Latest Situation Report on the DRC #Ebola outbreak. Total of 11 new confirmed cases since the last @who.int report. "Outbreak shows a decreasing trend...nevertheless the attention remains high, and response activities are ongoing." hq_who_departmentofcommunications.cmail20.com/t/d-e-gakkut...

Words of wisdom. PAN Executive Director @eloisetodd.bsky.social's recap with highlights of yesterday's inspiring conversation at #UNGA80 on "Tackling Future Threats in an Era of Multipolarity. www.linkedin.com/posts/eloise...

“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

🌍 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...

💥 Key takeaways from Resilience Action Network Africa (RANA)'s Aggrey Aluso from last week's 75th Session of the WHO Regional Committee for Africa (RC75) in Zambia. www.linkedin.com/posts/aggrey...

‼️The @afro.who.int region faced a RECORD 154 public health emergencies in 2024. The path forward "must prioritize local leadership, integrated systems, smarter logistics, digital innovation & sustained health security investments at every level" for better resilience. 🌍 tinyurl.com/yckf2sym

👏🏽 Two new investments by @unitaid.bsky.social will strengthen regional diagnostics and medicines manufacturing in Africa. The programs, led by @path.org and USP, will lay the groundwork for continental resilience and growth.

African countries affected by #mpox have improved diagnostics one year in through much collective effort. But many challenges — limited funding, vaccines, stigma, & more — remain in the response and require a sustained, unified effort and approach 👇 healthpolicy-watch.news/africas-mpox...
