"The #COVID19 pandemic has changed our world in ways we could never have imagined when it started just over a year ago"-@DrTedros

"Beyond the death and disease caused by the #COVID19 virus itself, health systems have been disrupted, millions of jobs have been lost, schools have closed, poverty and hunger have been exacerbated and the global economy has been thrown into turmoil"-@DrTedros

"Every part of society has been affected & so every part of society must be part of the response, and the recovery. Over the next 40 mins, leaders from politics, business & entertainment will explain why they are supporting @GlblCtzn’s Recover Better Together campaign"-@DrTedros

"Our highest priority now is to stop transmission and save lives. And we have the tools to do it. Many countries have shown that even without vaccines, #COVID19 can be controlled with proven public health measures"-@DrTedros

"With the approval of safe and effective #COVID19 vaccines, we now have another powerful tool to add to the toolbox. But we must use these tools effectively"-@DrTedros

"Last year, with the support of President @vonderleyen, WHO and our partners launched the @ACTAccelerator, with two aims: to develop vaccines, tests and treatments fast, and distribute them fairly. The first objective has been achieved; the second is in jeopardy"-@DrTedros

"So far, 210 million doses of #COVID19 vaccine have been administered globally, but half of those are in just 2 countries, and 80% are in 10 countries. More than 200 countries are yet to administer a single dose"-@DrTedros #VaccinEquity

"For #WorldHealthDay this year we have chosen the theme of building a healthier, fairer . But to make that theme a reality & not just a slogan, we need urgent action from high-income countries & manufacturers to fully fund the @ACTAccelerator & share doses with COVAX"-@DrTedros

"The #COVID19 pandemic has been a devastating demonstration that human health does not exist in a vacuum. Our health is intimately tied to the health of animals and ecosystems. So we can only safeguard human health by safeguarding the health of our planet"-@DrTedros

"In May last year, WHO published our Manifesto for a healthy and green recovery, with 6 policy prescriptions and more than 80 specific actions to protect nature, support clean energy, reduce pollution promote sustainable food systems and build healthier cities"-@DrTedros #COVID19

"We can only prevent future pandemics with an integrated One Health approach that addresses the impact of human activities that disrupt ecosystems, encroach on habitats, and further drive #climatechange"-@DrTedros

"Vaccines will help to bring the #COVID19 pandemic under control, but we will still be left with many of the same problems that existed before, and which have only been exacerbated by the pandemic"-@DrTedros

"As I often say, there is no vaccine for poverty, no vaccine for hunger, no vaccine for climate change and no vaccine for inequality"-@DrTedros

"In 2015, nations came together to agree on a common vision for the world we want: @GlobalGoalsUN. We were already off track for the Goals before the pandemic; now we’re even further behind"-@DrTedros

"But that’s no reason to give up. If anything, the pandemic has only shown us why the @GlobalGoalsUN are so important, and we must pursue them with even more innovation and determination"-@DrTedros
