100 days into the #Ebola emergency, more than 5,500 people have been infected and 2,640 have died. The response must scale dramatically: testing, treatment, safe burials, community engagement, essential health services — and safety for frontline workers. Our 100 days statement: bit.ly/4gi8dNv

Our NUS-Lancet PRIME Commission in The Guardian: theguardian.com/world/2026/s…

The session opened with a panel of global leaders, including former heads of government and state, Nobel Peace Prize laureates and members of The Elders, reflecting on the need for long-view leadership and stronger action on global public goods. As @HelenClarkNZ, Former Prime Minister of New Zealand, noted, resilience requires leaders to look beyond what is most pressing today and prepare for the challenges that may be coming next.

🌍 Thank you to @TheElders, @TheIndPanel, @gavi, @CEPIvaccines, @wellcometrust, @GlobalFund, @nighealthwatch, #RANA, and everyone who joined us in New York and online. The case for international partnerships has never been clearer. ⚡️#UNGA81

Happening now at #UNGA81, the conversation on “Resilience and Stability for All: Prioritising International Partnerships for Our Shared Health and Security” is examining what it will take to strengthen global cooperation at a time when the world faces growing health and security challenges. From pandemic preparedness and AI-related risks to the future of development assistance, speakers are making the case for looking beyond immediate crises and investing in partnerships that build resilience for the long term. @wellcometrust

Nos hace muchísima ilusión lanzar el informe de la Comisión NUS–Lancet PRIME, Transforming Pandemic Readiness for Equity, el 21 de septiembre en Nueva York, durante la semana de #UNGA. Han sido tres años de muchísimo trabajo junto a mi co-chair, the Rt Hon Helen Clark, nuestros Commissioners, coordinadores de país, jóvenes investigadores y colaboradores de todo el mundo. Hemos trabajado con comunidades en 20 países, poniendo la equidad y un enfoque de toda la sociedad en el centro de la preparación frente a futuras pandemias. 📍 Instituto Cervantes New York 📅 Lunes, 21 de septiembre de 2026 🕚 11:00–13:00 Si estáis en Nueva York, hacédnoslo saber. Nos encantará veros allí. Registro: eventbrite.com/e/transformin… #SaludGlobal #PandemicReadiness #HealthEquity

The response is scaling up in Haut-Uele, one of the 6 provinces where Ebola is spreading, but more preparedness is needed at the border with South Sudan. It took us several days to get to this remote area of DRC with @UNOCHA and government colleagues.

⚡️ Register now! Join @rani_action @TheElders @TheIndPanel 22 Sept. at #UNGA81 for a high-level discussion on redoubling commitments to international partnerships and thinking differently on investing for our shared #resilience and stability. 🎟️ airtable.com/appbHO72BzTgCek…

Three vaccine trials are under way against Ebola Bundibugyo, while new diagnostics and treatments are being tested. Scientific progress is accelerating — but equitable access will determine its impact. 📰➡️healthpolicy-watch.news/ebol… ✍️@kerrycullinan11 @MinSanteRDC @WHO @WHOAFRo @AfricaCDC @TheIndPanel @MSF @IPPSecretariat @IFPMA @IAmBiotech @DrTedros @ProfJanabi @HelenClarkNZ @DreJoanneLiu @DavidReddyIFPMA #Ebola #GlobalHealth #HealthSecurity #PandemicPreparedness #HealthEquity

To bring the Ebola outbreak under control, we must fully fund the Government-led $1.3 billion response plan and the remaining $1.1 billion humanitarian plan to meet the life-saving needs of people across the DRC.

100 days of the latest Ebola outbreak. Way more action needed. This is an important statement:

1/7 Ebola responders were chased with machetes while trying to bury a victim in Congo. “The outbreak is growing faster and wider than the Ebola response,” said @julienmh, describing conditions facing frontline workers as “brutal.” Short 🧵 bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

UN MS must 'build on the progress, principles and pledges made since COVID-19. Dangerous pathogens have proved time and again that we must build stronger systems & simply cannot afford to retreat.' @HelenClarkNZ @theindpanel #FriendsofthePPPRHLM theindependentpanel.org/news…

Yesterday in Aru, several ambulances were vandalized and an ambulance driver was injured, I wish him a speedy recovery. Health and humanitarian workers serving communities in the response against Ebola should never be a target. Together, we can and we can and must #StopEbola.
