    Amidst backsliding on the #SDGs in the past two years, this interview with @BillGates is an optimistic reminder that the most treacherous global health challenges can be overcome when the world works together – because we’ve done it before.

    Avec le décès de Jacques Delors, ancien Président de la Commission Européenne, avec qui j'ai eu l'honneur de collaborer, nous perdons un leader extraordinaire. Il combinait les "petits pas" de l'intégration européenne avec l'idéal d'une Europe unie. Merci, cher Jacques!

    Over three decades of leadership at the national and global levels, Dr Nishtar has built a reputation as an advocate for health equity, an innovative thinker and a proven doer when it comes to solving complex challenges.

    Great to get approval at my first @Gavi Board of the #COVAX Buffer - up to 100 million doses of #COVID19 vaccines will be available to vulnerable groups: refugees, displaced persons and others in humanitarian settings. An important safety net to make sure nobody gets left behind.

    Com a morte de Jacques Delors, ex Presidente da Comissão Europeia, com quem tive a honra e o prazer de colaborar em várias ocasiões, perdemos um extraordinário líder. Ele combinava os “pequenos passos” da integração europeia com o ideal de uma Europa unida. Merci, cher Jacques!

    The pandemic is not over. No complacency. The world must support #COVAX and #VaccineEquity. A great meeting with @DrTedros at the @WHO headquarters in Geneva. #VaccinesWork
