regional Committee for Africa, discussing health challenges.

Recently, the @NGIreland unveiled an oil portrait by Irish artist Aidan Crotty, of Mike Ryan, Executive Director, WHO Health Emergencies Programme. Great to see this well-deserved recognition of Mike from #Ireland.

If there is one thing you do today - let it be to listen to Dr Tedros (WHO Director General) who spoke the truth at a recent event last weekend in the Middle East. Proud to be a WHO staffer under such strong leadership!

@ACT4Meningitis@WHO Plan to visit the West coast of Ireland this summer- will definitely outreach beforehand to set appointment. Thank you for representing Ireland so honestly & eloquently last Friday in Paris. When communities across the globe unite towards a common cause, set goals are achieved!

@VMSportIE What an amazing performance by 8 year old Stevie! Loved the “Come on Ireland” comment at the end - and the Boys in Green sure did deliver! #IRLvITA#shouldertoshoulder#Rugby
Very good discussion with my brother @JeanKaseya2 on the ongoing #PandemicAccord negotiations and the importance of such an instrument to keep Africa and the world safe. Thanked him for his support and close @WHO-@AfricaCDC collaboration.
Last week the Government of Senegal & @WHOAFRO opened the WHO Health Emergency Hub's new premises in Diamniadio. It features a warehouse for prepositioning medical supplies/equipment & a Data Sphere specializing in data analytics/innovation. Come visit the Hub when next in Dakar
Honoured to meet with @PresidentIRL Michael Higgins today and discussed the ongoing negotiations on a #PandemicAccord and @WHO’s response in #Gaza. I thanked him for #Ireland’s strong political and financial support to @WHO, including in our efforts to prevent child stunting and promote breastfeeding. Together!
Today, I joined Presidents @PaulKagame, @NAkufoAddo, @Macky_Sall, @miaamormottley Prime Minister of #Barbados, H.E. @vonderleyen, H.E. @AUC_MoussaFaki, @ABaerbock Federal Minister of Foreign Affairs Germany, @akin_adesina@AfDB_Group, and a number of African Ministers to launch #BioNTech which is one of the most advanced manufacturing facilities in the World.
This launch is a monumental step to the achievement of the #NewPublicHealthOrder and symbolise the Africa's “second independence” through strengthening local manufacturing.
On the eve of our National Day of Reconciliation I was pleased to have a call today with His Excellency @PresidentIRL Michael Higgins of the Republic of Ireland.
We discussed our common position on many areas including the unconscionable situation and humanitarian crisis in Gaza, and especially the plight of the children of Palestine.
