@DrTedros "I have often said that universal health coverage and health security are two sides of the same coin. Both depend on health systems that are resilient, efficient and effective, and able to surge to respond to emergencies"-@DrTedros #HealthForAll
@DrTedros "Health systems like that are a vital first line of defence against outbreaks with epidemic and pandemic potential; but they’re also essential for promoting health, preventing communicable and noncommunicable diseases, and for reducing inequalities and inequities"-@DrTedros

I went to the #RoyalAlexandriaHospital today to support the hospital staff being #harassed by #AntiVaxxers. I stayed until shortly after 3 pm but the time I was there was... Eventful.

First, we met THIS "gentleman," who I will call Mr. PPC because he showed up in a grey convertible with a #PPC sign on the dashboard, and a decal at the top of the windshield saying Wildrose. He parked on the grass and came out with a megaphone straight for us. Image
Mr. PPC here gave us three different sob stories about a cousin who relapsed into opioids, a brother-in-law who shot himself, and a third person I don't remember, who died.

Mr. PPC was very adamant (yet completely unclear) that all three deaths were a result of "the lockdown."

Today it was my turn to get vaccinated @Hopitaux_unige against #COVID19. Vaccines save lives. It’s critical to get them to all counties A.S.A.P. If like me you live in a country where vaccines are available, please get vaccinated when it’s your turn.
To make vaccines available to all who need them, governments, manufacturers and other stakeholders must commit to share and produce more doses of #COVID19 vaccines to protect everyone. #VaccinEquity
Glad to have the opportunity on #InternationalNursesDay to thank nurses at @Hopitaux_unige who have been working throughout the #COVID19 pandemic. My thanks, admiration and respect for all nurses all over the world. #SupportHealthCareWorkers

Today is #InternationalNursesDay. Nurses have been at the core of the #COVID19 response providing life-saving care and, in so many heartbreaking cases, they are there in the last moments of a person’s life. To nurses everywhere, thank you for your tireless commitment!
In this Year of the Health and Care Worker, the #COVID19 pandemic has reminded all of us how much we all depend on nurses, from our first day to our last, and why all countries must invest in nurses now and for the future. #InternationalNursesDay #SupportHealthCareWorkers
Nurses provide essential care in so many areas of our health systems, but we also need their skills and experience in leadership positions, including in senior roles for developing health policies and designing integrated patient-centred health services. #InternationalNursesDay

In #Zambia only 5 👂, 👃 & throat specialists & 1 audiologist serve a population of 17 million. Nurses like Carol Sinkende, who works in a clinic in a remote area of 🇿🇲, are fundamental in doing community outreach & raise awareness about hearing loss.

"This week, more than 25 leaders from the @g20org, @G7 and from every region, united behind the idea of a #PandemicTreaty"-@DrTedros

"There’s an acknowledgement and humility from those leaders that collectively the world was not prepared for the first coronavirus pandemic ever seen and that going forward we must collectively do better in future outbreaks"-@DrTedros #PandemicTreaty bit.ly/3u6XIl2
