Great to be back at the European Alpbach Forum EuropeanForumAlpbach this year, under the title "Moment of Truth." It was inspiring to engage with remarkable leaders and passionate young minds on the future of Europe amidst today's global challenges.

Had a very good meeting with Uganda's Prime Minister NABBANJA ROBINAH, where I commended the country's remarkable efforts in child immunization. We also discussed plans for @Gavi to support Government of Uganda in launching malaria vaccine in routine immunization in 2025.

Thrilled to arrive in Dili to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the referendum for Timor Leste's Independence. What an incredible surprise (and honor!) to have President José Ramos-Horta personally drive me to the hotel in his old jeep! José Ramos-Horta

Very substantive meeting with my friend UN SG António Guterres in Dili today. We discussed the overall international situation and also the progress in global immunization. Grateful for the very strong support of the SG to @Gavi.

Great meeting in Dili with my old friend, the leader of Timor-Leste's independence and current Prime Minister Xanana Gusmão. Many topics in the agenda, including the challenges of public health in this country.

Deforestation, mass migration, and #climatechange are fuelling the spread of infectious diseases. Now, more than ever, investing in @Gavi is crucial to address this threat. Together, we can protect millions of lives and build a healthier future. #forourfuture

"Increasingly, investing in immunisation is seen as a centrepiece of broader policies on health security at both national and regional levels" - timely read by Dr Dr Sania Nishtar on the power of regional collaboration to “turbocharge” immunisation progress: bit.ly/3MdZvju

A child born in a Gavi-supported country is 70% less likely to die before their fifth birthday than in 2000. Pleasure to speak at the ImpactSG Breakfast Meeting in Singapore to outline why vaccines are the single best investment in public health:

.UNICEF’s decision to issue an emergency tender to help secure #mpox vaccines in collaboration with Africa CDC, Gavi, World Health Organization (WHO), PAHO/WHO and other partners is a vital step in the response to the ongoing outbreak. Our joint statement details why: bit.ly/3Xtfr7Q

Important document which sets out how together we can defeat #mpox in Africa. @Gavi is already taking action as part of this international response and collaborating closely with our partners to ensure this response is as swift and effective as possible

More than 4,000 people died from cholera during 2023 – an increase of 71% on the previous year. Fully funding @Gavi is essential to tackle this forgotten pandemic by ensuring the emergency vaccine stockpile continues to be a lifeline: bit.ly/4guu5mH #ForOurFuture
