WHO is working to track down the animal reservoir of the #COVID19 virus. Understanding how an epidemic began is essential to preventing further introductions to the human population. bit.ly/3mVER96
In May, the #WHA73 passed a resolution tasking WHO, @OIEAnimalHealth, @FAO and countries, as part of the One Health Approach, with identifying the zoonotic source of the #COVID19 virus and the route of introduction to humans. bit.ly/3l9a5Jm
@OIEAnimalHealth @FAO Given the scale and complexity of the #COVID19 pandemic, a sustained set of investigations in #China and elsewhere is needed to find the intermediate host(s) and virus origins.
"In the summer, Africa was certified as wild #polio free. This marked one of the greatest public health achievements of all time"-@DrTedros #EndPolio
"Driven by millions of #healthworkers reaching every child repeatedly with an effective vaccine and a unique partnership between WHO, @UNICEF, @Rotary, @CDCgov, the @gatesfoundation and @gavi – global polio eradication remains achievable"-@DrTedros #EndPolio
WHO’s 3 messages to the resumed World Health Assembly #WHA73: 1. We can beat #COVID19 with science, solutions and solidarity 2. We must not backslide on our critical health goals 3. We must prepare for the next pandemic now #WHA73 bit.ly/34ZVQkz
With more than 47M reported cases and 1.2M deaths, #COVID19 is a sobering reminder that health is the foundation of social, economic and political stability.
The World Health Assembly is the decision-making body of WHO, attended by member state delegations, whose main function is to determine WHO policies. Next week’s #WHA73 agenda can be found here: bit.ly/2TY81bi

2. United Nations' David Kaye on #WHA73:
"There is especially good reason for the WHO .... I am not sure the resolution the World Health Assembly adopted on Tuesday will provide the basis for the kind of scrutiny the pandemic demands."

Regular #covid19 presser @WHO starts with @drtedros talking about World Health Assembly which ended yesterday (and was held virtually for the first time): "We saw unprecedented solidarity”, he says then thanks a long list of presidents and prime ministers for taking part.
"Yesterday, we concluded a very productive #WHA73.
We saw unprecedented solidarity with Heads of Government from around the world beaming into the World Health Assembly to discuss lessons, challenges and collective next steps to tackle the #COVID19 pandemic"-@DrTedros
