This #WorldPolioDay and every day, Africa is making progress towards a polio-free future!
🌍 From January to September 2026, 168M+ children were vaccinated, and polio detections in the region have declined by 33% since 2024. But rising detections of poliovirus types 1 and 3 remind us that the fight is not over.
Stronger surveillance, faster response and sustained commitment are essential to protecting every child.

Every person has a story. While some are spoken aloud, many remain concealed and unheard.
These untold experiences reflect the challenges faced by millions living with mental health conditions across the African Region, often without the understanding, support or care they need.
This #WorldMentalHealthDay, we recognize the voices and experiences behind these realities. They remind us why mental health matters and must remain a public health priority.
At WHO, we are working with countries in the African Region to turn these experiences into meaningful action by informing policies, strengthening health systems and bringing quality, people-centred mental health care closer to communities.
Because listening matters. But what we do with what we hear matters even more.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide and the second leading cause of cancer death among women in Africa.
More than 174,000 women in the WHO African Region are diagnosed each year.
Early diagnosis and timely treatment can save lives. Know the signs, get screened, and seek care early.
