A reflection by Pope Leo XIV
"Indeed, the search for truth is a good worth desiring and passing on. As we pursue it methodically, we come to understand that no field of study can be reduced to mere speculation. Precisely because it involves the exercise of both intellect and will, study is rather a commitment, requiring self-discipline and conversion: a transformation of the mind, which we cultivate like fertile soil by honing our tools of the trade. By doing our very best, we become responsible stewards in society without being seduced by careers focused on money. Let us rather recognize that culture is the good of humanity: truth sets us free, while falsehood distorts names and things. In the face of what dehumanizes people – especially the least among us, the poor and the sick – I ask you to be witnesses to Christian humanism."
(Address to the German Catholic Student Associations - June 5, 2026)

Selflessness is like leaven that makes the human, ethical, and spiritual dimensions of society grow, and it is a distinctive element of the “City of God.” In a world constantly influenced by a logic of self-interest and profit, where the term “growth” is reduced to the economic-financial sense, it is important to think and live according to a more authentic mentality that leads to integral human development. #ApostolicJourney

There are places we pass through in life… and there are places that become part of who we are.
Manchester will forever be my home.
To the city, the club, and every supporter, my sincerest thank you. These past four years have been unforgettable, filled with moments my family and I will carry with us for the rest of our lives. There simply aren’t enough words to describe the happiness and warmth we’ve felt here.
Thank you for every cheer, every memory, and for making us feel at home from the very first day.
Forever a Red Devil ❤️

Health Cabinet Secretary Hon. Aden Duale today held consultative discussions with Prof. Lukoye Atwoli, Dean and International President of the World Health Summit Regional Meeting (WHSRM) 2026, as Kenya intensifies preparations to host the prestigious global forum at the United Nations Offices in Nairobi from 27–29 April 2026.
Held under the theme “Reimagining African Health Systems: Innovation, Integration, and Interdependence,” the summit is expected to convene more than 2,000 delegates from over 50 countries, bringing global health leaders, policymakers, researchers, and development partners to Nairobi. Hosting the meeting marks a major milestone for Kenya and underscores the country’s rising profile in global health diplomacy.
Hon. Duale, who was accompanied by the Principal Secretary for Public Health and Professional Standards, Ms Mary Muthoni, noted that the summit’s theme aligns strongly with Kenya’s national drive towards Universal Health Coverage (UHC). He emphasised that the forum presents a strategic opportunity to position Nairobi as a continental hub for health innovation while showcasing Kenya’s leadership in Primary Health Care reforms and broader health system transformation.
The World Health Summit Regional Meeting will provide a high-level platform for dialogue on pressing health challenges, foster the exchange of innovative and evidence-based solutions, and strengthen collaboration across sectors and regions. While placing Africa’s health priorities at the centre, the forum will also advance globally relevant approaches aimed at building resilient and equitable health systems.
The Cabinet Secretary reaffirmed Kenya’s commitment to clearly defined national priorities, strengthened regional partnerships, and ensuring that the outcomes of the summit translate into lasting gains for the country’s health system beyond the event itself.

Today, on behalf of @WHO, I was honoured to hand over a major consignment of medical supplies and equipment to H.E. President @WilliamsRuto and to the Government and people of Kenya 🇰🇪.
The support includes 14 fully equipped ambulances, 233 medical oxygen cylinders, nearly 3000 emergency preparedness & response medical supplies and equipment, reproductive and maternal health commodities and equipment as well as medicines to treat #NTDs, all valued at over US$ 2.3m.
These investments will help strengthen emergency referral systems, maternal and newborn care, outbreak readiness and critical care across Kenya.
WHO commends Kenya’s bold leadership to reduce maternal deaths and is proud to stand with @HonAdenDuale, Cabinet Secretary for Health, county governments and frontline health workers as we build a system where no one is left behind.

Intestinal worms and schistosomiasis remain major Neglected Tropical diseases in Rwanda.
Excited to present at #TropMed25 our work on how WASH and behavioral practices are shaping efforts to halt the transmission and move closer to elimination as public health problems.

The best expression of freedom is not exercising freedom of expression, perhaps it’s knowing when to SHUT UP.
Wisdom is freedom.

Winnie Odinga shared a beautiful bond with her dad and it really shows in this behind-the-scenes video of the making of Jakom’s official portrait from 2017. She was the one directing the shoot, and you can see how naturally she made him feel at ease,cracking jokes.
