#ClimateActionNow . Somalia is bearing the brunt of the #ClimateEmergency . It has become the major driver of poverty, displacement and health inequality in the country. This is an existential threat to the economy and social fabric of the country.

This is unbearable, tragic and horrifying. No words to condole and console. This horror must stop now.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the top 10 global public health threats facing humanity. It can affect anyone, anywhere, at any age.

Preventing backslide of routine immunization will ‘Make Polio History’. We have the means to #EndPolio . #WorldPolioDay

#Frontline heroes. Thank you for keeping the world safer.

The #WorldPolioDay reminds us of our unfinished tasks and challenges ahead ! Stopping the polio outbreak anywhere is a moral imperative if we want an equal opportunity for all children everywhere! #EndPolio is not a slogan, it is a global call for action implemented locally.

The goal of #EndPolio is within reach. What we need is quality campaign and scaled-up vaccination in the under-immunized communities who are also most marginalized and excluded. Ending polio also means ending vaccine inequity. #WorldPolioDay

This outbreak can be stopped, and every child can be prevented from being paralyzed if we improve routine immunization and reach all 'unreached' children with a drop of polio virus. We can do it and 'Make Polio History' forever in this country.
