The @WHO’s draft pandemic treaty offers a good start on outlining the needs of health workers during pandemic response, but we must further develop the treaty’s provision. Read my thoughts in this @Devex article about how we can do that: https://t.co/ZxOsxCn9Zs

Over 200 million women and girls alive today have experienced FGM. In 2023, an estimated 4.2 million girls are at risk of being subjected to FGM. Partnerships with men and boys can make the largest global impact in ending FGM by 2030. #MenEndFGM! https://t.co/IHNQoOaTWU

Katri Bertram says that we need to focus on the substance behind the words we use in global health. What do you think? Should we eliminate these terms from our lexicon? https://t.co/iG6jVeoF3u

Dr. MLK Jr.'s dedication to fighting injustice is a model we should all emulate. I'm thinking about his impact on his community, nation, and the world as @IntraHealth works to become a more inclusive, diverse, equitable org & focuses on helping to build more just health systems.
