@HillaryMusarurw Focal Point stores usually have someone who can certify (I’ve used the one at Avondale shops).

Children living in poverty are more likely to have poorer health outcomes including low birth weight, poor physical health & mental health problems.

We urge all political parties to make tackling child poverty central to their general election manifestos.

@rashida_abbferr @ZvitamboZim At discharge, only half of children were on ART. And amongst those not on ART at discharge, a quarter never started during the year of follow-up. Need to explore why (?safety concerns), and look for ways to improve (hospital initiation vs. community-based continuum of care).

UK 2023: “Due to the soaring cost of infant formula, families experiencing food poverty are being forced to resort to unsafe feeding practices, including stretching out time between feeds and giving their babies food which is not suitable, like porridge." https://t.co/2qGBdSAmE4

The high #CostofLiving for children & adolescents in the UK:

The list goes on and the situation is getting worse

Watch out for the Welsh football team if they have @michaelsheen giving the motivational speech. @Cymru

[Wellcome @wellcometrust]

Most scientific studies focus on western, educated, industrialised, rich and democratic (WEIRD) populations.

But to improve health globally, we need to make our health data less WEIRD and more representative of human experience across the planet. [1/2]

The #monkeypox vaccine scramble bodes poorly for negotiating an effective, equitable #PandemicTreaty.
Good comments from @MarkRTurner.
