My thoughts are with the families who lost loved ones in the catastrophic flooding in DRC. The floods bring fresh trauma to many already suffering due to ongoing conflict.

Devastating. With life-saving nutrition services for 50K severely malnourished children in #Sudan already disrupted by the fighting, the looting & burning of the main factory producing therapeutic foods used for their treatment will only make the situation for children more dire.

Heartbroken by the burning down of the #SAMIL factory in Khartoum It produced 60% of the #RUTF used to treat children with Severe Acute Malnutrition in #Sudan last year. Its loss is a bitter blow for children. The fighting in #Sudan must stop now!

I've arrived in Malawi—nicknamed the "warm heart of Africa"—to get an up-close look at its primary health care system. In the past decade, Malawi made significant gains by focusing on improving delivery of essential health services. Life expectancy jumped from 55.6 to 64.7 years.
