For my next Forbes piece, I'm thinking about lessons we have learnt from Dr Paul Farmer @PIH What is the biggest learning you've had? Mine are in the slide below 👇🏾

We recently shared that we’ve joined forces with @gavi to develop youth-centered behavior change communication to create demand for vaccination amongst young people. This project will also address the gender barriers that limit vaccine uptake. Read more: buff.ly/3T1kwix

Really proud of this partnership, which is also launching in Burkina Faso and scaling in Senegal! #vaccineswork

In partnership with @gavi and Côte d’Ivoire's Ministry of Health, @ParsylHQ devices are currently being deployed to monitor #vaccines throughout Côte d’Ivoire's in-country #supplychain. Go team, go! Learn more at hubs.la/Q01ln4gb0.

This is really tragic. He was such a force for good. The world is a bit darker today. It’s up to us to carry forward his legacy and create a better world.

#BREAKING: Dr Paul Farmer, a renowned American physician and co-founder of Partners in Health @PIH, has died aged 62. Farmer was a receipt of the National Order of Outstanding Friendship (Igihango), which he was conferred upon by President #Kagame in August 2019.

Absolutely heartbreaking news. Paul Farmer was an inspiration to so many of us working in global health.

Devastating news. Paul Farmer gave everything—everything—to others. He saw the worst, and yet did all he could to bring out the best in everyone he encountered. Indefatigable, mischievous, generous, brilliant, soulful, skeptical, idealistic, beloved. A giant.

It has been a week since @NoorAbdisalan wrote this impactful piece in @PLOSGPH I've given it a lot of thought. I hope that many #globalhealth orgs have done the same. journals.plos.org/globalpubliche… 1. Can we agree that the need to insist on "country ownership" in 2022 is very sad?

#COVAX has reached the historic milestone of delivering it’s one billionth dose. We’re proud of this progress, but our focus is on the challenges ahead. The global response to #Omicron and the demand for booster doses threatens to once again disrupt global vaccine supplies.

Today marks an important milestone in our fight against #malaria. I’m delighted that @JMDBarroso & the rest of the @Gavi Board has approved funding to roll out the world’s first malaria vaccine across sub-Saharan Africa! bit.ly/3rw77EU

Ensuring #vaccinequity is the only way to stop the emergence of new variants like #omicron. The global vaccine divide only serves to allows the virus to spread and mutate, leaving us all at risk. My take for @TIMEbit.ly/3D6JF32


My good friend Max has been quietly building a new way for people to interact online, bringing back true connection and purpose to social media. I'm really excited to see this launch and recommend you check it out!

Recently, I have been involved in global health discussions on country ownership of their public health response. Here are some of the lessons I have learned in my 20 yrs of country support.

Delighted to announce that we have put pen to paper on a deal with @Moderna that will make up to half a billion doses of their COVID-19 vaccine available to #COVAX. As continuing global supply issues prove, having a diverse portfolio is absolutely vital. bit.ly/337sQFN

We’re delighted to welcome significant pledges for #COVAX from Germany, the European Union, the United States and others! bit.ly/2NlGnVR

We must do everything possible to reduce the circulation of #COVID19 and delay mutations that may reduce the efficacy of existing vaccines. This means vaccinating high-risk groups Read the full #COVAX statement on the new variants: bit.ly/2YYaS6w @CEPIvaccines @WHO

#COVID19 vaccines were developed in record time by speeding up scientific and regulatory processes and making them more efficient, as well as through at-risk manufacturing. This incredible feat sets an example for future vaccine development and clinical trials:


Want to contribute to the @gavi #COVAX Advanced Market Commitment, to ensure equitable access to #COVID19 vaccines? Thanks to our partner @TransferWise, you can donate from any currency and forget about the usual fees.

We’re waiving fees in donations to key organisations fighting the virus, starting with @unfoundation, @CEPIvaccines and @gavi Because coronavirus is our fight. All of ours, the whole world’s. And this is no time to let borders get in the way of us working together.

.@gavi is working with @Living_Goods community health care workers to increase vaccinations for millions of children. Our partner @Cisco is enabling them to use transformative technology to help provide life-saving care, even during Covid-19.
