@JNkengasong: Like any architecture, multilaterals suffer with age. We need to look at them and say, "We have room for improvement." COVID showed us the limits of multilaterals and the erosion of trust. We need to look at regional architecture, too. @DukeGHI #HealthInnovationAt15

[DukeGHIC @DukeGhic]

@JNkengasong: reasons for #globalhealth optimism incl digital health & #AI, #vaccineinnovation, fiscal & regulatory policy, precision medicine, one health approach, community & primary care. @DukeGHI #HealthInnovationAt15

@JNkengasong asks: Do we need a #PEPFAR for #NCDs? @DukeGHI #HealthInnovationAt15

[DukeGHIC @DukeGhic]

@JNkengasong asserts that we must move toward a #primarycare platform and three disease agendas: rising burden, next threat, unfinished business. @DukeGHI #HealthInnovationAt15

[DukeGHIC @DukeGhic]

@JNkengasong has started the 2026 @VictorDzau Lecture in Global Health. Topic: "Global Health: Looking Backward and Forward." #HealthInnovationAt15

[DukeGHIC @DukeGhic]

Many innovators who seasoned our days at #HealthInnovationAt15 are beginning to fly home. For those who remain, it's on to the @DukeGHI alumni awards.

[DukeGHIC @DukeGhic]

@DukeGHI alumni offer advice to former selves: you don't need a perfect five-year plan. You do need to understand what you can do now and what learning to chase. #HealthInnovationAt15

[DukeGHIC @DukeGhic]

Big Question #3: How can students chart a path in a changing global health landscape? @DukeGHI panel responds: 1st job may not be what you thought it would be. But does it afford a chance to work with people you admire?

[DukeGHIC @DukeGhic]

@WueltonMonteiro: We must be careful not to romanticize "resilience" with climate change. Solidarity among communities is good, but can't overcome problems that institutions need to address. #HealthInnovationAt15

[DukeGHIC @DukeGhic]

@GLokoel84873, chief officer for medical services for Turkana Co. in NW #Kenya: drought cycles used to be every 10 years. Now, every 2-3 years. This raises real food insecurity among pastoralists. #HealthInnovationAt15

[DukeGHIC @DukeGhic]

Why is the burden on LMICs to identify methods to adapt to climate change? They shouldn't have to do the work alone. #HealthInnovationAt15

[DukeGHIC @DukeGhic]

Big Question #2: How will we meet the health challenges of climate change? Panel responses cite cyclones, floods, snake bites, crocodile encounters. #HealthInnovationAt15

[DukeGHIC @DukeGhic]

Reasons for optimism? Sarah Bermeo, Associate Professor at Sanford: Students continue to flock to global health. We have academic freedom. #HealthInnovationAt15

[DukeGHIC @DukeGhic]

Questions about country/regional ownership. Maybe our language should shift to "agency"? #HealthInnovationAt15
