The 3 warmest years on record for Europe have all occurred since 2020! 🥵 We need to be doing more to address heat as a public health threat! Great to see Hans Kluge supporting #UN SG António Guterres Call to Action on extreme heat: who.int/europe/news/it…

#Immunization systems in the Eastern partnership region are stronger than ever! New cold chain equipment & well-trained health workers ensure everyone has access to lifesaving #vaccines.

⬇️ air pollution = ⬇️ cancer, cardiovascular and respiratory disease. And it’s great for our planet. 👏 Francesca Racioppi

More governments need to take action to mitigate heat shocks on vulnerable people. More than 20 countries in the World Health Organization (WHO) Europe region have such plans in place which is “not enough to protect all communities”. soundcloud.com/unradio/heat-a…

You heard that right: WHO is interested in the arts! More and more research tells us that engaging in culture & practicing the arts can be a health behaviour, like riding your bike.   Excited to join forces with @ScottishBallet Scottish Government Jameel Arts & Health Lab Edinburgh International Festival for #HAS2024

Sweden – a WHO/Europe Member State – has confirmed the first clade I #mpox case outside of the African Region. This, a day after World Health Organization (WHO) declared mpox a Public Health Emergency of International Concern amid the rapidly evolving clade I scenario in the Democratic Republic of Congo

Can we control or even eliminate #Mpox ? Not without understanding the behaviours of priority populations and the complex context that affects them. Our policy brief describes how this can be done: iris.who.int/handle/10665/3…

After decades without major advances, we now have a steady stream of innovations to stop TB—the number one infectious disease killer globally. Now, the world must commit to deploying them. My column in today's The New York Times: nytimes.com/2024/08/16/opi…

So get out there & enjoy the arts! #HealingArtsScotland @ScottishBallet Scottish Government Jameel Arts & Health Lab Edinburgh International Festival
