Thank you to all who joined our #UNGA80 event. @eloisetodd.bsky.social, inspired by President Mary Robinson @theelders.bsky.social rallying cry, "In closing, let's work together with networked advocacy to raise the level of ambition!"

The Pandemic Fund's Priya Basu calls out the need to bolster support for surveillance, laboratory systems, and workforce and unlock additional resources via co-finance. #UNGA80

"Discussion can’t start with financing. You need to have a solid plan. #COP30 Belém Health Action Plan, will bring together health and climate agendas in Belém, including surveillance and monitoring as the first line of action." Secretary Mariângela Batista Galvão Simão @minsaude.bsky.social

"Can’t look at health, climate, in isolation…Resilience starts with prioritising investments in resilient infrastructures and sharing of best practices." Felicitas Riedl, @eib.org ("the climate bank") #UNGA80

“This is a time of crisis and scarcity is incredibly dangerous… Philanthropy has an important role in investing in global public goods, such as collaborative surveillance, data, and analytics to guide countries to make the best decisions." @christopherelias.bsky.social @gatesfoundation.bsky.social

Call from Africa leaders for self-reliance, health sovereignty. @jarottingen.bsky.social @wellcometrust.bsky.social calls out the positive trend toward sovereignty & bilateral partnerships to strengthen national capabilities, but calls for the need to remember mechanisms for collective problems.

“A lot of ideas of what needs to be done, ultimately who will do it? Dr. Chikwe Ihekweazu @who.int calls out that it is the institutions and leadership at national, regional, global levels who will advance the work. #UNGA80

“We have more tools than before, but we continue to deploy them selectively... how can we work differently to address current and future challenges?" Aggrey Aluso @ranafrica.org #UNGA80

“The challenges we face, from pandemic threats, to climate change...are often linked - but policy responses to them are often fragmented. Long-term leadership and multilateralism has never been needed more than now. WATCH WORD for the moment is uncertainty.” @eloisetodd.bsky.social #UNGA80

"Sustained, coordinated investment in mRNA and complementary platforms is not only a scientific necessity but also a moral imperative, to ensure that the world remains united and prepared for any epidemics and pandemics in the future." 🔽

🌍 The next pandemic is most likely to emerge from regions already burdened by infectious diseases, writes Institut Pasteur Dakar's Ibrahima Socé Fall. Africa's scientific leadership is driving critical progress but more health security investments are needed. 👉🏽 www.telegraph.co.uk/global-healt...
