This Legacy Book, reflecting a decade of achievements by the WHO Regional Director, Dr Matshidiso Moeti, and her team at the WHO Secretariat in the African Region between 2015 and 2025, pays tribute to the bold leadership style of the first-ever woman to hold this position on the continent. Unafraid to make decisions and exercise the authority demanded by her position, while willing to consult broadly, Dr Moeti guided the WHO African Region through a barrage of public health crises, not least the Ebola outbreak in West Africa and the COVID-19 pandemic, when the need for a more resilient, responsive and effective WHO in Africa had never been greater.
