The boards of global health organisations are dominated by people from high income countries, with nationals from the US (44%) and UK (7%) accounting for more than half of all board members (51%), a report has found @GlobalHlth5050 https://t.co/S2Sb7zLYej
A new #GH5050 report warns that #globalhealth is not living up to its name. Decision-making seats are dominated by nationals of high-income countries, while considerations of gender and diversity in the policies that guide them are all too often absent.

Not to be missed - the new #GH5050#BoardsforAll report looks behind the closed doors of board rooms to assess who is holding power in global health governance - and whose voices are sorely missing.

‘Education & willpower are not enough. We cannot escape this vicious cycle without rebalancing the financial incentives within the food system.’ - @HenryDimbleby on UK @food_strategy and need for government intervention https://t.co/AC8Hsx3YNz
Borrowing a leaf from #feminist movement, I argue that creating healthier societies is about fixing the broken system, not just trying to fix the people within the system
👉Feminist & #HIV movements have much to teach us about how to do so

@feminineupheave @kentbuse
In @bmj_latest we argue that this neglect of both #sex & #gender in #COVID19 must be a wake-up call for the sector that these are not 'add-ons' but should be so central to systems that their integration does not need to be considered in a time of crisis.

Should we be surprised that just 1 in 2 countries reported #COVID19 sex-disaggregated data in February when, during 'normal' times, only 4/10 global health orgs are doing so? The value of this data is clearly still not understood.
