Director Kozma met with Ambassador Steggerda, Permanent Representative to the UN and other International Organizations in Geneva @usmissiongeneva. Great discussion on opportunities for advancing Secretary Kennedy’s health priorities across the organizations the mission represents.
“Let us assume the leadership that this moment demands.”
Ambassador Ordóñez Maldonado @MPColombiaOEA called on the Geneva Consensus Declaration to act as a coordinated diplomatic bloc in multilateral forums, and to build legal cooperation mechanisms so member states can embed these principles in their own laws in defense of life, marriage, and the family.
“When Colombia speaks up for the family, for women and mothers, for life, and for its sovereign right to make decisions for its own people... Colombia does not stand alone.”
Director Kozma, welcoming Colombia as the 47th nation of the Geneva Consensus Declaration.
Welcome back, Colombia! Today Colombia rejoined the Geneva Consensus Declaration, standing as the 47th nation committed to life, family, women's health, & sovereignty. Amb. Ordóñez @MPColombiaOEA signed on behalf of the nation and Director Kozma represented the U.S. & GCD Secretariat.
We're proud to stand together once again.
Productive meeting with Marcela Flores, Minister of Health and Sports of Bolivia @SaludDeportesBo at #PAHO63. Director Kozma discussed opportunities to collaborate on women’s health, protecting life and the family.
Great meeting with El Salvador’s Minister of Health, Francisco Alabi @FranAlabi at #PAHO63. Director Kozma and Minister Alabi discussed opportunities to strengthen U.S.-El Salvador cooperation on women’s health, protection of life, and the family.
Productive meeting with Dr. Michael Darville, Minister of Health and Wellness of The Bahamas.
Director Kozma discussed opportunities to strengthen U.S.-Bahamas health cooperation on women’s health, protecting life and the family.
At the #PAHO63 Directing Council, Director Kozma reiterated U.S. opposition to PAHO granting official-relations status to 3 non-State actors whose mission conflict with U.S. policy and called for PAHO partnerships to remain focused on areas of consensus rather than divisive ideological mandates or mechanisms of global governance.
The U.S. will not support partnerships that undermine the protection of children, the family, or national sovereignty, including through SDG-aligned “soft governance” mechanisms.

Representing the United States and @HHSGov at #PAHO63, Dr. Bhattacharya @NIHDirector_Jay outlined a vision for the Americas: building a healthier region by strengthening medical supply chains, expanding pharma partnerships, and stopping health threats at the source.
Office of Global Affairs, HHS retweeted
I am directing all commanders and supervisors at every level to conduct a one-day stand-down in the month of October.
Every warrior will be given the opportunity to vote.
From a small coalition to a global movement, momentum for the Geneva Consensus Declaration continues to grow. This #UNGA side event showed how far we’ve come. Grateful to Lisa @FridayFax and our partners at Civil Society for the Geneva Consensus Declaration for making it possible
Advancing the Geneva Consensus Declaration is a whole-of-government US priority. Grateful to Amb. Negrea @USUN, A/S Barnes @StateDRL, Andrew Guernsey @WhiteHouse and Natalie Dodson @HHSGov. Grateful for advancing U.S. leadership on GCD.
A historic first: The first-ever dedicated Geneva Consensus Declaration side event at #UNGA was held this week marking how far this coalition has grown since 2020. Director Kozma @HHSGov represented as Secretariat and was joined by White House and State colleagues.

“We are not here to speak for sovereign nations. We are here to help sovereign nations speak together.”
Powerful words from Director Kozma as she outlined the next chapter of the Geneva Consensus Declaration at last week’s UN side event.
Thank you Under Secretary Veprek and Assistant Secretary Barnes for supporting us in hosting this event. Proud to stand alongside our partners in this historic moment and expand our reach and impact at the UN. #UNGA81
For the first time ever, the United States hosted a Geneva Consensus Declaration (GCD) event during High-level Week at #UNGA81. We’re proud to assume the GCD Secretariat and will carry this work forward through a whole-of-government effort led by @USDeptHHS. Established in 2020, the Geneva Consensus Declaration, led by the United States, began as a joint initiative with a few like-minded countries. The Declaration has four main objectives: to secure meaningful health and development gains for women; to protect life at all stages; to defend the family as the fundamental unit of society; and to work together across the @UN system to realize these values.
Our deepest appreciation to Argentina, Egypt, and Hungary for reaffirming your commitments and sharing your perspectives during this week’s Geneva Consensus Declaration event at #UNGA.
Our partnership with Argentina is stronger than ever and the Geneva Consensus Declaration remains a top priority for our nations. Thank you, Secretary Agustin Caulo @caulo_agustin for your commitment and participation.
