Tell leaders to invest in lifesaving MNCH programs. Today’s @WHO projections indicate that by 2030, the maternal mortality ratio will be 2.5 times higher than the SDG targets. But we can change that. There is no world health without #MNCH.

Over the past decades, investment in MNCH has saved millions of lives. But today, that progress is at risk. Sustained investment in MNCH programs means investing in a stronger, healthier, and more prosperous world. There is no world health without #MNCH.

What will move #MNCH forward? EGPAF's Sarah Barnes recently attended #IMNHC2026 and shared her key takeaways with us. https://pedaids.org/2026/04/09/innovation-financing-and-accountability-what-will-move-maternal-health-forward/

Health decisions must be guided by evidence, not noise. This World Health Day, turn to trusted, science-based sources to: ➡️ protect your health ➡️ prevent disease ➡️ seek treatment and recovery #StandWithScience #WorldHealthDay WHO

This #WorldHealthDay, we are calling on leaders to invest in maternal, newborn, and child health and stop these preventable deaths. By funding MNCH programs, women, children, and families get the essential care they need to thrive. There is no world health without #MNCH.

Today is #ZeroDiscriminationDay. For people living with HIV, internalized stigma means hiding their status, skipping treatment, and living in fear of judgment. This isn't a side issue. It's a barrier to ending AIDS by 2030.

Achieving Generation Zero is possible. We have the tools. We have expertise. Now we need the investment. https://act.pedaids.org/a/generation-zero-now

5 Questions with Dr. Lynne Mofenson bit.ly/4qRxtw4 @egpaf.bsky.social

As researchers gather in Denver for #CROI, we are thinking a lot about this quote from Elizabeth Glaser. Generation Zero is possible because we invested in research to find evidence-based solutions and deploy them at scale. We can't stop now. #GenerationZeroHIV

In her own words: Adrienne’s journey from HIV diagnosis to raising three HIV-free children. pedaids.org/2026/02/06/i...

In 2026, we have the tools to end pediatric HIV and prevent vertical transmission. Not investing to put those tools into action means around 10,000 additional children will acquire HIV each month. Children deserve better. They deserve #GenerationZeroHIV

We're delighted to announce our new Board Member, Catherine Connor, of @egpaf.bsky.social to lead the @developedngo.bsky.social Delegation for the next two years! 🙌 🙌 🙌 Read more here: shorturl.at/rSqwe

What is Generation Zero? A way to finally end pediatric HIV. pedaids.org/2026/02/17/g...

For the first time in history, ending pediatric HIV is not just possible — it’s within reach. Today, we are launching Generation Zero, a campaign to finally end pediatric HIV. We have the tools. We have the expertise. We have the partnerships. What we need now is urgency.

“The number of people living with HIV doesn’t change because funding changes. Someone still has to provide treatment.” EGPAF’s Catherine Connor spoke to the @the-independent.com about the recent changes to the US global health policy. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

A highlight of the #AUSummit - connecting with leaders who are focused on moving from discussion to delivery. At the High Level Side Event on Africa’s Health Sovereignty we heard from Hon. Kwabena Mintah Akandoh (MOH Ghana) about his vision for building on the Accra Dialogues. @who.int

You never know who you are going to meet at the #AUSummit! Earlier today EGPAF’s Rhoda Igweta met Dr. Kennedy Lishimpi (Permanent Secretary MOH Zambia) and learned about his connection with EGPAF. In 1998, he was a PAF scholar, receiving funding to study the management of pediatric #HIV.

At the High-Level Side Event on Digital Health Technologies for RMNCAH, leaders emphasized that digital health in Africa must be driven by strong political commitment, integrated into national plans, and supported by domestic investments to reach every child. #AUSummit

“We need accessible dignified care for every woman. Our womb is part of our body and we need to take care of it.” - OAFLAD’s President Fatima Maada Bio @africanunion.bsky.social @villagereach.bsky.social @youterushealth.bsky.social

We are excited to be working with @unicef.org on a new project in Malawi. Our team will be leveraging our experience building and implementing digital health solutions to improve the identification and management of at-risk infants and strengthening treatment of severely wasted children.

A busy day at the #AUSummit! EGPAF’s Rhoda Igweta spoke at the OAFLAD technical advisors meeting, speaking on behalf of the Co-chairs of the Heath Working Group.
