The #YiDHN ministerial breakfast at #AHTS25 was a resounding success. I encouraged the #AfricanYouth to: - mentor one another; the one in front holding the hand of the one behind; and - document then measure every effort, for β€œwhat’s measured is done”! #UntilWeAreAllSafe

#proCHWs are the backbone of primary healthcare. But too often, funding cuts & lack of recognition undermine their potential. As a @join_chic member, we call for sustained investment in CHWs and for policies that recognize & pay them as professionals. #UNGA80 #Hope4CHWs

An honor to speak at the Africa Health Sovereignty Summit - a powerful gathering reshaping healthcare; Africa is ready to lead, invest & own its health systems. Communities must be at the centre of the new architecture with available, adaptable and responsive PHC systems.
