It's World Immunization Week!

Vaccines have saved more than 150 million lives since 1974 — not by accident, but because ordinary people made the decision to protect themselves, their children and one another.

That’s 6 lives every minute, every day, for more than 5 decades. Vaccines work!

Your decision makes a difference. Get vaccinated.

Do you know the most common types of cancer in children?

These are:
- leukemias,
- brain tumours,
- lymphomas, and
- solid tumours such as neuroblastoma and Wilms tumour.

While childhood cancer is rare, it can happen.
When cancer is found early and treatment begins without delay, a child has a far better chance of surviving and growing up healthy.

This year alone, 4.5 million girls, many under the age of five, are at risk of undergoing female ge***al mutilation (FGM).

FGM is a severe violation of human rights. It causes lifelong physical and emotional harm and robs girls of their health, dignity, and future.

💜 Together, we can end FGM. Let’s raise our voices and protect every girl, everywhere.

🚨 Misusing antibiotics can affect everyone.

AntimicrobialResistance (AMR) occurs when bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites no longer respond to medicines. Drug-resistant bacteria can spread and make infections harder to treat.

Let’s handle antibiotics with care and protect our communities!

Children with cancer often rely on adult medicines; tablets that are too large, or liquids that taste unpleasant.

Without age-appropriate options, children face the risk of inaccurate dosing and unnecessary side effects.

Today, manufacturers are working — with WHO guidance — to develop flexible, palatable, and child-friendly cancer medicines that make treatment safer and kinder.
