Honoured to meet his Excellency President John Mahama today in Ghana. His impressive personal commitment to health & immunisation has the potential to build a healthier, stronger, more prosperous Ghana. @gavi.org looks forward to working with him and his government to make this a reality:

Delighted that over the past year, >1 million rapid diagnostic kits for cholera have been delivered to 14 @gavi.org-supported countries. Early #cholera detection strengthens surveillance and helps target vaccination programmes to where they are needed most.

Pleased to announce that @gavi.org is the first global health organisation to be certified as an equal salary employer for the third time. Ensuring equal pay and opportunity is essential to drive innovation and excellence: bit.ly/41HFp9E

Many thanks to all the members of the Africa Group for the rich discussion on @gavi.org's upcoming replenishment, vaccine manufacturing on the continent and how investments in immunisation create a healthier, safer world for all.

Honoured to speak at the #Mandela20 event in London to celebrate Nelson Mandela’s legacy, including as @gavi.org’s inaugural Board Chair. Mandela taught us to fight injustice and that lesson prevails in Gavi’s mission to fight inequity and ensure children in lower-income access life-saving vaccines.

Pleased to welcome the arrival of #mpox vaccines in Rwanda. These were secured through an advance purchase agreement funded by @gavi.org’s First Response Fund, a mechanism created after the #COVID19 pandemic to ensure rapid access to vaccine supplies in future health emergencies.

In 2023 alone, more girls were protected against #cervicalcancer through @gavi.org-supported #HPV vaccine programmes than in the entire preceding decade. With support from donors, Gavi will protect >120 million girls, saving 1.5 million lives from 2026-2030. #ForOurFuture #WorldCancerDay

As well as being one of the most cost-effective health interventions, #vaccineswork to prevent poverty and generate economic benefits through increased productivity and wages, as well as reduced healthcare costs.

I have arrived in #Davos for #wef25 and I’m looking forward to celebrating @gavi.org’s 25th anniversary while looking to the future and our goals to protect 500 million children, saving >8 million lives between 2026-2030.

Hi everyone, I’m looking forward to posting regularly here and connecting with likeminded accounts interested in vaccines, global health security, universal health coverage and making the world a healthier, safer place for all.
