A great honour to meet the President of Tanzania, Her Excellency @SuluhuSamia

Let’s Talk Health!

From vaccination to mental health, NCDs to disability inclusion, we’re celebrating the power of collective action for #HealthForAll.
Maternal deaths dropped from 102 in 2022 to 76 in 2023 per 100,000 live births! Thanks to @WHO and @NorAmbTZ, 2 ambulances and 15 ultrasound machines are helping over 2,000 women in Kigoma🇹🇿.

WHO comments on United States announcement of intent to withdraw
The World Health Organization regrets the announcement that the United States of America intends to withdraw from the Organization.
WHO plays a crucial role in protecting the health and security of the world’s people, including Americans, by addressing the root causes of disease, building stronger health systems, and detecting, preventing and responding to health emergencies, including disease outbreaks, often in dangerous places where others cannot go.
The United States was a founding member of WHO in 1948 and has participated in shaping and governing WHO’s work ever since, alongside 193 other Member States, including through its active participation in the World Health Assembly and Executive Board.
For over seven decades, WHO and the USA have saved countless lives and protected Americans and all people from health threats. Together, we ended smallpox, and together we have brought polio to the brink of eradication. American institutions have contributed to and benefited from membership in WHO.
With the participation of the United States and other Member States, WHO has over the past 7 years implemented the largest set of reforms in its history, to transform our accountability, cost-effectiveness, and impact in countries. This work continues.
We hope the United States will reconsider and we look forward to engaging in constructive dialogue to maintain the partnership between the USA and WHO, for the benefit of the health and well-being of millions of people around the globe.
On his mission to Tanzania, @WHO Director-General @DrTedros met with 🇺🇳 Country Team this morning, commending their dedication to advancing health.
This comes as Tanzania confirms its first case of Marburg virus—a reminder of the need for continued vigilance and cooperation. 🤝
I briefed @UnitedNationsTZ Resident Coordinator @SusanNamondo and partners on my mission to #Tanzania amid a #Marburg virus disease outbreak.
Glad to see the @UN system's commitment to assisting the government in bringing the infectious outbreak under control.
We also discussed @WHO’s support to the continued strengthening of Tanzania’s health system and advancement of #HealthForAll.
