The voices of young people matter -- not only on #YouthDay, but every day. They have unique insights and play a critical role.

In my conversation with WHO Youth Council members and young people across the world, I learned a lot and enjoyed hearing and responding to the challenging questions they posed.

I'm even more committed than ever to strengthen the participation of the Youth Council - and all youth - in WHO's work. Their perspectives and energy are vital at this time of headwinds and opportunities in global health.

This #InternationalWomensDay, we’re not just talking about change—we’re making it happen! It’s time to break barriers, amplify voices, and create safe spaces where women and girls can thrive.

Let’s #AccelerateAction and push for a future where EVERY girl is empowered! #IWD2025

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

On #HumanRightsDay, @WHO's message is clear:

HEALTH IS A HUMAN RIGHT for everyone, everywhere.

There will be no peaceful and prosperous future as long if health is only a privilege for some. Countries must deliver #HealthForAll.

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

At the first in-person Global Model WHO, youth delegates urge swift action on pandemic prevention, preparedness and response, and urged Member States to successfully conclude their negotiations on a global pandemic agreement.

Global Model WHO is a realistic simulation of the World Health Assembly, the world’s peak health decision making body.

Over 350 youth delegates from 52 countries worked collaboratively to draft resolutions addressing topics incl. climate change, pollution and health, mental health, antimicrobial resistance, the Global Health and Peace Initiative, tuberculosis control, and polio eradication https://t.co/m9zMMbTZWR

So proud of Antigua and Barbuda for hosting the #SIDS4 conference 🙌🏾

looking forward to the Antigua and Barbuda Agenda for SIDS, the 10-year action plan to be agreed which will set out the sustainable development aspirations of SIDS and the support required to achieve them

[Dr Alexey Kulikov @KulikovUNIATF]

Impact of non-communicable diseases #NCDs is felt most acutely in small island developing states #SIDS.

SIDS have some of the world’s highest rates of #diabetes and #obesity, which are key risk factors for 🫀cardiovascular diseases. 

Therefore, SIDS are disproportionately affected by premature, preventable deaths due to NCDs, which in turn have a profound impact on the prevalence of #mentalhealth issues and on economic prosperity, and are a major threat to sustainable development. https://t.co/P7zjc9GVtH

[WHO FCTC @FCTCofficial]

The tobacco industry targets youth for a lifetime of profits, creating a new wave of addiction.

👉To protect our youth, we must urgently implement policies to regulate tobacco advertising, promotion & sponsorship in all media.
