Deeply honoured and humbled to be awarded an honorary degree by the @UofGlasgow – a university with such a rich heritage, including in science and medicine.

I accepted it proudly, not only on my own behalf, but also on behalf of my family, the incredible @WHO people I am privileged to call my colleagues – people like Dima Alhaj, who work around the world every day, sometimes in very difficult and dangerous situations – to make it a healthier, safer and fairer place.

Glasgow University's gloriously Gothic Gilbert Scott building, which opened in 1870, is now not only one of the architectural gems of the city's West End, but also its most notable feature, with its tall, distinctive tower being visible throughout the area.

This incredible photo shows the laying of the Gilbert Scott foundation stone on our @UofGlasgow Gilmorehill campus on 8th October 1868.

It is thought that the sapling tree in the first photo is the same tree standing in the quads today!😍
