This year, countries have battled outbreaks of mpox, Marburg, cholera, dengue, avian influenza, while the climate crisis is driving their spread to new areas.

On International Day of Epidemic Preparedness, we remind all countries that shared threats demand a shared response. The only way to create a safer world is together. #PandemicAccord

That’s very reassuring to know that the fund is coming where it needed the most!

The Speaker did a good job here, given the circumstances.

It went from a bill that weighed pounds to a bill that weighed ounces.

When a disaster strikes, be it

⚕️ health emergency,
⛈️ extreme weather event,
🌪️ disaster from natural hazard,

there is often a disproportionate impact on the health and well-being of children and youth. WHO urges countries to adopt a child-friendly approach when building policies for preparedness, response and recovery. Learn more:🔗 https://t.co/RVBgbrBNk5 #DRRday

A most asked question is answered.
#Mpox

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

WHO has declared the current #mpox outbreak a public health emergency of international concern.

- How is this outbreak different from previous ones and - why did it trigger a public health emergency?
- What does that mean for countries and for you?
- Who is at risk?
- What about vaccines?

Dr Abdou Salam Gueye from WHO Brazzaville in the Republic of Congo, explains in the latest episode of Science in 5 👇

Great efforts by Cambodia, in advancing risk informed health actions to reduce the risk of health emergencies & disasters; having 40 experts from across sectors to map the likelihood and potential impacts of all hazards risks in the country moves this agenda one more step further

Since 2023, Cambodia 🇰🇭 has faced multiple health-related events, including #AvianInfluenza, #mpox, dengue, methanol poisoning, and floods.

When risks associated with disasters are not effectively managed, they can result in preventable injury and loss of life.

Today is about “#women, their challenges, struggles, achievements & rights to equality… as housewife, caregiver, leader or intern; they are the fabric of all works of life, across societies, across geographies.” @ChungongStella inspires @WHO #IWD2024 #InvestInWomen @DrTedros

[Chungong Stella @ChungongStella]

Investing in women, inspiring inclusion, is of essence. It's about walking the talk & means investing in women as a human right, gender-responsive financing, supporting their leadership & women-led organizations. The @WHO WHE Gender Working Group calls for these investments #IWD
