Infectious diseases are a global threat.
With support from the @GlobalFund, DRC’s early alert room is strengthening disease surveillance. Over 250 health districts now share data digitally, enabling faster responses & better protection against disease.
Together, we can achieve #HealthForAll.

First, pharma co's use public money to develop their products.
They use the research that govts invest in their universities.
Then they test their products on pple in developing countries—but then don't enable access to the medicines there.
This is wrong!

Lenacapavir is a miracle drug. We need @GileadSciences to go faster, to license it in more low- & middle-income countries, to ensure this breakthrough HIV prevention medicine can reach everyone who needs it!

The global gag rule disrupts lifesaving health services, limits access to care, & silences advocacy efforts worldwide.
It’s time to permanently end this harmful policy and safeguard the health, rights, & dignity of communities everywhere.

⚠️Trump’s withdrawal from WHO is unlawful until is is approved by Congress.
The U.S. entered WHO membership through a 1948 joint resolution passed by both houses of Congress. Former President Harry Truman explicitly referenced that resolution as his legal basis for joining WHO. The Trump WH’s unilateral action notifying the UN that the USA is withdrawing violates US law because it does not have express approval of Congress to leave WHO.

Detaining patients over unpaid bills is a dehumanizing and abusive practice I’ve long highlighted. @business's latest laest investigation reaffirms how patients are detained and denied care at hospitals funded by @WorldBankAfrica
"The @IFC_org's failure to take action against health facilities that benefit from its funds and yet detain patients who are unable to pay the hefty bills is failing Ugandans" - our @anabwowe is quoted in Bloomberg's investigative story. READ it here
