The #MentalHealth intercountry meeting for the East and Southern African subregion has ended in #Johannesburg.
I am encouraged by the commitment of experts to address the immense burden Africans face from mental health conditions.
​@WHOAFRO will continue to work with partners and countries to advance the regional mental health strategy and ensure that people living with mental health conditions receive the care and dignity they deserve.

Through the Women’s Integrated Cancer Services (#WICS), Côte d’Ivoire 🇨🇮 is improving access to integrated cancer and NCD services for women.

Thousands of women are now being screened for cervical and breast cancer, and receive checks for diabetes and hypertension, as well as mental health support - all in one visit. More 👇🏽

[Dr Benido Impouma @DrBenido]

In Africa, #ProstateCancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in men.

This Men’s Health Awareness Month, let’s learn the signs, share the facts and encourage men in our communities to get screened.

Early detection is key!

[WHO African Region @WHOAFRO]

To wrap up #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth, @WHOAFRO held an interactive session with staff on prevention and early detection. The event marked the close of a month-long campaign, fostering an inclusive and supportive work environment that reinforces care at every step of the cancer journey.

@WHOAFRO remains committed to the Global Breast Cancer Initiative and to promoting women’s health across Africa.

João Mindo’s journey to healing began not in a distant hospital, but in a clinic near home.
For three years, his condition went undiagnosed—until a #PENPlus clinic in rural Mozambique identified rheumatic heart disease.
After surgery in Maputo, João (pictured below with his older brother, Lazaro) now receives regular care close to his community.
For many like João, PEN-Plus clinics are a lifeline—offering a second chance to breathe, move and thrive.

At #UNGA80, I joined @NCDIpoverty to celebrate 5 years of progress, proof that when leadership, resources and partnerships align, transformation is possible.

@WHOAFRO deeply values this partnership, which has been central to advancing the #PENPlus vision across Africa. We reaffirm our commitment to scale up PEN-Plus so no family is left behind.

Suicide is the third leading cause of death globally among 15–29-year-olds.

Parents and caregivers play a vital role in providing emotional and social support for young people.

Start the conversation. 💛

#PENPlus is one of the surest paths to achieving the SDG target of reducing premature deaths from #NCDs.

Scaling up this lifesaving strategy—is key to ensuring no one is left behind.

[Dr Benido Impouma @DrBenido]

Mulikat Okanlawon from Nigeria survived #noma—a devastating disease that destroys facial tissue and bone, killing up to 90% of those untreated. Even though she didn’t receive timely care, Mulikat survived and rebuilt her life after surgery.

At #RC75 today, I presented the Regional Framework for Accelerating the Global Oral Health Action Plan to Member States.
With @WHO and #partners, we’re training health workers to detect and treat noma and other oral health conditions that affect 42% of our region’s population.

This framework offers a bold path forward: transforming oral health, implementing global goals, and strengthening systems to ensure no one suffers in silence.

The time for action is now!

Breast and cervical cancers are among the leading causes of cancer-related deaths in women in sub-Saharan Africa.

Tomorrow at #RC75AFRO, health leaders and partners will discuss scaling up integrated #NCD models to address cancers affecting women across the Region.

One year since @WHO declared #mpox a #PHEIC, African countries have scaled up response to end the outbreak.
Coordinated action between governments, WHO, @AfricaCDC, communities & partners has strengthened surveillance, expanded vaccination & improved care. https://t.co/TwuEbh1bQ5
