Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of the World Health Organization, shared a post on X:
“Always delighted to return to the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, which, like for thousands of other health professionals, provided me with essential knowledge and training for my career in infectious disease control and public health.
More than three decades later, the London School is still demonstrating its commitment to knowledge sharing, excellence and partnership, including through its Centre for Global Chronic Conditions, a WHO Collaborating Centre on Health Systems and Chronic Conditions. I was grateful to the Centre’s leadership, and to Professor Chris Whitty, for welcoming and briefing my team today on its superb work.
I look forward to the London School joining the almost 800 other institutions we partner with globally at the first Global Forum of WHO Collaborating Centres, which opens on World Health Day, 7 April, in Lyon, France.”
