WHO DG @DrTedros was right to promptly convene an Emergency Committee (EC) under the International Health Regulations (IHR) to unite the world in responding to #monkeypox. The EC should recommend a declaration of a public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC) 1X

My 3 resolutions to support #HealthForAll in 2022. 1⃣ Vaccinate 70% of people in all countries by July 2022 to end the #COVID19 pandemic. 2⃣ Strengthen 🌍 health security by supporting negotiations on a #PandemicAccord. 3⃣ Help all countries strengthen primary health care.

🆕 We know from women that #respectfulmaternitycare suffered during #covid19. But we haven't yet heard from health workers on this topic. Our global survey of health workers also shows RMC was negatively affected. 🤰🤱 #maternalhealth #newbornhealth bit.ly/COVID-19andRMC

As we mark 20 years of the heinous attacks of 9/11, my thoughts are with the victims, survivors & families. The solidarity & resolve shown by the international community in those dark days should continue to inspire & guide our efforts to create a future without terrorism.

We know from women that respectful maternity care suffered during #covid19. However, we have not yet heard the health workers on this topic. Our global study shows they are very affected and devastated by the negative impacts of the pandemic on their ability to care. 🧵
