New @who.int global report reveals nearly 20 after Commission on the Social Determinants of Health, social justice continues to kill on a grand scale @marmotihe.bsky.social @sudhvir.bsky.social #AllforEquity bit.ly/3SdE4lo

New @who.int global report shows within-country health inequities are widening and the health gap targets will be missed, largely due to a lack of political will to tackle the structural drivers of poor health @michaelmarmot.bsky.social @sudhvir.bsky.social #AllforEquity bit.ly/3SdE4lo

🚨 Tomorrow! Looking forward to speaking at ILO webinar ‘Combating inequalities: what role for universal #socialprotection?’

Great to see progress on the #cityraillink and #Auckland’s inner city #cyclelanes with @lukechristensen.bsky.social

While there are some big challenges, so nice to see infrastructure we and many others campaigned on over several years come to life 🚲🚇

The systematic dismantling of the health system in Gaza is a death sentence for tens of thousands of Palestinians in need of health care.

This horror must end and health care must be protected. Ceasefire!

It was great fun to co-host this meeting. Together we laid the groundwork for disrupting research for #healthequity.

Looking forward to seeing new voices and new tools emerge to address the root causes of inequities.

Grateful that WHO could co-organise with the Alliance, RWJF & Boston Uni SoPH
