India leads in data innovation and systems, sharing expertise with other countries. In an insightful exchange with @AmbHarishP (@IndiaUNNewYork), I reaffirmed @UNFPA’s support for India’s national priorities and building demographic resilience for sustainable development.

Lasting peace depends on protecting rights, expanding opportunities, and ensuring women and young people are safe, supported, and heard. Joined the @UN high-level conference on counter-terrorism to discuss how @UNFPA works to empower them. #UNiteToCounterTerrorism

More than 117 million people are forcibly displaced around the world. @UNFPA is on the ground to ensure displaced women and girls receive life-saving care and protection. We must ensure their health, dignity, and rights are safeguarded.

African leadership is key to the continent's health security and development. In my conversation with H.E. @eelokaale, PR of #Kenya, we emphasized our joint efforts and Kenya's commitment to improving maternal health and strengthening local manufacturing of health commodities.

My thoughts are with everyone affected by the devastating earthquakes in Venezuela. @UNFPA stands ready with the wider @UN system to deliver emergency services and reach communities in Venezuela.

I am deeply saddened by the loss of life & widespread destruction caused by the devastating earthquakes that struck Venezuela. The UN system is mobilizing assistance & working closely with the Government & our partners to support the response & the people of Venezuela. I

The fight against #HIV needs to be anchored in health, equity, and bodily autonomy for all. Let's remove the barriers that prevent people from seeking care and invest in programmes that reach those most at risk. #HLM2026AIDS

Humanity is strongest when we act together. Grateful to @UNReliefChief for his leadership, partnership, and tireless advocacy for people affected by conflict and disaster. As needs grow, so must our resolve. @UNFPA stands with OCHA to ensure women & girls are never left behind.

Women and girls must be at the heart of humanitarian response. I've directed $10M from UN's Emergency Fund CERF through @UN_Women and @UNFPA across eight crises, giving local women-led organisations a central role to lead in crises.

Funding cuts, shrinking civic space and attacks on human rights are putting decades of progress against HIV at risk. At a side event during #HLM2026AIDS, we discussed why communities must remain at the centre of HIV prevention and response. #EndAIDS

Sierra Leone's progress in reducing maternal mortality is a shining example of African health leadership. In a meeting with H.E. @DembyAustin, Minister of Health, we discussed our joint commitment to health financing reforms and evidence-based maternal health investment cases.

In more than 25 countries, Laerdal's equipment is helping train midwives. Great to meet with Tore Laerdal, Chairman of Laerdal Medical & discuss our longstanding collaboration on safer birth. @LaerdalGH is proof of how technology & innovation can drive change in global health.
