"I’m happy to share the full video of a truly meaningful milestone — leading the Merck Foundation First Ladies Initiative (MFFLI) 2025 Committee Meeting in Dubai.

It was an honor to be joined by Prof. Dr. Frank Stangenberg-Haverkamp, Chairman of the Board of Trustees, and our esteemed First Ladies from across Africa and Asia.

This powerful gathering was filled with purpose, passion, and unity. We came together to exchange insights, reflect on our journey, and chart new strategies to advance healthcare, empower girls through education, break the silence around infertility, and continue our fight against gender-based violence through the “More Than a Mother” movement.

It was a true privilege to collaborate with:

• H.E. Dr. ANA DIAS LOURENÇO, The First Lady of the Republic of Angola
• H.E. Dr. DÉBORA KATISA CARVALHO, The First Lady of the Republic of Cabo Verde
• H.E. Madam BRIGITTE TOUADERA, The First Lady of the Central African Republic
• H.E. Madam ZITA OLIGUI NGUEMA, The First Lady of the Gabonese Republic 
• H.E. Mrs. FATOUMATTA BAH-BARROW, The First Lady of the Republic of The Gambia 
• H.E. Mrs. LORDINA DRAMANI MAHAMA, The First Lady of the Republic of Ghana 
• H.E. Mrs. RACHEL RUTO E.G.H., The First Lady of the Republic of Kenya 
• H.E. Mrs. KARTUMU YARTA BOAKAI, The First Lady of the Republic of Liberia 
• H.E. Madam SAJIDHA MOHAMED, The First Lady of the Republic of Maldives
• H.E. Dr. GUETA SELEMANE CHAPO, The First Lady of the Republic of Mozambique 
• H.E. Senator OLUREMI TINUBU, CON, The First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 
• H.E. Mrs. MARIA DE FATIMA VILA NOVA, The First Lady of the Democratic Republic of São Tomé and Príncipe 
• H.E. Madam MARIE KHONE FAYE, The First Lady of the Republic of Senegal 
• H.E. Amai Dr. AUXILLIA MNANGAGWA, The First Lady of the Republic of Zimbabwe 

I am deeply inspired by the unity and leadership each First Lady brings to this mission. Together, we are not only advocating — we are transforming lives.

Stay tuned for more!"
