Thank you, @DrTedros for visiting us and for these kind words. Every newborn deserves the best possible start, and we are proud to work alongside @WHO @WHO_Tanzania so more mothers and babies in Tanzania survive and thrive. Ahsante sana!

A child’s first days of life can be the most fragile. It was inspiring to learn more about @DorisMollel Foundation’s work to give newborns in #Tanzania the best possible start in life, while supporting the health and well-being of mothers. @WHO is committed to working with partners to strengthen newborn care and help more mothers and babies survive and thrive. #HealthForAll

It builds on a relationship that began in Geneva in 2024 and has grown around advocacy, evidence and stronger models of newborn care, including World Prematurity Day taking its place on WHO's global health calendar.

Before a girl can heal, she needs somewhere safe to go. That's the starting point of one of our core AGYW interventions: safe house support.

Thank you to the safe house owners, Social Welfare Officers, and council partners who made this possible. Protection is the first step. Dignity is what makes it stick.

This partnership reflects a growing recognition that locally led, community-driven approaches shape better health outcomes. Tanzania has answers to offer.

“Where does leadership come from when you lack the “right” title or conventional background?” She spoke on building influence from outside formal structures, leading as an advocate rather than an official, and the resilience the journey demands.

She also addressed the young women in the room directly, on what it takes to lead, create change, and claim their place in health systems transformation. Ahsante sana @MkapaFoundation
