@BurdettTrust Chief Exec Shirley Baines & @NursingNow2020 Prof Holloway met yesterday with @WHO Health Workforce team to outline next steps and 1/2

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

#COVID19 cases are on the rise in many parts of the world.

Make sure you’re fully protected. #VaccinesWork to keep you safe. Check your vaccination status and consult your local health worker.

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

The reports of ongoing hostilities and heavy bombardment in #Gaza are petrifying.

Yesterday our team visited Nassar Medical Hospital in the south. It was packed with 1,000 patients — 3 times over its capacity. Countless people were seeking shelter, filling every corner of the facility.

Patients were receiving care on the floor, screaming in pain.

These conditions are beyond inadequate - unimaginable for the provision of health care.

I cannot find words strong enough to express our concern over what we’re witnessing.

Ceasefire. NOW.

Today I signed a strategic @WHO-@WISHQatar partnership with CEO Sultana Afdhal, ahead of the World Innovation Summit for Health 2024. Together, we will work on three collaborative projects focusing on the elimination of tuberculosis, palliative care, and the protection of health in armed conflict.

In the @LancetGH today by @DrTedros and six Ministers of health and finance: “It is time for governments and investors to prioritise health and care workforce investments as a foundation of our future health and prosperity. We can and must. Urgently.”

Violence and harassment against women and girls is unacceptable.

There is #NoExcuse!

ILO Convention 190 is designed to help free the world of work from violence and harassment.

During #16DaysOfActivism and every day, I call on all Member States to #RatifyC190 and implement it.

Time to protect health workers

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

Reports of military incursion into Al-Shifa hospital are deeply concerning.

We’ve lost touch again with health personnel at the hospital.

We’re extremely worried for their and their patients’ safety.
