Reaching and protecting #zerodosechildren takes bold strategies. I commend Mozambique for setting out an ambitious plan to reach more than 750,000 unimmunised children in 2024. Proud that @Gavi’s partnership will support this vision:

This year, we will mark 20 years since the 🇪🇺 biggest enlargement!

On 1st  May 2004, our EU family became even stronger and more inclusive when 10 new countries joined our Union – a great moment for our continent and a great moment in history.

With the death of Jacques Delors, former President of the European Commission, with whom I had the honor of collaborating, we have lost an extraordinary leader.
He combined the 'small steps' of European integration with the ideal of a united Europe. Thank you, dear Jacques!

Avec le décès de Jacques Delors, ancien Président de la Commission Européenne, avec qui j'ai eu l'honneur de collaborer, nous perdons un leader extraordinaire. Il combinait les 'petits pas' de l'intégration européenne avec l'idéal d'une Europe unie. Merci, cher Jacques!

Com a morte de Jacques Delors, ex Presidente da Comissão Europeia, com quem tive a honra e o prazer de colaborar em várias ocasiões, perdemos um extraordinário líder. Ele combinava os “pequenos passos” da integração europeia com o ideal de uma Europa unida. Merci, cher Jacques!

Thank you Dr Zaeem Ul Haq - a moving account underlining why the @Gavi Board approved a US$ 1 billion initiative to help boost vaccine manufacturing across Africa. As you rightly say, it 'will not only save lives but also bolster its economy': bit.ly/41lzlCb

To all friends near and far who are celebrating Christmas Eve tonight —may the spirit of the season fill your homes with health, joy and love, and your hearts with peace. #MerryChristmas

It was a joy for the @Gavi Board to be hosted in Ghana, where I was privileged to hear about the country's impressive improvements in immunisation over the past two decades. Highly recommend this video about Ghana's journey: bit.ly/4aes9Ma

It was a pleasure to participate in the Center for Global Development event 'What Does the Future of Global Health Financing Look Like?' alongside Dr. Patrick Aboagye, Bjørg Sandkjær, Dr. Mercy Mwangangi, and Nidda Sofia Yusuf. Special thanks to Javier Guzman for skillfully moderating an insightful conversation.

Responding quickly with vaccines to curb multiple disease outbreaks in the face of climate disasters and other crises, Mozambique's health system is resilient. My @Gavi colleagues are in Maputo discussing how we can continue bolstering this resilience: bit.ly/488WauY

Powerful words. The African Vaccine Manufacturing Accelerator will not only help improve resilience to pandemics and disease outbreaks but strengthen economic opportunities for generations on the African continent. Thank you Jean Kaseya.

.@Gavi is supporting the The African Union to boost Africa’s vaccine manufacturing industry, strong enough to supply 60% of the vaccines needed on the continent by 2040. Great piece on the new financing instrument approved by the Board to help make it happen: bit.ly/3Nels2z

As we closed the @Gavi Board meeting, we helped open a new era for vaccines, approving a new financing instrument to make up to US$ 1 billion available to incentivise vaccine manufacturing in Africa. Proud day as Gavi Board Chair: bit.ly/46IQPt3
