💭 Spotted on our GHS2026 reflection wall:
"Insanity is doing the same things over and over and expecting different results."
A line that applies to nearly every conversation in global health security right now. The threats are evolving. Our response has to as well.

💬 "The solutions will not come from any single discipline, any single institution or any single country."

A message that still holds as we look toward GHS2028.

It's been a 100 days since the declaration of the Ebola outbreak in DR Congo.
More than 50 organizations are working alongside the Government to stop Ebola.
See inside an Ebola treatment centre with @ALIMAong, @WHO, @WFP, @croix_rouge_rdc, @UNICEF & @MinSanteRDC.

Africa CDC, CEMAC and @WHOAFRO convened a high-level cross-border consultation bringing together the Central African Republic, DRC, Republic of the Congo, South Sudan and Uganda to strengthen regional preparedness against Bundibugyo Virus Disease.
From stronger surveillance and information sharing to coordinated action at borders and deeper community engagement, the message was clear: health security is a shared responsibility.

The fight against malaria is a race against a moving target.
3 challenges scientists are tackling now:
Mosquitoes are changing their biting times.
An invasive species is bringing malaria to cities.
Constant surveillance is our best defense.

100 days into the Ebola outbreak, trust remains one of the most important tools in the response.
In this community health worker’s own words, people respond differently. Some listen. Others doubt that Ebola exists or believe their symptoms come from another illness.
That is why community health workers matter. They explain the risks, challenge misinformation, encourage people to seek care early and connect families with health services. Stopping Ebola starts in communities, through people they know and trust.
Community by community. Case by case. Chain by chain.

📌Final Day of #GHS2026
On the final day of the Global Health Security Conference in Kuala Lumpur, Prof. Tshilidzi Marwala (@tmarwala), Rector of the United Nations University and United Nations Under-Secretary-General, participated in the session “Future of Multilateralism in Global Health Security”, moderated by Dr. Revati Phalkey (@RPhalkey), Director of @UNU_IIGH.
In his keynote remarks, Prof. Marwala reflected on the future of multilateral cooperation in a period marked by geopolitical fragmentation, fiscal constraints, and intersecting global crises. While acknowledging that multilateralism is increasingly contested, he stressed that it remains essential for addressing global health threats, noting that global health security represents one of the clearest tests of whether multilateralism can be renewed for the twenty-first century.
He emphasized that national capacity and international cooperation are mutually reinforcing, and highlighted that translating commitments into preparedness, trust, and effective response will be critical. Looking ahead, he argued that the future of multilateralism in global health security must be “fairer, faster, and more distributed,” ensuring equitable access, more timely and coordinated responses, and stronger linkages across national, regional, and global systems.
The discussion also brought together diverse perspectives on the future of global health security. Prof. Dato’ Dr. Sufian Jusoh, Vice-Chancellor, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (@ukm_my), contributed the academic perspective, Duncan Selbie, President, International Association of National Public Health Institutes (@IANPHIhealth), shared insights from national public health institutes, Dr. Baba Soumare, Deputy Director General, @WOAH, highlighted the importance of One Health and animal health approaches, and Chee Yoke Ling, Executive Director, Third World Network (@3rdworldnetwork), provided the civil society perspective.
Together, the panel explored how multilateral cooperation can adapt and remain effective in an increasingly complex and interconnected world.

Health emergencies often reveal both the strengths and vulnerabilities of existing systems. While outbreaks may be temporary, the lessons they leave behind should shape long-term investments in people, institutions, and partnerships.
Building resilient health systems requires continuous commitment, because preparedness is not defined by how we respond to a crisis, but by what we put in place before the next one emerges.

A phenomenal convening - truly grateful to have participated and the opportunity to represent @GHS_Network while moderating a panel on biosurveillance with colleagues from Australian CDC, @CDCgov, @WHOWPRO, @DeptofWar. The mil-civ partnerships are vital to strengthening global health security and ensuring their sustainability in mitigating biothreats.
Health security is national security. The #IPhas Summit convenes June 7–8 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia — bringing together defense forces, health leaders and humanitarian partners to strengthen Indo-Pacific resilience. #USINDOPACOM #IPhasSummit #HealthSecurity

Thanks to colleagues representing @WHO & turning preparedness commitments into action at #GHS2026
Global health security cannot be built project-by-project, it requires long-term investment in country-owned capacities
@WHO remains committed to supporting countries through this

Today is August 9, a day the world remembers the atomic bomb that exploded over Nagasaki, Japan on that day in 1945. Visiting Nagasaki this year was a profound experience, left me with memories I can never forget on the fragility of our existence & responsibilties of leadership

Uganda has stopped Ebola outbreak in its tracks, here's why it worked:
1- Fast detection and response, meeting the 7-1-7 global targets for early detection, notification, and action.
2- Reviewing the response while still active, to identify and address gaps in real time, not after
3- Strong coordination across government, Africa CDC, partners, and neighbouring countries
Uganda’s experience is a reminder that early action saves lives. Strong public health systems stop outbreaks, protect communities, and strengthen preparedness for future health threats.
