Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus: EU-AU High-Level meeting on Health in Brussels
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director General at World Health Organization, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Today, I took part in the EU-AU High-Level meeting on Health in Brussels. My ask to both EU Commission, African Union and their Member States is to continue prioritising health in their policies and investment.
I urged them to work together to find common ground and conclude a strong pandemic agreement in time for the World Health Assembly.
I used the opportunities to meet with Belgium’s Minister Caroline Gennez, EU Commissioners Stella Kyriakides, Jutta Urpilainen, Janez Lenarcic to discuss joint health priorities, as well as World Health Organization’s response to dire health crises in Gaza and Sudan.
Together, we can realise health as a right for more people, and narrow the inequities that deprive people of it.
My deep thanks to Belgium EU Presidency for their leadership and commitment.”
