[Marie-Claire (MC) Wangari #InTheEyesOfMC @mcwangari]

My key question for this session is as follows

What measures do we have in place to empower #HCWs (in training & in practice) of the technicalities involving #PHC & PPR? i.e taking all the global conversations and converting into action

@peterngolaowiti highlights that in many LMICs testing remains low and despite most governments declaring the test free, a high cost is often attached

[Platform for ACT-A Civil Society & Community Reps @ACTA_CSOReps]

@FifaRahman shares 2 requests:

1️⃣ A new TRIPS order and more technology transfer
2️⃣ Our very first Long COVID technical meeting (with a request for the @ACTAccelerator Hub to facilitate this) given the underemphasis on #LongCOVID in this transition

[Platform for ACT-A Civil Society & Community Reps @ACTA_CSOReps]

@FifaRahman: ‘on oxygen, this pandemic has been a wakeup call on poor national level planning and international donor support for medical oxygen infrastructure’

[Platform for ACT-A Civil Society & Community Reps @ACTA_CSOReps]

@FifaRahman also highlights the need for a human rights and access-based approach to testing & the work of CSOs in pushing for self-testing throughout the pandemic. We must centre the right to health & remember that this right doesn’t apply differentially across geographies

[Platform for ACT-A Civil Society & Community Reps @ACTA_CSOReps]

@FifaRahman highlights the need for the globally community to actively start looking at equal intellectual partnership of LMICs, not as a tick in the box diversity initiative but rather as a fundamental component of commodities deployment and pandemic response

[Dr Fifa A Rahman @FifaRahman]

The wonderful @carlbildt describes the Principals calls held every Thursday during the pandemic and how this prompted unprecedented interagency collaboration. Thanks Carl for your great chairing of these meetings - pushing the agenda along and ensuring we keep on track.
