It is vital for both the #UK and the world 🌍
The logic was simple: #Invest & prevent #health threats at source.
It’s momentum must not be lost 🤍

It was Gordon Brown who launched the #HealthPartnerships approach in 2007, harnessing #NHS expertise to drive #UHC delivery in #LMICs. It is this Labour Govt which is ending this work, 18 years later. A sad moment. #UKGlobalHealthSummit @katlay.bsky.social.

Much of the UN Commission on the Status of Women document addressed improving justice for victims of gender-based violence - and only the US voted against it.

NEW: Is this the broligarchy’s first world war? AI, like war & rape, is a hyper-masculine fantasy of God-like power, a myth at the dark heart of what we’re seeing play out in the Gulf. This war hasn’t replaced the Epstein scandal. It is the Epstein scandal.

This is a real video from the official White House account on a war that is currently killing people. I don’t know how the US is going to come back from this.

“The Middle East has become the deadliest place in the world:
- to be a medical worker
- to be a humanitarian
- to be a UN team member
- to be a journalist
And one of the deadliest to be a civilian.”
– UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini
Shambolic fundamentalism

For decades UN salaries have been benchmarked against US Federal civil service salaries.
Perhaps, if the US fulfilled its international obligations and contributed what it owes to the UN organisations, this conversation would be moot.
"Assemble the Board of Peace - I'm starting a war".
In 2024 NHS staff reported working unpaid overtime equivalent to at least 49 000 full time employees.
A BMJ data analysis finds this discretionary effort, which has long underpinned NHS service delivery, is declining. What does this mean for workforce planning?

The #UK’s looming migrant #healthworker crisis:
#Nurse visas: down by 93%
#careworkers: down 97%
Misguided migration is:
- Worsening skill shortages
- Undermining an exhausted workforce
This isn't just border policy; it's life-or-death for the vulnerable
www.theguardian.com/society/2026...
Immigration has benefited the UK by filling critical skill and labour shortages. In fact without immigrants our public services - particularly health and social care would not be able to function.
What a perfect day for John Oliver to do a Twitter takedown
One year after the Trump Administration funding cuts: SA’s #HIV response is still reeling. Thousands of health workers lost their jobs. Clinics closed overnight. And the R2-billion pledge that brought relief for some programmes ends in March.

🌍 The race for the next @who.int Director-General has quietly begun.
With a $1B funding gap, U.S. withdrawal, internal reform battles, and geopolitical fractures, the next leader must be both technocrat and diplomat.

💔 More than 160,000 women died in conflict and fragile settings in 2023 from pregnancy-related causes.
These are not inevitable deaths. They are the result of damaged health systems, insecurity, & disrupted services.

In this piece, Sarah Cotte explores the political economy of the Gulf involvement in Africa, looking specifically at land investments, stressing that the Gulf states in their new ‘scramble for Africa’ should be categorised as sub-imperialist.
"Adopting the #LusakaAgenda and incorporating community voices is more than a policy shift; it's a commitment to deliver health care for all—but only if we choose to transform primary health care together. Until we are all safe." @laktarr001.bsky.social @thinkglobalhealth.org
