Indeed “stop the stigma break the silence” - strong messages on #mentalhealth, creating awareness, encouraging to address mental health challenges and looking into the future. 🙏🏼 @Houseofswaghos @WHO_Europe #RC74CPH
An energizing and inspiring start to #RC74CPH with the talented @Houseofswaghos - young people promoting positive mental health through dance.
It is great to see the buy-in and support much needed but 5 women : 16 men - that we have not got right yet.
In a powerful demonstration of high-level support, WHO today received nearly US$ 700 million in new funding commitments from European countries, foundations and others, and another US$ 300 million in reaffirmed commitments.
Announced at the WHO Investment Round Signature Event at the @WorldHealthSmt in Berlin hosted by Germany, France, and Norway, the commitments highlighted the urgent need for investments in the Organization’s mission to improve health outcomes worldwide.

Migrants’ financial contribution is key for #SmallIsands sustainable development.
In 2022, migrants' remittances to Small Island Developing States amounted to $22 billion.
These funds can help finance sustainable development, climate adaptation, and poverty reduction.

Governance is about setting the rules of the game - as such it is essentially about power. I will draw lesson from the #AIDS response on how to leverage power of advocacy coalitions to better govern the commercial determinants of health #CDoH - 🙏 @WHO @mikakosinska @baumfran
