Odrę wywołuje jeden z najbardziej zaraźliwych wirusów. Liczba przypadków odry w UE i w PL znacząco spadła, ale stan zaszczepienia wciąż jest nieoptymalny. Aby utrzymać odporność populacyjną, ≥95% populacji potrzebuje dwóch dawek MMR. Szczepienia wciąż są naszą najlepszą ochroną!
Measles cases in the European Region dropped by nearly 75% in 2025 compared with 2024. Yet the risk of outbreaks remains - more than 200,000 people in our Region have had measles in the past three years. These figures are based on preliminary 2025 surveillance reports from 53 Member States across Europe and Central Asia. While vaccination and outbreak response efforts have contributed to this decline, measles continues to spread - immunity gaps remain, and cases have already been detected in 2026. To prevent new outbreaks, countries need to reach 95% vaccination coverage in every community, close immunity gaps across all ages, strengthen surveillance and act quickly when cases appear, while ensuring people have access to and rely on verified health information. Eliminating measles is essential for national and regional health security. Read more in our joint press release with @UNICEF_ECA: bit.ly/4a9ufim

Had a valuable exchange with Ms Katarzyna Drązek-Laskowska from 🇵🇱 Health Ministry, including on how @WHO_Europe is adapting the scale and scope of its country presence in Poland as part of restructuring & alignment efforts. We discussed #Ukraine - a top priority for both WHO/Europe and #Poland - and explored opportunities to deepen collaboration on digital health and the responsible use of AI, an area where Poland is showing strong leadership & investment. #EB158 #HealthForAll

WHO COSI data: ➡️ Europe: 25% overweight, 11% obese (ages 7–9) ➡️ Poland: overweight and obesity are above the regional average. PL🇵🇱 is tackling this through the DINO project of Instytut Matki i Dziecka, combining monitoring, school-based prevention, and education campaigns.

“TB only affects poor regions and countries.” Wrong. Tuberculosis can affect anyone who breathes—any age, any income, any location. It spreads through the air when someone coughs or sneezes. Break the myths! Stop the stigma! youtube.com/watch?v=-wc7TYoz…

Maryna uciekła z 🇺🇦 w trakcie leczenia gruźlicy. Dzięki @WHOPoland, Lekarzom bez Granic i @MZ_GOV_PL otrzymała niezbędną pomoc i mogła dalej się leczyć, bez rozdzielania z córką. Jej historia to część wystawy „Wspólne Życie, Wspólna Przyszłość” #UN80 #BuildingOurFutureTogether

.@PremierRP, we at @WHO_Europe welcome and thank you for supporting nighttime alcohol sales bans. Evidence from Lithuania’s sales limits and Nordic monopolies shows reduced harm. Your commitment to 🇵🇱 Poland’s well-being aligns with WHO/Europe’s SAFER initiative to curb alcohol harm. @donaldtusk | @PremierRP_en | @DrCarina_FB | @WHOPoland | @NinaBerdzuli
💬 Premier @donaldtusk w #Sejm: Bardziej przekonują mnie argumenty tych, którzy optują za zakazem sprzedaży alkoholu w nocy. To wyraźnie widać na SOR i ulicach miast, gdzie wprowadzono takie przepisy. Wszystkim nam zależy, aby w Polsce spożywano mniej alkoholu, tutaj chodzi o dobro mieszkańców.

Poland steps up with compassion! Health, justice, & equality united yesterday to back new guidelines for #GBV survivors. Frontline health workers now have a standard of care. WHO’s @NinaBerdzuli :“Guidelines are not just words – they’re a lifeline. Health must lead the response”

🇵🇱 Poland is taking important steps toward improving health care and making the system fairer and more responsive to people’s needs. 👏 From ensuring comprehensive care for Ukrainian refugees to prioritizing the most vulnerable, Poland continues to demonstrate solidarity in action. 🧠 The country is laying the groundwork for a full transformation of its mental health system — shifting from hospital-based to community-based care. This bold and forward-looking approach offers valuable lessons for the entire region. 🇪🇺 Under Poland’s EU Presidency, Warsaw delivered tangible outcomes — including unanimous consensus on the EU Pharma Package and groundbreaking work to understand how digital technologies affect youth mental health. Together with @MZ_GOV_PL we’re building on this momentum by: 🔴Scaling up support for hospital restructuring reform through expert exchanges and best practice sharing. 🔴Deepening collaboration to strengthen systems that deliver for people — both in times of crisis, and for the long term. Poland is shaping the future of public health in Europe. @WHO_Europe and @WHOPoland are proud to stand alongside. Dziękuję to Health Minister, Dr Jolanta Sobierańska-Grenda, and Deputy Health Minister @KaKacperczyk, for the frank and friendly exchange today!
