Sir @davidnabarro was a great nutrition champion, a major inspiration to us all and tireless advocate for global development. It was my honour to meet him. A real loss for the nutrition community-he was an unshakeable trailblazer. My deepest sympathies. 🕊️
We mourn the loss of Dr @davidnabarro — a tireless advocate for #nutrition, equity & dignity, and the first @SUN_Movement Coordinator.
His legacy lives on.

Last night I hosted a discussion on sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) alongside @PlanGlobal and youth advocates.
I was delighted to announce my new role as a #SheDecides champion. We must keep working together to make sure everyone has power over their own bodies.

Universal health coverage is fundamental for better health and wellbeing, as well as thriving societies and economies.
Global progress on universal health coverage is stalling- we must all work to ensure no-one is left behind.

We’re moving in the right direction, but must speed up our efforts to make nutritious foods accessible for all to create a world free from hunger and malnutrition.
I welcome the ATNI Global Nutrition Index.
This tool is vital as we look to #N4GParis.

On #WorldAIDSDay2024 we’re tackling attempts to undermine sexual health rights.
This week the Prime Minister announced new support, including for @RobertCarrFund, to advocate for the rights of people facing barriers accessing HIV services.
Together we can #endAIDS.

mpox is first disease 🇺🇳 @WHO has classified a Public Health Emergency of International Concern since Covid
🇬🇧 @FCDOGovUK is helping tackle mpox in DRC & Africa through bilateral support & by funding action by 🇺🇳 @WHO, @gavi & 🇺🇳 @UNICEF
@UKinDRC @UKMissionGeneva
The WHO Director-General, agreeing with the advice of the IHR Emergency Committee, has determined that the upsurge of #mpox continues to constitute a public health emergency of international concern.
The decision was based on the rising number and continuing geographic spread of cases, operational challenges in the field, and the need to mount and sustain a cohesive response across countries and partners.
A report of the meeting, including Temporary Recommendations issued by the Director-General, @DrTedros, to IHR States Parties, will be issued next week.
The upsurge of mpox in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and its spread to neighbouring countries was first declared a public health emergency of international concern by the Director-General on 14 August 2024.
