🌎 Disease knows no borders. That’s why we need stronger epidemic surveillance – and a commitment to sharing this data 📊 – so we can all stay on top of emerging risks.
Because it’s not a matter of if a new outbreak 🦠 will emerge, it’s a matter of when. #CSP30 @DirOPSPAHO
🌎 We must address glaring gaps in vaccine 🩹 access.
We have polio circulating in New York and active measles outbreaks in parts of Brazil, diseases 🦠 that we had either already eliminated or were once on the verge of surpassing. @DirOPSPAHO
🌎 As we know all too well, good health 🩺 is not guaranteed.
When we take health for granted, investment shrinks, progress falters, and people pay the price. #CSP30
🌎 Our region has eliminated measles, rubella, and neonatal tetanus.
1️⃣0️⃣ Caribbean islands have ended mother-to-child transmission of HIV and syphilis.
Chagas disease has been eliminated in four countries throughout our region and malaria in four others.
🌎 During the #COVID19 pandemic, the world recognized just how central health 🩺 is to our societies and economies.
The pandemic challenged us like nothing else in our living memory and was the rarest of events in the 120-year history of PAHO. @DirOPSPAHO
