Australia's Ambassador for Global Health

On One Health Day, Australia is showcasing the work we’re supporting across the Indo-Pacific. Strengthening laboratories, training animal health workers and collecting wildlife samples are just some of the ways we are contributing to regional health security.

Great to meet Brazil’s Prof Luciano Moreira, a global pioneer of the Wolbachia method to tackle dengue. DFAT’s partnership with the World Mosquito Program at @MonashUniversity is a great example of how partnerships and innovation are helping improve health security in our region.

Malaria places a heavy burden on communities across the Indo-Pacific, particularly children. Great to meet MMV CEO Martin Fitchet to discuss how Australia is supporting MMV to develop life-saving, accessible malaria products across our region. #HealthSecurity #EndMalaria

On #WorldGODay, we recognise the power of prevention and early detection of cervical cancer. Through EPICC, Australia is helping countries across the Indo-Pacific expand HPV vaccination, screening and treatment, bringing us closer to a future free from cervical cancer.

Vaccination protects us all from diseases that know no borders. Australia’s support for @Gavi helps ensure Pacific priorities are heard and strengthens regional health security. It was a pleasure to meet CEO Dr @SaniaNishtar in Canberra to discuss our shared health goals.
