Every year, getting a billion doses of polio vaccines to children around the world takes an enormous effort. We must keep supporting the health workers and partners making this possible, so that no child is left unprotected.

UNICEF Verified account @UNICEF Oct 30

1 billion.

That’s the number of doses of polio vaccines UNICEF procures and delivers around the world every year.

Ending polio and helping children survive and thrive means making sure they have access to vaccines and are protected against preventable diseases.

We have the knowledge and tools to #EndPolio forever. Now, more than ever, we must invest to realize every child’s right to health.

Stories like Lydia’s show why access to quality maternal care matters. Thank you to our regional partners for supporting progress in maternal and child health.

Two in three women globally still lack access to ultrasound care. In rural Kenya, portable ultrasound at local clinics has reached 7,000+ mothers, helping monitor the pregnancy and spot complications early. Watch Lydia's story.

🌾 On World Food Day, we’re highlighting the importance of building more resilient food systems in the face of climate change.
The Gates Foundation works with partners across the Middle East, including the United Arab Emirates (UAE), to advance food security, agricultural innovation and climate resilience.
Through this work, we support innovations that help smallholder farmers adapt to changing climate conditions, from climate-resilient crop varieties to improved weather forecasts that help farmers prepare for extreme weather and shifting rainfall patterns.
Investing in agricultural innovation is essential to strengthening food security, protecting farmers’ livelihoods and building more resilient food systems for the future.

💉 When vaccines work, diseases can become so rare that younger generations grow up never having heard of them.

That’s what’s happening with meningitis in parts of eastern Uganda. In a recent story, Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, looks at how local health workers are helping communities understand the disease and the importance of vaccination.

It’s a powerful reminder that vaccines save lives, but keeping people informed matters too. Community health workers, schools and local radio all play a role in making sure people have the information they need to stay protected.

At the Gates Foundation, we support new ideas and health solutions that help more people access the care they need.

Everyone deserves access to the care they need. It’s encouraging to see efforts to make proven, affordable solutions available to more communities.

Mohamed bin Zayed Foundation for Humanity @mbz_foundation Oct 8

Good vision can change the course of a life.

The ability to see can support access to education and employment, strengthen communities and unlock significant economic gains. Yet for millions of people, simple, proven and affordable eye care solutions remain out of reach.

Through initiatives including the @RLMFund, which supports the elimination of river blindness across Africa, we are working to bring eye care within reach of more communities, to help close the gap on preventable blindness and vision loss.
