It was a lifetime experience to run for the election of WHO African Region Regional Director position. The outcome is not what was expected, however I’d like to sincerely thank HE Paul Kagame for his full support throughout this process. Mwarakoze cyane 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 Presidency | Rwanda


Today in Dubai, I represented Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance at the Healthcare Future Summit 2024, the first vaccination and infectious diseases summit. Rich discussion and great interest of the work we are doing Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance to save lives & promote vaccine equity. linkedin.com/posts/healthca…


I am still very shocked & saddened to learn since this morning the untimely death of Dr Faustine Ndugulile, the Regional Director elect of WHO African Region . I convey my sincere & deepest condolences to his family and to all WHO African Region staff. May his gentle soul rest in eternal peace.



The Rwandan Minister of Health Dr Sabin Nsanzimana has just declared officially the end of the Marburg outbreak in Rwanda. Thanks to the bravery of national healthcare professionals, the country leadership and the international solidarity, Rwanda has made it. Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance Ministry of Health | Rwanda







Minister Dr Sabin Nsanzimana represented H.E. President Paul Kagame at the #GaviReplenishment, co-hosted by European Commission, Gates Foundation & Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, securing over $9B for vaccines. He shared Rwanda’s efforts in immunization, local production & reaffirmed its pledge to Gavi.


Yesterday, global leaders and the international community gathered in Brussels for the Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance replenishment summit to recommit their support for immunization. More than $9 billion were raised to continue the work of protecting the more vulnerable and keeping the world safe.


When global commitment is at the service of equity and humanity, the world shows its decent face. I’m very proud to have contributed to this Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance effort. #VaccinesWork Dr Sania Nishtar

Thank you Dr Dr Sabin Nsanzimana for pledging vital funding for @Gavi to help us build a healthier, safer world for all:
