    Today The Foundation committed $20M to #COVID19 response, part of which will be used to develop or enhance data-science tools geared for rapid tracking and predicting the direction of a pandemic. These innovations are necessary for the current crisis and any outbreak to come.

    Yesterday, I had the pleasure of touring @WHO’s Berlin Hub for Pandemic and Epidemic Intelligence with @Chikwe_I. We are excited to work with the Hub to advance global access to disease surveillance systems for better, data-driven decisions at the first signs of an outbreak.

    The death of a mother during childbirth is an indication of systems failure. There is no magic bullet - Only hard work to strengthen health systems. Let's #EndMaternalMortality

    Today, we can applaud the first TB drug from non-profit @TBAlliance, borne out of collaboration that began in 2000. Proud to work alongside advocates at @RockefellerFdn who supported treatment of a particularly virulent form of multi-drug resistant TB. nyti.ms/2Z8Lw3u

    A crucial reminder from @RockefellerFdn Fellow @PeterMSmall1 that the last 18 inches of a medicine’s journey can be the most important. We’ve made huge strides in access, but still struggle to take meds on time. Simple, tailored interventions can work. bit.ly/2LtqrOJ

    Reflecting on #UNGA74, I'm optimistic for 3 reasons: youth, data & private sector involvement. I'm also encouraged by the adoption of the historic #UHC declaration – we must continue to invest in primary health care to achieve UHC & attain #SDG3.

    Maternal mortality rates continue to rise disproportionately among women of color. #ICYMI @SerenaWilliams‘s recent investment in @getmahmee is an important step in the right direction to utilize tech innovations to close gaps in maternal & infant care.
