Happy 25th Birthday Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance 🎂. I am World Economic Forum where Gavi was launched 25 years ago as was announced in a session with my successor Dr Sania Nishtar representing The Alliance talking about its amazing accomplishments. Klaus Schwab was kind enough to come and make remarks as well




Very happy to see that the IAVI rVSV Ebola Sudan Vaccine Clinical trial has started today in Uganda. 45 contacts have been identified & 6 already have some symptoms so hopefully the vaccine will show efficacy in the World Health Organization (WHO) ring vaccine trial & then can be used in outbreak control.


Had a good panel at the #WorldGovSummit where we discussed Innovative strategies for universal health coverage & reducing health inequalities. I focused on messages from The Lancet #Globalhealth2050 as well as the need to focus on prevention & pandemic preparedness



I am pleased to be returning to Rwanda to attend and speak at Amref Health Africa African Health Agenda International Conference #AHAIC2025 It is an important time to discuss the Agenda given the dramatic shifts in the global health landscape.

Amazing to see my good friend Dr. Jane Ruth Aceng Ocero, the Minister of Health of Uganda launch this program with Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance help to vaccinate every infant for Malaria; the largest campaign to date observer.ug/news/uganda-or…



We need strong, science-driven policies to #DefeatMeningitis by 2030 especially in Africa. Great to join SerumInstituteIndia at #IPNC2025 to spotlight progress on this front w. Drs Prasad Kulkarni (SII), Milagritos Tapia (UMSOM Center for Vaccine Dev. & Global Health) , and Abdulrazaq Habib (World Health Organization (WHO) SAGE). #vaccineswork


Very pleased to have done an interview on the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health podcast @PublicHealthonCall with stephanie desmond on vaccines & @Gavi including why support for Gavi is so critical. johnshopkinssph.libsyn.com/877-gavi-the-v…

Tragic to see another unnecessary measles death in Texas. Measles, the most contagious infectious disease, requires high levels of vaccination for prevention. Tragic to see babies unprotected due to misinformation. #vaccineswork nytimes.com/2025/04/06/hea… via The New York Times


I caught up with the Times of India on vaccine access, malaria vaccines and the importance of funding Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance Vaccine equity is critical in spite of the current political situation. #vaccineswork timesofindia.indiatimes.com/home/sunday-ti…



There are no words to describe how stupid this war on Science is! HIV vax research has helped us understand how the immune system works which will be critical to treating many common chronic diseases beyond HIV. Science must continue! nytimes.com/2025/05/30/hea… via The New York Times
