The Ministry of Health (MOH) on Tuesday, April 14, 2026, joined the global community in commemorating World Health Day 2026, issuing a strong call for increased investment in science, innovation, and collaborative action to safeguard public health. The event, held at Monrovia City Hall, was celebrated under the global theme: “Together for Health. Stand with Science.”
Delivering the keynote address, Acting Chief Medical Officer of the Republic of Liberia, Dr. Teyah S. Moore, highlighted the country’s health sector gains and reaffirmed its commitment to science-driven healthcare. “On this World Health Day, Liberia proudly joins Africa and the world in the call: ‘Together for health. Stand with science,” Dr. Moore declared. “The longer lives and life-saving treatments we value today are the fruits of decades of scientific progress.”
Reflecting on the country’s experience during the West African Ebola epidemic, Dr. Moore emphasized the role of science and solidarity in overcoming the crisis. “When Ebola struck our nation, science and solidarity gave us hope. The rapid development and deployment of vaccines, combined with the courage of our health workers and communities, saved lives and strengthened global preparedness,” he said.
