"Over the last week, #COVID19 cases have risen in four out of the six WHO regions. Due to testing and sequencing reducing in many countries, it is increasingly difficult to know where the virus is and how it’s mutating"-@DrTedros
"The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea has announced, through their state media, their first outbreak of #COVID19, with more than 1.4 million suspected cases since late April"-@DrTedros

More than 2.5 billion people - or 1 in 3 people - need one or more assistive products, such as wheelchairs, hearing aids, or apps that support communication and cognition: New WHO & @UNICEF report bit.ly/3Ngnf54
Almost one billion children & adults with disabilities and older persons in need of assistive technology are denied access, particularly in low- & middle-income countries, where access can be as low as 3% of the need for these life-changing products bit.ly/3Ngnf54 A purple coloured slide wit...
The report notes that the number of people in need of one or more assistive products is likely to rise to 3.5 billion by 2050, due to populations ageing and the prevalence of noncommunicable diseases rising across the world

The total number of deaths associated with #COVID19 worldwide from 2020-2021 may be closer to 14.9 million: New estimates by WHO & @UNDESA.

That’s 9.5 million more deaths than reported bit.ly/38SJIpM #HealthData
Excess mortality is calculated as the difference between the number of deaths that have occurred & the number that would be expected in the absence of the #COVID19 pandemic bit.ly/3yh0D06 #HealthData
Excess mortality includes:
1️⃣ deaths due to #COVID19 itself
2️⃣ deaths due to the pandemic’s impact – attributable to other health conditions for which people were unable to access prevention & treatment because health systems were overburdened by the pandemic

LIVE: @DrTedros' address at the High-Level International Donors’ Conference for #Ukraine twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
"It’s often said that the 1st casualty of war is truth. The same saying could apply to health. The disruption of health services across #Ukraine has been catastrophic, compounded by displacement & millions of people remain trapped in conflict areas, unable to move"-@DrTedros
@DrTedros "This puts services and infrastructure, and the health of millions of people, at severe risk. The resilience of any health system is defined not by its buildings, but its people – those who deliver care even in the most extreme circumstances"-@DrTedros

It's the International Day of the #Midwife!

Midwives do not just attend births.
They also provide antenatal & postnatal care & a range of sexual & reproductive health services, incl. family planning, detecting & treating sexually transmitted infections bit.ly/2SdGnHq
There is a global shortage of health workers, in particular nurses and midwives, who represent more than 50% of the shortage.
The largest shortages are in South East Asia and Africa bit.ly/3821bMs
Support our midwives: They are critical health workers.
Investment in their education and training is vital to ensuring #HealthForAll bit.ly/3vByoaG
