Moeti in a sentence

A stocky central midfielder with a biting tackle, but also silkily skillful and with an excellent eye for a pass, Moeti was among the classiest midfielders of his generation.

Dr Matshidiso Moeti, WHO Regional Director for Africa said last week they are tracking the spread and monitoring it closely.

Moeti said that the drivers of the continuing disease burden include the size of Nigeria’s population, making scaling up intervention challenging; suboptimal surveillance systems, which pick up less than 40 per cent of the country’s malaria data.

Moeti said there is the need for the continent to galvanize action and ensure that no child in Africa is lost to preventable and treatable diseases.

Moeti showed delight that member States are increasing the uptake of new tools and guidance recommended by WHO, resulting in early access to TB prevention and care and better outcomes.

With regard to checking the drug resistance, Moeti said that the organisation recently launched two strategies to support countries in the African continent in building a more resilient response to malaria.

It demonstrates that with strong political will, effective policies, community engagement and multi-sectoral collaboration, malaria elimination is an achievable goal," said Matshidiso Moeti, WHO Regional Director for Africa.

Moeti said if left untreated, diabetes could lead to complications such as heart disease, stroke, nerve damage, kidney failure, lower-limb amputation, and eye disease that could result in blindness.

Abuse survivor Tshepiso Moeti, who declined to use her real name, said she withdrew charges against her husband after a six-month wait for the courts to take action made her lose faith in the justice system.

African governments have increased their testing capacity, with the number of testing centres numbering 43 compared with two at the beginning of February, said Moeti.

At the end of July, WHO regional director for Africa Dr Matshidiso Moeti praised Uganda, Seychelles and Mauritius for effectively managing to control the spread of the pandemic on the continent.

Commenting, Dr Matshidiso Moeti, World Health Organization (WHO), Regional Director for Africa, said that easing lockdown in Africa should be gradual, with the most essential parts of the economy being opened up first.

Moeti said: “Its spread beyond major cities means the opening of a new front in our fight against this virus.

Moeti says it is necessary to inform learners about making safe choices when it comes to sexual activity and provide access to the necessary tools that will promote safe sex.

The WHO has witnessed the virus spreading from big cities to “the hinterland” in South Africa, Nigeria, Ivory Coast, Cameroon and Ghana, Dr Moeti said.

The WHO is working with authorities there to improve patient care and reduce fatalities, Moeti said.

This week, the party’s SG, Moeti Mohwasa refused to be engaged on who was likely to contest for what position, arguing that all party members should wait for the right time.

WHO Regional Director for Africa, Dr Matshidiso Moeti’s earliest memories of smallpox is of her father.

Dr Moeti continues to struggle to navigate the work-life balance - “my daughters are grown up now, but I’m reduced to WhatsApp messaging and a weekly phone call” - and fears similar challenges limit women rising through the ranks.
