WHO DG @DrTedros was right to promptly convene an Emergency Committee (EC) under the International Health Regulations (IHR) to unite the world in responding to #monkeypox. The EC should recommend a declaration of a public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC) 1X

As we mark 20 years of the heinous attacks of 9/11, my thoughts are with the victims, survivors & families. The solidarity & resolve shown by the international community in those dark days should continue to inspire & guide our efforts to create a future without terrorism.
