Yesterday I visited Unguwan Sanusi Healthcare centre, which supports over 20,000 people in Kaduna South, Nigeria with family planning, and maternal care services.
I heard from patients and frontline workers on how UK support is strengthening health systems in Nigeria.🇳🇬

Our Chair @SarahChampionMP welcomes a new report by the @NAOorguk looking into how the @FCDOGovUK responds to sudden-onset humanitarian crises.
Read more: committees.parliament.uk/com…
ALT “I welcome the NAO's comprehensive examination of whether the FCDO responds effectively to humanitarian crises. "The report made clear that as resources tighten, the FCDO must do more to address the inevitable limitations in its approach to ensure the long-term effectiveness and value for money of its crisis response function. International Development Committee
ALT “The International Development Committee’s recent report assessing the value for money of the UK’s aid budget reached similar conclusions; stressed the importance of long-term development in preventing crises before they start. As the world gets ever more unstable, and crises more regular, we will continue to scrutinise the Government’s progress in this area.” Sarah Champion, Chair Photo is of Sarah Champion MP, she has bobbed brown curly hair and is wearing a white jacket.

When conflict disrupts food systems and healthcare, women and children are often among the hardest hit.
Investing in maternal and child nutrition is one of the most effective ways to save lives, improve health outcomes and build long-term resilience.

What makes the current #Ebola outbreak different?
It is caused by the Bundibugyo strain, a rare variant for which there is currently no approved vaccine or treatment.
So, what does this mean for Africa's preparedness and response?

A suspected mpox outbreak has hit Sudan’s war-ravaged Darfur region, threatening hundreds of thousands of people living in overcrowded displacement camps, aid groups say.
At least 200 suspected mpox cases have been identified across five towns in the remote Jebel Marra region, a rugged mountain range in central Darfur.
Francesco Lanino, @save_children's deputy country director in Sudan, said the outbreak has been fuelled by the ongoing conflict, which has devastated healthcare and restricted aid access.
“We really think the number [of cases] is much, much higher,” he told The Telegraph

In the DRC last week, I saw the work being done by our partners to try and contain the deeply troubling Ebola outbreak and protect communities.
The massive scale of the challenge should not be underestimated.
The UK will continue to support the African-led response.

Today we can announce that @Gavi will make up to US$ 50 million available through its First Response Fund to support the response to the ongoing Bundibugyo ebolavirus outbreak. While we are some way off having a safe and effective vaccine against Bundibugyo virus, we need to act now to ensure that once vaccine candidates are ready manufacturers are in a position to start producing doses at scale. This, as well as ensuring emergency funds are on hand to support outbreak response and protect routine immunisation services in the communities impacted, is exactly what our First Response Fund was designed for: bit.ly/4fgopi7

Last week’s #GlobalPartnershipsConference put partnership at the centre of the conversation.
But if partnership is to mean anything, it must be shaped by those already doing the work.

Hellen represents the millions of dedicated health workers across #Africa who are critical to their communities. Despite their commitment, Africa faces a severe shortage. If current trends persist, the continent will be short of 6.1 million healthcare workers by 2030. This gap will leave many without access to essential care, from routine check-ups to emergency interventions during crises such as #Ebola outbreaks in the DRC, Uganda, South Sudan, and neighbouring countries.

Africa will be short of 6.1 million healthcare workers by 2030.
Health equity starts with the people who deliver care.

“We have no choice, it is our oath.” Health workers in DRC say they are treating suspected Ebola patients despite shortages of PPE and medical supplies during the Bundibugyo outbreak.

The #Ebola outbreak in #DRC is another reminder that top-down responses don’t build resilience.
Equitable partnerships do.
As this powerful reporting from @newhumanitarian highlights, responses that bypass local systems can create dependency rather than preparedness.
