La confiance et l'engagement des communautés sont essentiels à une riposte efficace contre #Ebola. Les équipes de communication sur les risques et d'engagement communautaire de @WHO travaillent aux côtés des communautés en #RDC🇨🇩, en étant à leur écoute, en répondant à leurs préoccupations et en renforçant la confiance afin de soutenir une riposte plus humaine, inclusive et efficace.

Recovery is possible. With support from WHO-backed treatment services, Mohammad Ihsan overcame substance dependence, rebuilt his life, and helped inspire recovery within his family. #WorldDrugDay #RecoveryIsPossible @WHO @WHOEMRO @UNODC_COAFG @unafghanistan @UNAMAnews @DrEdwinCeniza @UN_News_Centre

The complexity of #Ebola response in #DRC demands close coordination across @UN system and humanitarian partners. Together with @UNReliefChief Tom Fletcher, I signed a joint letter to endorse the appointment of Julien Harneis (@julienmh) as a Senior Ebola Coordinator in Kinshasa.

As the #DRC battles an Ebola outbreak caused by the Bundibugyo virus, WHO's updated filovirus disease guidelines — covering all Ebola and Marburg virus types — are designed for frontline health workers. The recommendations cover early detection of deterioration, dehydration and shock management, patient monitoring, safe delivery of critical supportive interventions, and structured follow-up for patients who have recovered from Ebola and Marburg. #StandWithScience

True. War makes fighting Ebola so much harder, blocking access, scattering contacts, and driving people into hiding out of fear and mistrust. Yet responders show up every day, risking their lives to both the virus and the violence. They need our continued support.

Congratulations, @BoehmeCatharina, on your next role as the @UNFPA Deputy Executive Director. While we will miss you greatly at @WHO, the UNFPA will benefit from your longstanding leadership in global health. Thank you for your continued dedication to the #HealthForAll mission.

Contact tracing in the #DRC is reaching more people, and more #Ebola patients are recovering and going home. But the fight is far from over. War and insecurity still slow the response, and mistrust is the real battleground. Win trust, and we win this.

Thank you @ENHYPEN Jay and Jungwon for donating blood. I am proud of your commitment and for leading by example. I'm grateful to all members of #ENHYPEN for supporting our World Blood Donor Day campaign. Blood is the most precious gift that anyone can give to another person – the gift of life: bit.ly/FAQBloodDonation

Every time I meet with young people, the priority health issue they raise with me is mental health. That's why I was grateful that Veronika Novotná shared with me the “Global Youth Call to Action on Mental Health”. I look forward to reviewing it with my team and supporting it in every way we can. I also invited these inspiring creators from across the European Union to engage with the @WHOYouthCouncil and help shape the future of global health. But there is another issue that will define their generation: pandemic preparedness. No young person should relive the collective trauma we all endured from COVID-19. So I asked them to do one thing: tell the story of the Pandemic Agreement to their communities. The Agreement only works if countries join it. Their voices can help make that happen.

Many thanks @DrTedros for the warm welcome at @WHO today and for taking the time to answer questions and engage in an inspiring discussion with our group of European content creators. They truly appreciated the exchange. You can count on #TeamEurope 🇪🇺!

Our young European content creators visited @WHO today to learn more about the organization's vital work on global health. They were in for a special surprise: @DrTedros personally welcomed them at the entrance & took the time to answer their questions. 🙏🙏for the warm welcome!

At this week's 2026 Jeju Forum for Peace and Prosperity, @WHO leaders @DrTedros, WHO Director-General, and Dr @SamaanGina, WHO Regional Emergency Director for the Western Pacific, addressed a critical question: How do we reinvent cooperation in a fragmented world? Country examples shared at the Forum indicate that the answer may lie in an unlikely sector: #PublicHealth. In the Asia-Pacific region, Timor-Leste has long illustrated how health and peace are two sides of the same coin. A once fragile, post-conflict state with limited systems and resources, Timor-Leste today is #MalariaFree. Through political commitment, multilateral cooperation, and community trust, the country has met many of its health and political security goals.

Pleased to meet Minister of Health Zsolt Hegedüs to discuss preparedness for outbreaks like Hantavirus & Ebola, access to medical countermeasures & Hungary’s strong engagement with @EC_HERA. Hungary’s leadership in wastewater surveillance strengthens Europe’s health security.

🇪🇪 Aitäh 🇫🇮 Kiitos 🇫🇷 Merci 🇩🇪 Danke 🇬🇷 Ευχαριστώ 🇮🇹 Grazie 🇱🇻 Paldies 🇵🇱 Dziękuję 🇵🇹 Obrigado 🇪🇸 Gracias 🇨🇿 Děkuji 🇳🇱 Dank je Thank you, @EU_UNGeneva, for bringing these talented young creators to @WHO today. It was a pleasure to welcome them, and I hope this visit inspires them to keep telling stories about global health and to come back again soon.

Under the #DRC government’s leadership, the coordinated #Ebola response to the outbreak is starting to take hold. But continued scale up is needed, across all areas and functions. @WHO and partners are working with the government and affected communities to begin clinical trials for therapeutics, to test candidates for safety and efficacy, so patients can have higher chances of recovery

My deepest condolences to those who have lost loved ones in the deadly earthquakes in #Venezuela. The health needs are growing as the response evolves, including for mass casualty management, injury and trauma care, and support for health facilities impacted by power cuts. @pahowho teams are in close touch with the responders and on standby to deploy additional staff, to provide medical supplies needed to treat the injured and mitigate disruptions in health service delivery. bbc.com/news/live/c621z18wzn…

Venezuela activated the EU Civil Protection Mechanism. Our @eu_echo is now coordinating the international response. Spain, Italy and the Czech Republic immediately offered assistance & will be sending rescue teams. This is what European solidarity looks like.
