One thing I have loved about attending the @WHO#WHA79 and the World Health Assembly over the past decade is that the United Nations @UN in #Geneva is such a peaceful place to promote progress...
WHO hosted complex #GlobalHealthArchitecture change conversations @WHO#WHA79 to push @UN Member States for a Member State-led process to simplify #GlobalHealth duplications inefficiencies & competition but might create silos, less NGO #CivilSociety power

Important @WHO#WHA79 to hear updates on budget cuts, #hantavirus, #PublicHealth emergency of international concern for #Ebola outbreak in Congo and Uganda, the Pathogen Access & Benefit Sharing system #PABS Annex which should be approved soon, & #GlobalHealthArchitecture changes
Helpful @GenevaForum led us through this @WHO#WHA79 for our global projects. Have you done STEEP analysis for how short-long term news & research from
Society
Technology
Economy
Environment &
Politics
will #ImpactDiplomacy of your #GlobalHealth project?

Great participating in @UN Economic & Social Council @UNECOSOC (platform coordinating economic, social, environmental, humanitarian sustainable development work) at end of @WHO#WHA79 Global Impact Projects workshop led by Thomas Egli @GenevaForum

... sunscreen to prevent cancer, toothpaste/mouthwash to prevent cavities etc., means a healthcare worker doesn't have to address that & can focus on non-preventable issues. @WHO & med systems have spent $ on high-cost care & prevention but there's power in personal care
#WHA79
$1 of self-care results in $7 of value. @WHO knows #self-care is 1st step to health especially when doctors/pharmacists have less & less time to spend w/ patients. We can encourage all to take charge of their own health & MUST in #LMIC due to limited access to MDs/services #WHA79
Hot @WHO#WHA79:
#self-care:
ability to promote your own health, prevent disease, cope w/ ills/disability +/- health worker. VP Global Public Gov Affairs at #Kenvue (makes Tylenol, Benadryl etc) says problem is consumers get info from social media but have Trust Gap believing it
Ali Besri @WHO#WHA79: #LMIC bear majority of burden of disease & only 15% of funding so @Pfizer created Accord for a Healthier World; 19 countries access 100s of meds via this public private partnership.
#PPPs work but @GhanaMoh says last mile's hardest

#WHA79@WHO said despite $ cuts #WHOTransformation improved normative (norms, standards, protocols, frameworks) technical work like prequalified #lenacapavir for #HIVprevention & produced its guidelines in 8 months (faster than usual yrs for them!) under new Chief Scientist role
So #Lenacapavir isn’t officially approved for use in pediatric HIV prevention but clinical trials are underway by @GileadSciences
for patients <18 yrs old, >/= 35 kg.
@NIH#HIV Guidelines has adult dosing (hope we can advocate soon for kids):

HIV Endgame @WHO#WHA79
Rhoda Igweta @EGPAF works with governments so w/ success of #Lenacapavir let’s scale!
Michel Joly @GileadSciences has committed to treat 3 million people in 3 yrs but Avac Mitchell Warren @HIVpxresearch says must treat 5 mil in 10 yrs to end #HIVepidemic
Great to hear The HIV Endgame: Can World Deliver on Lenacapavir @WHO#WHA79 Michel Joly @GileadSciences: 2 shots/yr prevents #HIV in 99% of folks despite sex/pregnancy. Mitchell Warren @Avac @HIVpxresearch: no product’s perfect but it gets patients to clinic #HIVPrEP#eradication
