Some of the hardest questions facing WHO arise when politics and health collide.
In my exchange with Ms Katarzyna Drążek-Laskowska of Poland’s 🇵🇱Health Ministry, we explored how @WHO should respond when geopolitical tensions put people's health at risk, and how to navigate politically sensitive issues while keeping dialogue open.
We also reflected on the relationship between Member States and the WHO Secretariat - how it works today and how it can evolve to build greater trust, clearer responsibilities and stronger accountability.
For me, WHO needs to keep health above politics, focus on its mandate and work with all countries to find practical solutions that protect people's health.
Grateful to Ms Drążek-Laskowska for a candid and thought-provoking exchange.

Newborns need care and protection – even when Russian bombs bring terror and destruction. In Ukraine, doctors and nurses know this very well.
The Polish Medical Mission is helping Ukraine protect its youngest patients and their mothers. Through a project supported by the Polish MFA, 28 hospitals across 16 Ukrainian cities are receiving life-saving medical equipment and specialist training to improve neonatal care in crisis situations.
From Uzhhorod to Kharkiv and Odesa, Polish Aid helps Ukraine strengthen the resilience of the healthcare system. Since 2024, the project has supported around 90,000 patients and medical professionals.
For Oksana, a medical director at a Ukrainian hospital, modern equipment provided by #PolishAid offers a chance to save the lives of the most vulnerable patients: newborns.

The resolution embodies the broad support of UN Member States for a comprehensive ban on chemical weapons. Our commitment to the principles of the #ChemicalWeaponsConvention and to the @OPCW mission remains unwavering.
Deputy Foreign Minister Artur Harazim @PolandMFA paid a visit to Geneva. His schedule encompassed presentation of dr Elżbieta Mikos-Skuza’s candidature to the #IHFFC and exchanges with representatives of various international Geneva-based organisations.

At the meeting @PLMissionGeneva with diplomatic corps DFM Harazim stressed that dr Elżbieta Mikos-Skuza’s experience and qualities make her the optimal candidate for re-election to the International Humanitarian Fact-Finding Commission.
