Excellencies, colleagues, friends, Thank you, I ’m delighted to be here. And I’d like to thank you for rearranging the programme so that I could be here for this important moment. I didn’t want to miss it! For two reasons: one is because I wanted to be here; and second, based on the resolutions, one of the instructions you gave is actually to be here, so it’s good to take the instruction in person to Geneva.

DG statement at ceremony marking end of 9th Ebola outbreak in DRC
This is a happy occasion. I am so pleased to be here with you, for a third time in three months, to personally convey my congratulations on defeating another outbreak of Ebola. I remember when I first visited in May, we were very concerned. This outbreak had begun in isolated rural areas, but it quickly affected Mbandaka, an urban centre with riverine connections to Kinshasa, as well as to the neighbouring countries. The risks were high. (Source: WHO Director-General speeches)
