In the wake of COVID-19, the urgency for rapid pandemic response has never been clearer. Gavi’s 2.25B€ Day Zero Financing Facility is designed to overcome the financial delays that have historically hindered vaccine distribution. As the world faces the re-emergence of MPOX, this fund is under the spotlight. Will it set a new standard for pandemic preparedness?

In a welcome step, World Health Organization's Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus will convene the Emergency Committee under the International Health Regulations ASAP to advise on whether the ongoing outbreak of #mpox constitutes a public health emergency of international concern or a #PHEIC. Attention and action to date to contain the escalating spread of mpox has been inadequate. Now is the time for both African and world leaders to put intentions of solidarity to practice through political leadership + millions more dollars in funding + increased access to tests and vaccines (millions of doses) to save lives. It's beyond time to apply the lessons of inequity of COVID and take action to stop outbreaks before they become pandemics. https://lnkd.in/d8rz3jgd

As the #mpox outbreak continues to impact high-risk countries, World Health Organization African Region is taking decisive action to strengthen Africa’s health security. We recently briefed the United Nations (UN) on our interventions, including enhancing regional collaboration, strengthening rapid response mechanisms, and ensuring equitable access to vaccines, treatments, and diagnostics. By fostering cross-sector partnerships and empowering communities we aim to build resilient health systems that can effectively manage the ongoing outbreak and prevent future ones. As we implement the Global and Continental Strategic Preparedness and Response Plans, collaboration with the UN is crucial to align efforts and protect vulnerable communities. By working together, we can prevent future outbreaks and safeguard our communities. #GlobalHealth #HealthSecurity

The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the surge of mpox in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and several African countries a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC). IPPF is deeply concerned about this development and stands in solidarity with the affected communities. This rapid spread of a new mpox strain underscores the urgent need for a coordinated global response. We call on international partners to mobilize resources and support efforts to curb this outbreak, ensuring equitable access to vaccines, diagnostics, and care. IPPF will continue to closely monitor the situation and provide updates as they become available. #ActNow #Emergency #HealthForAll

The Task Force for Global Health, Inc. is at the World Health Organization's 77th World Health Assembly 🌏 Our Director of Global and Federal Affairs Emily Conron delivered our Individual Non-State Actor Statement today: “The Task Force for Global Health is dedicated to eliminating neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) through drug donations, operational research, and collaboration, aligned with the NTD Road Map. To accelerate and sustain progress, we urge WHO and Member States to prioritize services for NTDs in universal health coverage objectives, and ensure the transition of care for persons affected by NTDs to the primary health care system when elimination as a public health problem has been validated. As NTDs target the most underserved and hard to reach populations, UHC can be evaluated by its ability to reach those affected by NTDs with comprehensive services: from prevention, early detection, diagnosis and treatment, to long term care and psychosocial support. The Task Force stands committed to support WHO and Member States in the pursuit of these ambitious but essential aims.” Learn more about our #WHA77 participation in our recent May Dispatches article ▶️ https://bit.ly/3R6d5bm

#ICYMI You can rewatch last week's thought-provoking webinar which addressed how the evidence generated in the IMI RESCEU and PROMISE Projects can be leveraged to ensure novel #RSV immunisation solutions reach people. A great illustration of the power of public-private partnerships in the vaccine field! Innovative Health Initiative (IHI)

Yesterday was #WorldHealthDay, and this year’s theme is “My health, my right.” According to the World Health Organization (WHO) Council on the Economics of Health for All, there are at least 140 countries that constitutionally recognize health as a human right, but not enough countries are passing and implementing laws to ensure access to health services. For the public, their key messages are: ☑ Know your health rights ☑ Make decisions about your own health ☑ Protect your right to health as a basic human right ☑ Promote the right to health as an intrinsic pillar of our broader human rights ☑ Champion health as a priority Learn more about PROPEL Health’s policy work: https://propel.pub/web

WHO Declares Mpox Outbreak a Global Health Emergency: A Call to Action In a decisive move, WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has declared the mpox outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and surrounding African nations a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC). The alarming spread of a new virus strain through sexual networks demands immediate international collaboration. WHO is spearheading efforts to scale up vaccine distribution, secure funding, and coordinate a robust global response. Join the fight to contain this crisis—stay informed and support global health initiatives. #GlobalHealth #PublicHealthEmergency #MpoxOutbreak #HealthSecurity #WHO #VaccineDistribution #HealthEquity #InternationalHealth #CrisisResponse #HealthcareLeadership #DiseasePrevention #HealthAwareness #SupportGlobalHealth #EmergencyPreparedness

Webinar Alert!! #RegisterNow Join the first Universal Health and Preparedness Review (UHPR) public webinar, where #Thailand, #Portugal, and #CAR (Central African Republic) will share their experience in managing natural disasters and epidemics. With leadership from the top and collaboration across sectors, these countries have learned that effective preparedness goes beyond even the best Ministry of Health. Don't miss this opportunity to listen and interact with them on engagement, solidarity, and peer-to-peer learning for health security preparedness. The UHPR is a voluntary, transparent, Member State-led peer review mechanism that supports collective actions at the national and global levels to help make the world safer, based on the principles of equity and mutual accountability. Since 2022, 10 Member States representing five WHO regions ran pilots, and the first-ever Global Peer Review (GPR) took place in Geneva, Switzerland in February 2024. Register now for the webinar on May 23, 1200-1300 CEST / GVA time at https://lnkd.in/egumgs8A or scan the QR code. #governance #advocacy #emergencypreparedness #healthsecurity #WHO #publichealth #UHPR #WHA77
