.@DrTedros : I wish to be very clear: a public health emergency of international concern is the highest level of alarm under international law. | via @WHO
.@DrTedros : We continued to warn that the world had a narrow window of opportunity to prepare for and prevent a potential pandemic. One of the things we still need to understand is why some countries acted on those warnings, while others were slower to react. | via @WHO
.@DrTedros : We have come so far, we have suffered so much, and we have lost so many. We cannot – we must not – squander the progress we have made.
We have the tools to control the #COVID19 pandemic, but we can only do it if we use them consistently & equitably. | via @WHO

.@DrTedros : As you know, today is #InternationalWomensDay.
In many ways, women have suffered disproportionately from the #COVID19 pandemic. We have seen appalling increases in violence against women, and reduced access to services for sexual and reproductive health. | via @WHO

.@DrTedros : In relative terms, employment losses have been higher for women than for men.
Women have also borne an additional and disproportionate burden of care for children and older people.
But women have also been at the forefront of the #COVID19 response. | via @WHO

.@DrTedros : About 70% of all #healthworkers globally are women, and they have played a key role in delivering care and saving lives.
But although they make up the majority of the global health workforce, women only hold 25% of leadership roles in health. | via @WHO
