Proud of the GOARN network & its frontline heroes. We have together responded to emergencies & built capacity around the globe for 20 years. No organization, no country can manage every emergency by themselves. Together we are stronger. #GOARN2020 #OneWorldOneResponse #IamGOARN

I'm devastated by the loss of my dear friend, colleague and mentor @PeteSalama, and heartbroken for his family. The global public health community has lost one of our best - a true leader who inspired with his curiosity, openness and professionalism. Pete is irreplaceable.

Boots back on the ground in #DRC on a short but intense visit to Butembo, Mabalako, Mangina and Beni. Meeting with partners and the WHO team to see how we are driving forward public health operations in this #Ebola response.

Thank you #Kuwait 🇰🇼 for continued support to the Contingency Fund for Emergencies, which enables @WHO to respond quickly to health emergencies and save lives. In 2019 WHO responded within 48 hours to 27 emergencies using this critical funding mechanism.

Frontline responders are the heroes of the #Ebola response in #DRC, They are the lifeblood of this response. I salute and admire them for their determination & their courage.

Preparedness is key. Vaccination of health workers against #Ebola continues in Rwanda. 500+ health & frontline workers have been vaccinated. Uganda & South Sudan also vaccinating, along with enhancing surveillance, diagnostic services, community engagement, clinical care & IPC.

Following another senseless attack on civilians in eastern #DRC on Wednesday, #Ebola response operations were suspended in Beni and disrupted in Butembo today. This is a double tragedy for the civilians there, as gains against Ebola could be lost if this violence continues.

Deeply troubled by developments in #DRC. We have seen these violent events not only traumatize communities and responders but also expand the #Ebola outbreak. Our teams cannot reach contacts or potential patients when access is limited.

In #DRC with our incredible #Ebola response colleagues working with partners and local health workers. Concrete progress in places like Mangina/Mabalako and Beni but still have active transmission in Mambasa, Mandima, Oicha and Komanda.

Grateful to @DrTedros and @MoetiTshidi for representing all WHO staff, and being with Richard’s family on the day he will be laid to rest. We say goodbye with heavy hearts but are determined to honour his memory in everything we do to serve the vulnerable.

It is with a heavy heart and enormous sadness that @MoetiTshidi and I have arrived in #Cameroon to share the grief with the family of Dr Richard Mouzoko at his passing. We are extending our deepest condolences on behalf of all @WHO staff.

Thank you to Germany for the €3 million towards the @WHO Contingency Fund for Emergencies. These funds help us manage emergencies such as outbreaks around the world, including #Ebola in #DRC.

3 Million Euro für den Kampf gegen #Ebola – Gesundheitsminister @jensspahn sagt dem Notfallfonds der @WHO zusätzliche Mittel zu. Denn Seuchen wie Ebola kennen keine Grenzen. Deshalb stellt sich Deutschland der Verantwortung, in Krisen zu helfen.
