Beninese pop star Miss Espoir knows exactly what polio can do. She’s lived with its effects since childhood. Now a well-known musician in Benin, she uses her voice to remind parents that polio is still a real, but preventable, threat.
Here’s how she’s using her own story of surviving polio to answer questions and build trust with families: bit.ly/4vAJQPN #EndPolio #WorldPolioDay

Measles is often thought of as a childhood illness. But in rare cases, its consequences can emerge years later.

In 2000, as many as one in four children in Sierra Leone were not expected to make it to their fifth birthday.
This led authorities to set a hugely ambitious target for the country:
0️⃣ preventable maternal deaths
0️⃣ preventable child deaths
0️⃣ zero-dose children
Here’s where things stand more than two thirds of the way into its 300-day “Triple Zero” campaign: bit.ly/4yK0JJT

At #WHS2026, I spoke about the importance of global solidarity in an unequal world.
As some donors step back, my deep thanks go to 🇩🇪 Germany for stepping up its support for @UNAIDS and helping sustain the HIV response at a critical moment.
Today our largest office in the world is in Germany. 🙏🏾
We need more of this shared commitment if we want to end AIDS as a public health threat.

When communities face stigma and marginalisation, they will be left behind. I agree with @HelenClarkNZ, our health systems haven't been built to serve all people. We must design our health systems to be truly inclusive, providing services for diverse communities and informed by people’s lived experiences. #WHS2026

2025 put health systems under enormous pressure, from conflict and climate shocks to rising debt and unprecedented cuts to development assistance.
Yet amid that historic uncertainty, countries continued to expand protection against preventable disease, reach more children and invest more of their own resources in immunisation.
Gavi’s latest Annual Progress Report captures the scale of that progress, and the work that still lies ahead.

The Big Catch Up immunised 21 million children across 36 countries between 2023 and 2026. This included millions who had never previously received a vaccine.
It's an extraordinary achievement. But the obvious next question is: what comes next?
A new review of the initiative highlights eight lessons for helping countries continue to find and reach children who miss out: bit.ly/4d7R3QO

A major new study of 3.7 million people by Sweden’s @karolinskainst suggests that some cases of autism and other neurodevelopmental conditions could be linked to infections passed from mothers to their babies.
This means that, by preventing severe infections and inflammation in pregnant mothers, vaccines may help lower key risks for conditions like autism.

My friends, you crossed oceans and helped build nations. You sent money home and taught your children to love a country some had never seen.
That love must never end with one generation.
We are moving to extend citizenship by descent to the great-grandchildren of Bajans. They, too, must have the choice to come home.
So bring the children. Bring the grandchildren. Let them walk where their grandparents walked. Let them feel the love behind the stories.
To our family in Toronto and across the world, you are ours. We are yours. There will always be a place for you here.
One people. One Barbados. Bajan to the bone.
