A few reflections on @DrTedros: He's a longstanding pandemic preparedness prophet, having warned the world & strengthened @WHO's preparedness program since becoming Director-General in 2017. https://twitter.com/DrTedros/status/1336692672388542464
His CV bristles with science, public health, government service, foreign policy & diplomacy credentials & expertise. Dr Tedros knows how to open doors, keep them open, and nurture & sustain relationships to drive WHO's life-saving goals.
WHO's Member States don't respond to public finger-pointing. Most of us don't. DG's private-public approach to engaging with WHO's 194 Member States duringn the #COVID19 pandemic has been very effective.
Despite an often unhelpful political Zeitgeist, Dr Tedros stays zen & humble, focusing on the way forward: Controlling #COVID19, protecting essential health services, modernizing WHO & much more.
Congratulations to DG on this terrific recognition from @NewAfricanMag!
