A new proposal from @CMSgov under @DrOz wants to add catheters, ostomy & trach supplies to Medicare’s competitive bidding program. This is a bad idea and will worsen outcomes for seniors & Medicare recipients. My latest in @MedPageToday explains why ⬇️

Limiting urological, tracheostomy, and ostomy supply options will do more harm than good

For Chomba, a 29-year-old mother in #Zambia, #familyplanning was a 2-hour walk away. Thanks to Zambia's commitment, she can now access care. This is what it means to keep a promise. 🫱🏾🫲🏿. {❤️Story} @mofnpzambia @zammsasocials @UNFPAZambia . #WomensHealth

For 3 years, #Zambia has gone above and beyond to fund reproductive health commodities. This investment has increased availability to over 90% in some districts. A commitment to choose. 💪🏾 @mofnpzambia @zammsasocials @UNFPAZambia .#FamilyPlanning #SRHR

#Postpartumhemorrhage is a social issue. To truly save lives, we must invest in health systems & address root causes like #childmarriage. #Childmarriage is not a tradition, it's a harmful practice with life-threatening consequences. #MaternalHealth #SRHR #EndChildMarriage

A promise kept. 🇿🇲 Zambia’s commitment to #reproductivehealth is a powerful example of turning policy into reality. Partnering with @UNFPA, it is boosting domestic funding for #SRHR & #maternalhealth. {Impact Story} #SRHR #HealthForAll @mofnpzambia

With only 25% of funding for 2025, scaling up aid is critical. @UNFPA’s work with partners to destigmatize menstruation is restoring dignity and preventing health setbacks. #FundHumanitarians #WomensHealth #DignityForAll #HealthForAll #EndPeriodStigma

From dignity kits to education sessions, @UNFPA works to ensure access to SRH doesn’t hold anyone back. But with only 25% of 2025 funding secured, too many remain unreached. Together, we can close the gap and protect girls’ futures. #FundHumanitarians #MenstrualEquity

Supporting #midwives isn’t just a choice, it is a necessity. From policy to practice, they are crucial to preventing #PPH, the leading cause of maternal death. Let’s invest in them to save mothers and babies - to save lives. #MidwivesSaveLives #MaternalHealth #HealthForAll
