Thanks to @SoSowemimo for writing her book: https://t.co/LUNnNpZqRg

Illustrated throughout with compelling story-telling, it makes the case with incisive evidence and history, the need to re-think healthcare for those from racially minoritised backgrounds.

[Race & Health @raceandhealth]

Racism kills and climate change kills.

#Haiti was the first country in the world to permanently abolish slavery & the slave trade. Haitians dealt a decisive blow to the entire system of slavery. Our ancestors became a threat to the existing world order. Haitian history is world history. Happy Haitian Heritage Month!🇭🇹

[Prof Mishal S Khan @DrMishalK]

Promises to be an insightful event with @NaiduThirusha!

[UAEM @uaem]

50% of global health leaders are nationals of just 2 countries - the UK and the U.S.

@FifaRahman asks, how can we be sure they have a true understanding of the needs of communities around the world?

Sharing anti-racism resources compiled by Black medical students. Of all these I would recommend Medical Apartheid by Martha Washington as a great starting point for those of us in Medicine https://t.co/FQUcrM451J

📖 "disrupting monopolised knowledge, old, dichotomised narratives, and exclusionary practices will require concerted and sustained action from all actors within global health"

– this article suggests 3 "positive disruptions" to redefine knowledge/research practice in GH

I'm proud of this one. I've concluded most global health people don't talk about justice cuz they actually don't know what it means or how to apply it to their work. Pandemic treaty is imp opp for justice.

@khosla_rajat n I wrote to make some noise.

EDCTP3 is a great example of an intentional initiative for equitable research partnerships.

If you’re an #African or #European clinical researcher check them out during the info day or check online! They also support operational research for
Health system strengthening.

"I often hear colleagues say that 'science is objective'. But that is simply not true. Even science is influenced by social contexts. And when much of our scientific understanding originates in deeply racist, colonialist contexts, we must challenge it." -@SoSowemimo in #Divided

Important reflections in last week's panel ft @paimadhu, @DrMishalK, Dr Rohan Deb Roy, DGH + FAIR (Fight Against Institutional Racism) reps, @LSHTM_TB

What does decolonisation of global health really mean? Plus transparent goal setting, strategic advocacy, material resources...

[Toyin Togun, PhD FFPH @TogunToyin]

Delighted to have @paimadhu, @DrMishalK, Dr Rohan Deb Roy (U of Reading), and reps of @LSHTM independent advocacy groups (#DGH & 'Fight Against Institutional Racism [FAIR] networks) at a lunchtime discussion on #DecolonisingGlobalHealth. @LSHTM_TB @CFMcQuaid
