Even without vaccines or specific therapeutics, people can survive #Ebola disease caused by the Bundibugyo virus if they receive timely healthcare and seek treatment as soon as symptoms appear. @WHO and many partners are supporting the establishment of Ebola treatment centres in…
At least 40 million children aged 13 to 15 are already using tobacco products, and 15 million children are using e-cigarettes -- as tobacco and nicotine industries continue to drive addiction, particularly for young people. World #NoTobacco Day is an annual reminder of the harms…

Ending the #Ebola outbreak in eastern #DRC’s Ituri Province will depend on the role of local leaders who best know their communities, the challenges and the solutions that can be taken in such a complex context. I deeply appreciated the chance to meet with and listen to communit…
Up in the air with the #UNHAS pilots of the Wings of the Ebola Response, flying us to and from #Bunia, the epicentre of the outbreak. They carried our mission on their wings. Heartfelt thanks for their dedication.
