The Wellbeing Foundation Africa, a member of the World Health Organization, WHO, Civil Society Commission, an accredited Non-State Actor with World Health Organization African Region, is engaging alongside nearly 800 scientific institutions across over 80 countries, through the Wellbeing Africa Institute of Research and Development #WAIRD, at the One Health Summit in Lyon and the WHO Global Forum of Collaborating Centres.

Founder/President of Wellbeing Foundation Africa, Toyin Saraki, on global World Health Day, aligned with the WHO global advocacy for collective action, Together for Health, etc.

According to Toyin Saraki, "Today on #WorldHealthDay, I echo the WHO global call for collective action, Together for Health, Stand with Science, grounded in urgency, equity and shared responsibility".

Toyin Saraki, accordingly, declared: "The #OneHealth approach recognises the interdependence of human, animal and environmental health.

"With over 60% of emerging infectious diseases originating in animals, and with climate and ecosystem pressures accelerating risk, integrated and science led responses across sectors are essential.

"At #WBFA, this is reflected in our work across maternal, newborn, child and adolescent health systems, where prevention, safe care and community level action intersect with wider environmental and public health determinants.

"To stand with science is to protect the institutions, partnerships and financing that translate evidence into equitable outcomes, and to sustain trust in public health guidance at every level."
