Firstly, we worked on procuring vaccines to Europeans.

A broad portfolio was created and today more than 70% of the adult population is fully vaccinated.

#SOTEU

In the spirit of European solidarity, we mobilised funding to support:

🩺 the delivery of equipment, medicines, antigen tests
🔬 urgent research into variants

More than €7.6 billion was reallocated under the Coronavirus Response Investment Initiative.

The #G7 this weekend renounced its role as #globalhealth leader, @kentbuse and I argue in @bmj_latest: blogs.bmj.com/bmj/2021/06/13…

A thread on what next for global health & #healthsecurity.

Speaking at #G20 Rome #GlobalHealthSummit in May, German Chancellor #Merkel had raised the question, “if not us, who?” to end the global #Covid19 #pandemic.

At #G7UK this past weekend, #G7 responded with "Not us," committing to donate 870mn #vaccine doses when the need is 11bn.

@DrTedros

"When the #COVID19 pandemic erupted over a year ago, we faced a fundamental challenge:
We knew that 💉, rapid diagnostics & therapeutics were on the way, but we knew from experience that market forces alone would leave the 🌍’s poorest & most vulnerable people behind"-@DrTedros

@ACTAccelerator

"Today we can prevent #COVID19 anywhere with new vaccines.
We can detect it anywhere with new rapid tests.
We can save lives everywhere with oxygen & dexamethasone.
We have a unique mechanism for making these life-saving tools available everywhere: the @ACTAccelerator"-@DrTedros
