Congrats to colleagues on the launch of our new #GlobalHealth Security Strategy, a plan for how the U.S. works across sectors and partners toward regional, national, and local pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response. Strong political commitment and action keep us safe.

The world can neither function nor thrive without #HealthForAll . Not only does it keep us safe, it also makes us whole. This is everyone's right, essential to tackle inequity at home and abroad. On #WorldHeathDay , let us acknowledge our common condition and shared responsibility.
