LIVE: @DrTedros’ remarks at the @EU_Commission Health Policy Forum twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
“I will start with the good news, because I got a Christmas gift earlier
today, and this is the 🇪🇺 contribution to universal health coverage, in
the amount of €125 million. We just came from signing with
Commissioner @JuttaUrpilainen”-@DrTedros
“This will help us to advance universal health coverage, especially
with a strong foundation of primary health care”-@DrTedros #HealthForAll
“The new 🇪🇺 Global Health Strategy comes at a critical time, as our 🌍 faces so many threats to health:
from continuing #COVID19 pandemic to the silent pandemics of noncommunicable diseases & antimicrobial resistance; conflicts; rising inequality; & the #ClimateCrisis”-@DrTedros Image
“Each of these challenges transcends borders, sectors, languages,
ethnicities and political divides. No single country or organization can deal with them in isolation. Which is why multilateralism is more important than ever”-@DrTedros Image
“In recent years, the 🇪🇺 and its Member States have played a vital leadership role in global health, through internal cooperation and working towards a genuine European Health Union, and by external cooperation and solidarity”-@DrTedros Image
“I’m grateful to #TeamEurope for its decisive contribution to the 🌍 response to #COVID19. The 🇪🇺 has been a driving force behind the @ACTAccelerator & remains one of the largest funders of #COVAX, providing 💉 to 150+ countries, along with critical investments in R&D”-@DrTedros Image
“I also thank the 🇪🇺 for its leadership in strengthening the global health security architecture for pandemic preparedness, prevention and response, incl. through the #PandemicAccord,
and for being at the forefront of the establishment of the Pandemic Fund”-@DrTedros Image
“I’m pleased to see that the strategy’s key priorities are well aligned with WHO’s 5 priorities for global heath:

For promoting health and preventing disease;

For providing health, through strong primary health care as the foundation of universal health coverage…”-@DrTedros Image
“…For protecting health, through an enhanced 🌍 architecture for
health emergency preparedness, response and resilience;

For powering health, by harnessing science, research, innovation,
data and digital technologies…”-@DrTedros Image
“…For performing for health, by building a stronger and
sustainably-financed WHO”-@DrTedros Image
“The #COVID19 pandemic is a powerful demonstration that when health is at risk, everything is at risk. But when health is promoted, provided and protected, it creates the conditions for individuals, families, communities, economies and nations to thrive”-@DrTedros Image

Congratulations to Ministry of Food and Drug Safety @TheMFDS, Republic of Korea🇰🇷, to have achieved maturity level 4, the highest level in WHO’s classification of regulatory authorities for medical products bit.ly/3EMDELY Image
WHO’s assessment of regulatory authorities is based on an evaluation tool that checks regulatory functions against a set of over 260 indicators, e.g. product authorization, testing of products, market surveillance and the ability to detect adverse effects bit.ly/3EMDELY Image
Only about 30% of the world’s regulatory authorities have the capacity to ensure medicines, vaccines and other health products are produced to required standards, work as intended and do not harm patients bit.ly/3EMDELY Image
