The resurgence of violence this weekend in North Kivu and Ituri is deeply concerning and is hampering efforts to bring the #Ebola outbreak under control. The outbreak has already claimed more than 5,000 lives, with nearly 11,000 confirmed cases.
We call for an immediate de-escalation of violence and safe, unhindered access for health and humanitarian workers serving affected communities.
Our thoughts are with the families of those who have lost loved ones, those who have been injured, and our colleagues who continue to provide essential health services amid the insecurity.
Health facilities must be protected. Humanitarian workers must be protected. Health must never be a target.

La reprise des violences ce week-end au Nord-Kivu et en Ituri est très préoccupante et complique les efforts visant à mettre fin à l’épidémie d’#Ebola. Plus de 5 000 personnes ont déjà perdu la vie et près de 11 000 cas ont été confirmés.
Nous appelons à l’arrêt immédiat des violences et à un accès sûr et sans entrave pour les personnels de santé et les travailleurs humanitaires qui viennent en aide aux communautés touchées.
Nos pensées vont aux familles endeuillées, aux personnes blessées ainsi qu’à nos collègues qui continuent de fournir des services de santé essentiels dans un contexte d’insécurité.
Les établissements de santé doivent être protégés. Les travailleurs humanitaires doivent être protégés. La santé ne doit jamais être une cible.

O recrudescimento da violência neste fim de semana no Kivu do Norte e em Ituri é profundamente preocupante e está a dificultar os esforços para controlar o surto de #Ebola. O surto já causou mais de 5.000 mortes, com quase 11.000 casos confirmados.
Apelamos à redução imediata da violência e à garantia de um acesso seguro e sem obstáculos para os profissionais de saúde e os trabalhadores humanitários que prestam assistência às comunidades afetadas.
Os nossos pensamentos estão com as famílias das pessoas que perderam a vida, com os feridos e com os nossos colegas que continuam a prestar serviços essenciais de saúde num contexto de insegurança.
As unidades de saúde devem ser protegidas. Os trabalhadores humanitários devem ser protegidos. A saúde nunca deve ser um alvo.

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.

The ongoing Ebola outbreak caused by the Bundibugyo virus has taken a devastating toll on people’s lives and health, claiming over 5000 lives.
Supporting the Democratic Republic of the Congo’s health response, WHO and partners are working to advance vaccine research, treatments and medicines that can improve care and save lives. WHO expert groups have recommended adding two candidate vaccines to the ongoing Tumaini clinical trial in the DRC, marking a milestone in protecting people against Bundibugyo virus.
Here’s how science is driving the search for solutions in the face of a crisis.

Today, DG @CMuvunyi opened a 3-day #TRIBEHUB workshop focused on turning health sector evidence and experience into better policies and real improvements in service delivery.
The workshop brought together health partners to capture lessons from health investments, translate evidence into actionable recommendations, and develop practical tools, such as policy briefs and toolkits, to strengthen decision-making across the health sector.
In his remarks, DG Prof. Muvunyi stressed that knowledge should not remain within individual projects or institutions; it must be shared, built upon, and put into action across the health sector.
He called for practical learning, clear policy recommendations, and the continued use of knowledge generated beyond the workshop. "The real value of our investments is not just what we achieve, but what we learn, share, and turn into better health outcomes for #Rwanda-ns."

Clean air matters for everyone. 💙
But pregnant women, children under 5, adults over 60 and people with respiratory or cardiac conditions are more vulnerable to the effects of air pollution.
If you are in one of these groups, please follow your doctor’s advice to reduce your exposure and stay healthy.

Fragmented information systems can limit timely access to health data and hinder effective decision-making. Connecting systems and improving data exchange are essential to stronger health systems.

🏙️ By 2050, 70 percent of the world’s people will live in cities.
Are our cities ready to support their health and well-being?
Cities offer opportunities, but overcrowding, unsafe water and sanitation, air pollution and unhealthy environments can pose serious health risks.
Healthy cities put health and equity at the heart of urban planning, creating environments where people can live healthier lives and reach their full potential.
This #WorldCitiesDay, let’s work towards cities that are healthier, safer and more sustainable for everyone.

Damaging nature fuels disease, hunger,economic losses and climate shocks. Protecting biodiversity means healthier, safer and more resilient societies.
As @UNBiodiversity COP17 unfolds, we call on countries to put health at the heart of biodiversity and biodiversity at the heart of health policy.
