I've just signed this letter calling on the government to make health systems work for people AND the planet.

Will you do the same?

We're celebrating 30 years of impact by launching our #30days30years campaign! "Driven by the need to make healthcare accessible + affordable for women + girls, we've had a significant impact on the lives of vulnerable groups across the world." @jharcourtx https://t.co/90c3nT6PT7

Deeply disappointed in UK MPs' approval of a £4bn cut to #UKaid. This will be devastating to the health & livelihoods of the most vulnerable, especially women & girls, at a time we should invest in making countries' health systems more resilient to global health security threats

We signed this letter handed by @careintuk to @BorisJohnson calling on him and @G7 leaders this week to crack the gender inequality crisis and commit to vaccine equity. Please RT if you support the call!

Completely agree - I was shocked about lack of care post birth. Fobbed off by GPs twice when I went to them with a problem & 6wk check was a joke. Eventually had to 💰 for private physio after months of worrying. Don’t want to bash NHS, but more postnatal prep & support is needed

[Rachel Moss @rachelmoss_]

Pregnant women are asked about their birth plan, so why not their recovery plan? More evidence that postnatal care isn't up to scratch – 91% of mums do not feel they're given enough info on recovery. More in this exclusive report 👇 https://t.co/SOsy2tU9rq

In 2019, @WHO identified #vaccinehesitancy as 1 of the top 10 global health threats. But no one could have anticipated how much of a problem it would become. Our Technical Advisor @Amy_264 looks at 3 ways to overcome #COVID19 vaccine hesitancy https://t.co/5LigN5Ugsn @AFGHnetwork
