Immunization may not as central to this year’s #UNGA80 discussions as in recent years, but health remains a critical part of the agenda.
 
This year’s High-Level Meetings in NYC will focus on noncommunicable diseases. And addressing #NCDs—like heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and chronic respiratory illnesses—requires integrated, preventive approaches that are closely linked with essential public health tools like immunization.
 
While vaccines are often associated with infectious disease control, they also play a pivotal role in reducing the burden of certain NCDs (for example, HPV and hepatitis B vaccines). Moreover, the infrastructure and trust built through immunization programs can strengthen the delivery of other health services, including those aimed at NCD prevention and care.
 
Health challenges do not exist in silos—and neither should our solutions.
When America helps fund immunization, medication, and malaria nets abroad, we’re not just lowering the risk of outbreaks that could hit us at home—we’re helping to ensure that children everywhere have the chance to grow up healthy.
 
College Ambassador Rani Chor spent this summer witnessing global health funding in action at Angkor Hospital for Children in Cambodia.
 
Empowering doctors, nurses, and other healthcare heroes in Cambodia and beyond MATTERS. Keep watching to learn why.
Another back to school season means another opportunity to help give children a shot at a healthy school year.

Every time antibiotics are used unnecessarily, we give bacteria a chance to adapt, evolve, and become resistant. The result? Infections are harder—and sometimes impossible—to treat.
 
This is antimicrobial resistance (AMR). But what does #AMR really entail, and what can we do to prevent it?
 
Keep watching to get the answers from Dr. Kyu Rhee, a professor of medicine and lead AMR researcher at @weillcornell.

Just last week, the WHO issued a new conditional recommendation for spatial repellents to control the spread of vector-borne diseases.
 
According to Dr. Daniel Ngamije, Director of Malaria and Neglected Tropical Diseases at WHO, this “opens the door to a new intervention for malaria control programs at a time when innovation is urgently needed.”
 
Paired with existing vaccines against vector-borne diseases like malaria (and soon enough, those against dengue), these tools will help to give everyone, everywhere a shot at life.

Health is humanitarian.
 
Reaching the world’s most vulnerable with lifesaving vaccines is the most surefire way to give everyone, everywhere a shot at life. And our humanitarian heroes are the ones that make it happen.
