The #PandemicAgreement adopted at #WHA78 includes a commitment from governments to attach concrete #access conditions to public funding for research. With this, governments can ensure that health tools generated thanks to public resources are accessible to everyone. elpais.com/planeta-futu...

At today’s #WHA78 side event, African countries united to accelerate the elimination of #NTDs. An MoU was signed to eliminate #VisceralLeishmaniasis — a major step forward in cross-border collaboration and country-led action. #GlobalHealth #NTDElimination

Productive meeting with Mario Moreira on the sidelines of #WHA78. Fiocruz's commitment to continue playing, as a DNDi founding partner, an active role on DNDi's Board is inspiring. We look forward to working together to strengthening global and regional R&D and production networks and capacities.

I am honoured and deeply moved by this recognition. Grateful to the Government of Japan and the Prize Committee for helping bring attention to the millions still facing neglected diseases. This Prize belongs to every partner, patient, donor, and colleague working for change. 🙏
