Viruses know no borders. Neither should our resolve to stop them.
In a joint commentary @ministerBHOS Sjoerd Sjoerdsma and I make the case for stronger international cooperation and sustainable, flexible financing to protect global health security.
I thank the #Netherlands for its €7 million contribution to the Ebola response and an additional €10 million in flexible funding to @WHO for future emergencies.
Investing in health security abroad is investing in health security at home.

Horrific. At least 33 civilians killed and Ebola patients forced to flee.
Healthcare must never be a target.
We cannot control this outbreak without security for communities, patients, and health workers.
Islamic State-linked militants raided a village in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, killing at least 33 civilians and forcing patients with confirmed and suspected Ebola infections to flee, authorities said on Friday. reuters.com/world/africa/isl…

“We had come across the Bundibugyo virus in two previous outbreaks: 2007 in Uganda and 2012 in DR Congo. So we had enough time to develop vaccines and therapeutic options. But we didn't make use of this opportunity, meaning crucial time was lost during the current outbreak." dw.com/en/ebola-why-is-there…

La maladie à virus Ebola ne touche pas uniquement la santé physique. Elle peut également avoir des répercussions psychologiques sur les personnes admises dans les centres de traitement Ebola (CTE), mais aussi sur leurs familles, confrontées à l’inquiétude, à la peur et parfois au rejet.
À l’hôpital général, la psychologue Sarah accompagne les patients et leurs proches pour les aider à comprendre la maladie, à faire face à cette épreuve et à préparer le retour des personnes dont les résultats sont négatifs. Cet accompagnement contribue également à favoriser leur réintégration au sein de leur famille.
Même après un résultat négatif, le respect des mesures de prévention reste essentiel car ce résultat négatif ne confère pas une immunité contre Ebola. La vigilance et les gestes de protection doivent donc être maintenus.

Which vaccines do children around the world receive?
Every year, the World Health Organization (WHO) and UNICEF estimate what share of children in each country get each routine vaccine. Their Estimates of National Immunization Coverage cover vaccines against 13 diseases, from measles to rotavirus, in 195 countries since 1980.
They start from the doses that health services report and check them against household surveys. For the small share of countries that haven’t reported any data for the most recent year, WHO and UNICEF estimate coverage from the years before.
The chart shown here is about the vaccine against human papillomavirus (HPV), which causes nearly all cervical cancers. It shows the share of girls who had their last dose between the ages of 9 and 14, measured when they turn 15. Coverage varies a lot from country to country, even within the same world region.
We recently updated our charts with the July 2026 release, which adds 2025 estimates for every country. For HPV, we now have data for 160 countries and territories in 2025, compared with 146 a year earlier.

Encouraging progress in Kenya’s Ebola response.
Five patients have recovered and are being discharged from hospital today, while 46 more contacts have completed quarantine and returned home.
No new Ebola case has been reported since 19 October 2026, with no evidence of community transmission.
The Ministry of Health continues heightened surveillance and urges the public to remain vigilant, seek medical attention early and welcome recovered patients home without stigma.
Together, we are bringing this outbreak to an end.

A person in Yakima County has died from complications of bird flu following exposure to infected dairy cattle and a 3rd case has been identified.
We have too often treated bird flu as a threat we can dismiss. Yet it persists. The reported risk to the general public remains low, but that cannot become an excuse for complacency or for overlooking those whose work places them at greater risk.
We need sustained surveillance, transparency, and protection for exposed workers.
People need our attention to be protected. The measure of preparedness is whether we act before someone else’s loss becomes the reason we finally care.

Great news from @NCDCgov about the two possible Ebola cases in Yola which are negative.
Important to maintain high clinical suspicion, contact trace, and test as indicated to ensure we don’t miss any other cases.
🚨 PRESS STATEMENT
NCDC is working with the Adamawa State Government to investigate two suspected Ebola cases reported in Yola, which were isolated and tested. Samples turned out NEGATIVE for Ebola virus after two rounds of testing.
The index case previously confirmed in the FCT remains the only confirmed case reported in Nigeria to date.
The public is urged to remain calm and obtain information from official government and public health channels.
Anyone experiencing symptoms such as fever, severe weakness, headache, muscle pain, vomiting, diarrhoea or unexplained bleeding, particularly following relevant exposure, should seek immediate medical attention and inform healthcare workers of any relevant travel or contact history.
