Syria’s MOH, @WHOSyria and @UNICEFinSyria are conducting a Big Catchup campaign during #WorldImmunizationWeek to offer children polio and other vaccines. This is the kind of action needed to build a world where fewer children than ever are disabled or die of preventable illnesses

Thank you @melindagates and @DrTedros for this great collaboration. We witness a significant return on investments made in polio eradication efforts when we see healthy children enjoying their childhood & empowered women in our workforce contributing to the health of the society.

Ending polio is becoming more and more of a reality across the @WHOEMRO Region and the world. Strong momentum, collaboration, vaccination, robust disease surveillance and working to address access can make this a reality. It’s #HumanlyPossible to #MakePolioHistory!
Incredible to see #Sudan roll out its first polio vaccination campaign since its conflict started– to deliver nOPV2 to children in the Red Sea State during #WorldImmunizationWeek 2024. This campaign will prevent further spread of the ongoing variant poliovirus outbreak.

Impressive to see digital influencers like @mominsaqib making big strides for eradication efforts in the online world - helping communities understand the benefits of polio vaccines. #VaccinesWork

Thank you Excellency @DrAliHajiadam for your leadership and the update on government’s plans and commitment to stop the cVDPV2 polio outbreak and provide essential vaccines to all children in Somalia. WHO and all GPEI partners are committed to supporting these efforts.

A year of conflict in #Sudan has created one of the world’s biggest child displacement crises. I commend Sudan’s health workers for their efforts to strive to search for poliovirus and deliver vaccines to prevent polio and other childhood diseases against this backdrop.
Indeed, we have never been better equipped to stamp out many preventable diseases - including #polio. We are facing complex challenges in our @WHOEMRO Region, but with collective action, it is possible to #EndPolio. @HananBalkhy

Thanks to @AyeshaRaza13 and @MichaelGalway1 for the insightful discussions we had recently about strategies in use to #MakePolioHistory in #Pakistan. It is not an easy feat but together, we can do it.

Today, #Sudan’s Federal Ministry of Health with @WHO and @UNICEFSudan launched a #polio #vaccination campaign in Red Sea State targeting 0-5 year old children integrated with Vit A supplement for 6-59 month olds. 🇸🇩 #VaccinesWork
Somalia is taking measures to #MakePolioHistory and boost child health, including by rolling out the Big Catch-up vaccination campaign. Strong leadership at federal and state levels is critical to ensure these efforts are equitable. shar.es/agqVaE
Access to health care is a basic human right. But for too many in our Region, this right remains out of reach. Without access to health care, our right to life is compromised. Together, we can rewrite the narrative of health care inequality. #WorldHealthDay #MyHealthMyRight
With wild poliovirus families shrinking from 13 in 2020 to two, we have made extraordinary progress, thanks to GPEI partners. However, we still need collective and urgent action to cross unique last-mile barriers in #Afghanistan and #Pakistan to #MakePolioHistory
This is the the first Subcommittee meeting convened by Dr @HananBalkhy in her capacity as the Regional Director for the Eastern Mediterranean.
My sincere condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of Engineer Emad Shehab, a dedicated team member from @WHOSyria who lost his life on Tuesday morning in Deir-ez-Zor City when his building was struck during a series of airstrikes.
@HananBalkhy @Dr_HamidJafari @EndPolioNow @Rotary @gatesfoundation @MOPHQatar @nhsrcofficial @UNICEF "We have phenomenal examples of regional solidarity when it comes to polio financing, support for disease surveillance and laboratory testing, and cross-border collaboration for immunization, case notification & other essential functions of the polio programme." -Dr @HananBalkhy

@HananBalkhy @Dr_HamidJafari @EndPolioNow @Rotary @gatesfoundation @MOPHQatar @nhsrcofficial @UNICEF "One of my key priorities as your Regional Director is to strengthen our region’s public health capacities so that you have all the tools not only to end transmission of polio, but to ensure that #polio can indeed never make a comeback." - Dr @HananBalkhy
@HananBalkhy @Dr_HamidJafari @EndPolioNow @Rotary @gatesfoundation @MOPHQatar @nhsrcofficial @UNICEF "I genuinely believe ending polio is within our reach.
