As Dr Matshidiso Moeti ends her term as Regional Director for WHO African Region, the WHO Director-General, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, today appointed Dr Chikwe Ihekweazu as Acting Regional Director. A new Regional Director for Africa will be elected in May.
Grateful for the trust of our DG Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus and deeply honoured to take on the role of Acting World Health Organization (WHO) Regional Director WHO African Region until May. It is an honour and privilege to serve our continent.
Seven years ago World Health Organization (WHO) warned: #AirPollution is the new tobacco. The simple act of breathing is killing 7 million people a year. This is inexcusable. The need to tackle air pollution has only become more important over time. We need #CleanAirNow for our health!
