Without urgent course correction to meet the 2030 targets, the world risks losing the chance to prevent an additional 700 000 maternal deaths and 8 million under-5 deaths between 2024 and 2030 www.who.int/news/item/15...
There is no #equity in #access to basic #health care. The latest biennial report on #UHC reported that in 2021 4·5 billion people—about half the world's population—had no access to basic health services, and progress has stalled since 2019. @thelancet.com www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...
🔎💊💰 Today, we launched our report with @hai-org.bsky.social on pharma transparency at #WHA78.
@alienordevaliere.bsky.social: "Governments have responsibility to ensure access to affordable medicines & thus increase transparency in one of the biggest black boxes."

Greater #transparency in pharmaceutical markets is not only vital for public health, but also for public trust and accountable government spending. Now is the time to revitalize action on this urgent agenda. genevahealthfiles.substack.com/p/turn-words...

Wemos is joining MEPs & CSOs at the #EuropeanParliament to discuss the EU's funding for health in its next long-term #MFF budget for 2028-2034.
🔝 Health should be priority & have a dedicated budget.
MEP @tillymetz.bsky.social: "Without health, there's no point in pursuing any other EU policy."
It reflects a wider Trumpian trend where the mainstream right is increasingly borrowing tactics from the far right of using weaponised misinformation for political goals. #worrying #fakenews @corporateeurope.bsky.social #NGOs corporateeurope.org/en/2025/03/f...

Great report from @Ahaki "Africa has a critical opportunity to transform its pharmaceutical and vaccine production capabilities, reducing reliance on imports and strengthening healthcare resilience. Technology transfer remains central to this transformation" www.afyanahaki.org/download/tec...
Lobbying, transparency and trust: power imbalances and the failure to implement Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... "Only such ‘pro-active transparency’ will facilitate public engagement, renew public trust and promote a much-needed democratic debate on the EU's role"
"It is striking that there is little response from European governments or the European Commission. So far, Europe has followed a ‘silent approach’ of wait and see. History has taught us that saving the lives of people with HIV requires forceful and loud responses."
