Health is a fundamental human right.

June is men’s mental health awareness month. To my fellow men, I know opening up and asking for help is difficult, but find that one buddy who you do not only share vibes and drinks with — but also deep conversations. You will be shocked when you discover that you’re not alone.🌅

When COVID hit, the world reverted to letting monopolies block science again.

It abandoned the hard-won HIV response model — where states use law to compel sharing, scale up production, roll out low-cost doses — for failed voluntary efforts.

At least 1.3 million lives could have been saved.

A profound failure of politics.

The fight continues. New HIV prevention tools, cancer and obesity drugs, TB and even #Ebola...

We need a system that drives research not monopolies.

The #PandemicAgreement got stuck because wealthy governments want only 'voluntary' measures—that did not work on AIDS, COVID...

Exceptions are not working.
WTO waivers are not working.
Voluntary measures are not working.
This system of the last 40 years is not working for people's health.
This time of crisis is a time for reinvention.
We need to change the rules themselves. The South must lead...

You may not see it yet, but everything is quietly aligning in your favor.

That policy must be recalled, before the current pre-interns are deployed.

Uganda Red Cross is strengthening readiness by training more Safe and Dignified Burial (SDB) teams to support response to the Bundibugyo Ebola virus disease outbreak.

SDB teams are building skills to safely manage human remains, prevent infection, ensure traceability, and uphold dignity through respectful, community‑centred approaches.

With support from @IFRC, @UgandaRedCross teams are on the ground delivering life‑saving assistance.

The IFRC's Emergency Appeal of CHF 29 million is supporting scale‑up of community engagement, surveillance, SDB, infection prevention, and cross‑border readiness: https://t.co/nJ4yBKqcWv

Our ancestors taught us Ubuntu,"I am because we are." We cannot claim community resilience while actively stripping away the rights, safety, and health of others. Inclusion is our tradition. #RejectTheCharter #RaiseYourVoice
