Here in the heart of the Amazon, the lungs of the earth, we are reminded that healthy people depend on a healthy planet.

I am at #COP30 Belem Summit, calling on leaders to make health a formal topic in the UN climate negotiations.

Because the #ClimateCrisis is a health crisis.

Yesterday, @who.int evacuated 19 critically ill patients and 93 companions from #Gaza to #Italy for specialised medical care.

We urge more countries to receive patients from Gaza, as over 16,500 people still need urgent medical care that is not available in the Strip.

I thank Her Excellency First Lady Olena Zelenska for her leadership on #MentalHealth and for launching the All-Ukrainian Mental Health Programme.

#Ukraine’s experience is shaping global policy, including the World Health Assembly resolution on mental health and psychosocial support in emergencies.

Aid cuts didn't create global health financing emergency but have exposed long-standing vulnerabilities, threatening progress towards #HealthForAll.

@who.int guidance provides recommendations on how to shift toward sustainable, domestically-financed & self-reliant health systems: bit.ly/4oOVVgX

Last week, @who.int evacuated five patients and five companions to the #Netherlands, for the first time.

We thank 🇳🇱 and 🇪🇺 for their generosity and solidarity.

We call on more countries to receive patients from #Gaza and provide them with the urgent medical care they need.

On #WorldCitiesDay, @who.int launches a new guide for decision-makers to meet the demand for integrated urban health solutions.

I call on leaders to adopt a more strategic approach to improve the health of billions of city-dwellers, & to make urban areas more livable, more just & more sustainable.

Climate inaction is claiming millions of lives every year, warns @thelancet.com Countdown report.

As we prepare for #COP30, @who.int calls on leaders to support the Belém Health Action Plan & strengthen:
-surveillance & early warning
-workforce capacity
-engagement with the affected communities

Unity is the basis for any success.

Deeply grateful to #Mozambique's President Daniel Francisco Chapo for recognizing @who.int's efforts to unite the world around our #HealthForAll mission.

Unity and peace are the answers in these turbulent times.

The 42-day countdown towards the end of the #Ebola outbreak in the #DRC started last Monday. If no further cases are confirmed, the outbreak will be declared over in early December.

Meanwhile, the measures need to be maintained so that we are ready to respond to any new cases.

Little Maria is one of the seven patients from #Gaza, who arrived in #Switzerland for specialised medical care needed to treat their injuries. They arrived with 27 companions.

The patients and companions were evacuated from Gaza yesterday by @who.int.

I thank 🇨🇭 for their generosity and solidarity.

A special honour to celebrate #Kazakhstan’s Republic Day with my grandchildren, sharing in their heritage through Kazakh culture and art in Geneva.

Proud of their roots and the rich traditions they carry forward.

Қазақстан Республикасының 35 жылдығымен құттықтаймыз!

We are on the verge of making #polio the second human disease to be consigned to history.  

Decades ago, humanity bridged geopolitical and geographic borders to end smallpox.

Let's do the same for polio.

Let's finish the job.

#WorldPolioDay

Two years of hostilities in #Gaza have doubled the need for #mentalhealth support.

@who.int is helping scale up mental health services and has delivered medication for over one million people so far.

To truly meet people’s needs, the ceasefire must hold and lasting peace must be achieved.
