Climate change is having a massive impact on reproductive health. Let's talk more about it! #climatehealth
"Health journals are rapidly increasing the amount they publish on climate change and health, but despite climate change being the major threat to global health many journals had until recently published little or nothing."

According to @WHO data, #measles cases have risen by 18% globally. In 2023, 51 countries suffered from disruptive measles outbreaks, a staggering increase from 32 countries in 2023. The only way to wholly and effectively prevent measles spread is through #vaccination.
We’ve said this before and we’ll say it again:
Vaccines save lives.
#ForEveryChild, a healthy future.

After decades of development and testing, the malaria vaccines now being rolled out across Africa are the first to ever successfully target a parasite, rather than a virus or bacterium. But how do these revolutionary vaccines work? bit.ly/4bF9IAZ #endmalaria

"Horror. Unbelievable terror."
That's how Suhad (36), an expectant mother in #Rafah, describes what life is like in #Gaza.
🎥 Hear from her before her scheduled C-section and see how @UNFPA—the @UN sexual and reproductive health agency—is taking action: unf.pa/gazacrisis
Drug repurposing is when drugs approved for certain conditions are studied to determine if they can treat other diseases in safe and effective ways. Read about the use of drug repurposing in #pregnancy in this blog post by the Maternal Health Task Force:

Female genital mutilation (#FGM) is practiced in Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. It has resulted in more than 200 million girls and women alive that are living with FGM. As stated by the WHO, #FGM is a violation of human rights for women and girls.
#EndFGM #HumanRights
Survivors of female genital mutilation are leading the way to eliminating the harmful practice – one family, one community at a time.
Let the movement to #EndFGM gain strength from their indomitable spirit and let’s join them in becoming fearless champions of change.

"The women’s health gap is equal to 75 million years of life lost due to poor #health or early death annually”. Closing this health gap could help approximately 3.9 billion #women, supplementing them with an extra 7 healthy days (on average) per year. weforum.org/agenda/2024/01/w…

The unwavering dedication and #resilience of these workers to not give up and to deliver reproductive care to the people s of #Sudan is inspiring! 💪🌍 M&IHC stands with @UNFPA and their goal to work towards universal access to sexual and reproductive health services.
When conflict in #Sudan destroyed a @UNFPA-supported reproductive health clinic, workers went door-to-door to deliver life-saving care to women and girls.
Let their dedication inspire you and see how the reopened clinic is providing much-needed relief: unf.pa/ghw

#HIV education is an important tool in reducing HIV’s burden of disease. According to @UNAIDS, HIV education can tackle harmful gender norms, maintain safer behaviors, and reduce #stigma and #discrimination. Check out what #Botswana is doing in regard to HIV education!
As recognized by the @WHO, the role of #youth, who are individuals aged between 15 and 24, is critical in tackling different health issues. This article calls for the integration of youth perspectives by #policymakers due to their unique viewpoint.
