September is Suicide Prevention Month Every year, more than 700,000 people die by suicide. Africa carries some of the highest rates — especially among young people. Together, we can break the stigma, reform policies, and strengthen support systems. @AfricaCDC reaffirms its

"Hope lies in dreams, in imagination, and in the courage of those who dare to make dreams into reality.” — Jonas Salk (developer of the polio vaccine). Hope is not pretending everything is okay. It is believing that something better can still grow even from hard, broken places.

In many under-resourced countries, girls are denied access to quality education. Without it, girls are excluded from decision-making spaces, including global health. #YouthDay #SDG5 #LeaveNoOneBehind #EducationForAll

The Engine and the Wheel: Examining the Intertwined Roles of Women and Society's Progress The assertion that women's "selfishness and greed" hinder societal growth, leading to male dominance and marginalization, is a harmful and inaccurate oversimplification.  It's a dangerous

Which health outcome do you believe climate change will most significantly worsen by 2030? Reports reveal that climate change undermines every dimension of global health, from air pollution's role in lung disease & asthma to broader risks associated with extreme weather shifts.

What if health systems treated humans, animals & ecosystems as one? #OneHealth isn’t a buzzword; it’s how we stay ahead of zoonotic diseases, AMR & climate shocks. So why is cross-sector collaboration still so hard? #OneHealth #PublicHealth #ClimateHealth @AfricaCDC

Too many women remain excluded from positions of power due to gender bias, systemic barriers, and a lack of political will. #WomenInLeadership #GenderEquality #DecisionMakingPower #FeministLeadership #HealthForAll

Routine health data is a lifeline, not a byproduct. We must invest in its quality, consistency & use to drive equity in maternal and child health. Facility data, when leveraged well, can guide real-time decisions and shape stronger, more resilient systems. #PublicHealth

The insights gained from #CAM2025 meeting evaluations and synthesis will guide strategic interventions to enhance maternal and child health. Together, let us commit to leveraging this data to foster a resilient health system that meets the needs of every individual.

Human health isn’t isolated. 75% of new diseases? Zoonotic. AMR is rising. Climate shocks fuel outbreaks. One Health isn’t a theory; it’s a survival strategy. Integrated. Preventive. Urgent. How is your work protecting health security? #OneHealth #AfricaCDC #GlobalHealth

World Food Safety Day: A Focus on Africa's Urgent Needs World Food Safety Day, observed annually on June 7th, highlights the critical importance of safe food in sustaining life and promoting health.  While global food production is sufficient to feed the world's population,

I used to think leaders had to have all the answers, confidence, direction, etc. But I’ve learned that the best leaders stay curious. They ask questions, admit when they don’t know, and keep growing. “You don’t lead from perfection. You lead from progress.” #Leadership

Public trust is quietly crumbling. In Kenya, vaccine hesitancy and myths around reproductive care are growing, fueled by social media @AfricaCDC. Misinformation spreads faster than the truth. Rebuilding trust in public health isn’t optional. It’s urgent. #PublicHealth #Kenya

Across Africa, public health is evolving. Not just because of diseases but due to climate stress, digital disruption, and shifting demographics. How we respond now will shape the future. Is your health system ready for what's next? #PublicHealth #AfricaHealth #Resilience #Kenya

If this week had a theme… mine would be: “I tried.” Some days, I nailed it. Others? I just showed up, and that’s a win too. Not every week has to be groundbreaking. Sometimes, surviving the emails, the meetings, and remembering where you left your keys is enough. #FridayVibes

Loud isn’t the same as impactful. You can lead with calm. With clarity. With presence. Quiet strength? Still strong. What leadership quality do you admire most in others? #Leadership #PublicHealth

Who mentors the mentors? We often talk about mentorship as if it’s a one-way street—seasoned professionals guiding the next generation. But here’s the catch: mentors don’t come with built-in wisdom. They, too, need guidance, fresh perspectives, and a space to grow. #Leadership

WGH Kenya just wrapped up a transformative three-day Storytelling Workshop. CHPs and women in health learned to harness storytelling as a tool for advocacy and leadership. From crafting policy narratives to impactful media engagement, their voices are just getting started.

Every year, 10 million people fall ill with tuberculosis (TB)—a preventable and treatable disease that still disproportionately affects vulnerable populations in LMICs. This year’s theme, “Yes! We Can End TB”, is a call to action. The question is not if but when. #WorldTBDay
