💙 Un tempo, un bambino su mille poteva essere paralizzato dalla poliomielite. Oggi siamo a un passo dall’eradicazione. Per decenni, la poliomielite ha fatto paura a milioni di famiglie. Bastava un’infezione per cambiare una vita per sempre. Poi sono arrivati i vaccini. Dal 1988, più di 2,5 miliardi di bambini sono stati vaccinati. I casi di poliomielite nel mondo sono diminuiti di oltre il 99% e circa 20 milioni di persone sono state risparmiate dalla paralisi permanente. Ventimilioni di vite che hanno potuto continuare senza quella malattia.
Milioni di bambini che hanno potuto correre, giocare, crescere. 🧒🏽❤️ Due dei tre ceppi di poliovirus selvaggio sono già stati eradicati. Ma l’ultimo passo è il più difficile. A metà del 2026, il poliovirus selvaggio di tipo 1 continua a circolare in modo endemico soltanto in Afghanistan e Pakistan. Il traguardo è vicino, ma non ancora raggiunto. Perché finché il virus continuerà a circolare, nessun Paese sarà davvero al sicuro. 🌍 La storia ci ha dimostrato che possiamo fermarlo. Ogni vaccinazione significa protezione.
Ogni comunità vaccinata significa meno possibilità per il virus di circolare.
Ogni bambino protetto ci avvicina a un giorno in cui la poliomielite non sarà più una minaccia, ma soltanto un ricordo nei libri di storia. Siamo arrivati fin qui. Ora non fermiamoci proprio sulla soglia. 💙 #Poliomielite #Vaccini #Vaccinazione #Prevenzione #SalutePubblica #GlobalHealth #Immunizzazione #PolioEradication #Eradicazione #ProteggiamoIFuturi #Poliomielite #Vaccini #SalutePubblica

I met with #UN Deputy Secretary-General @AminaJMohammed yesterday in New York, together with Michelle. We agreed that road safety concerns our entire development agenda, and we need to adopt a more holistic approach to address the silent pandemic on the roads. #RoadSafety #SDG https://t.co/8DBbANuFi9 #RoadSafety #SustainableDevelopment #GlobalHealth #US

We talked today in Strasbourg about the EU's preparation for global health crises (recently Ebola, hantaviruses) with the Commissioner responsible for readiness and crisis management. We need to strengthen tools to combat health threats. #health (translated)

The #GHRI builds on #EUGlobalHealthStrategy to make health systems more sustainable, resilient & better able to prevent, detect & respond. These priorities will guide our work: 1️⃣ stronger coordination 2️⃣ stronger health security 3️⃣ better tracking of global health investment. #GlobalHealth #HealthSecurity #EUStrategy #GH #EU

Today I opened the EU Global Health Policy Forum & presented @EU_Commission’s Global Health Resilience Initiative #GHRI. With rising geopolitical tensions, declining health financing, more health threats & disinformation, we must rethink how we organise our collective efforts ⤵️ https://t.co/pG4DsezesS #GlobalHealth #EUHealth #HealthResilience #EU

Investing in strong health systems, in prevention, and in fragile countries is investing in our own stability. That was my message today to Members of the European Parliament.
