Almost 800.000 people killed in the war in #Tigray
The savage reality for the people of #Afghanistan, especially women & girls
1,450 political prisoners in #Belarus
They deserve #accountability.

Thank you for the support ! People must stop unfounded accusations against the vaccines and vaccination. It must be said loud and clear that vaccination is a safe medical procedure that saves lives especially those of women and children who are the most vulnerable groups

Last year, 25 million children missed out on routine vaccinations – mostly in Africa. One of @WHO key priorities is to support countries to get back on track. Thank you President @Macky_Sall for your leadership to ensure that Africa’s children are vaccinated. #DakarVxForum2022

#UniversalHealthCoverage is about ensuring everyone has the care they need without suffering financial hardship.
For health systems to work, they must work for everyone – no matter who they are, where they live, or how much money they have. #HealthForAll
