[Dr. Tom Frieden @DrTomFrieden]

Honored to join @MikeBloomberg, @YvanButera, Prof. Roma Chilengi, @OsteoClark and @dalmaluf at an event hosted by @BloombergDotOrg, @coeff_giving, and Partnership for a Lead-Free Future to discuss how countries are moving from commitment to action to prevent deaths from lead.

Addressing lead sources has an enormous return on investment: The world eliminated lead from gasoline by 2021, saving literally millions of lives and trillions of dollars.

If we support countries to establish effective environmental public health programs that can regulate, inspect, enforce, engage, and analyze, the world can stop lead poisoning, save millions of lives and protect the next generations of children.

Analyzing the political landscape is a crucial first step to successful advocacy. If you haven’t mapped out who has the power to affect policy and what levers are available, you may not get far in advocating for change.

[Dr. Tom Frieden @DrTomFrieden]

Public health starts with two questions: what’s killing people, and what can stop these killers?

Rwanda created a system to answer these questions. Their success shows that it’s possible to count every death within days, find the cause of most, and use that data to make public health decisions. Other countries can follow their lead.

See/believe/create is a formula to improve health for communities and individuals. My book, The Formula for Better Health, available in Kindle and audiobook forms, is now releasing in paperback on October 6. I describe how to apply the formula to save lives and create a healthier world.

A major milestone for hypertension control in Islamabad.
@DhoIslamabad , with support from @GhsiGlobal , @ResolveTSL , @NIH_Pakistan , and @WHO , conducted a #WHOHEARTS Implementation Training.
Now all primary care centres in Islamabad are following a unified protocol.

[Dr. Rana Jawad Asghar @jasghar]

#Islamabad's population is getting screened & treated for #hypertension using the #WHO HEARTS Linear Drug Protocol. Thanks to leadership from @nhsrcofficial @DhoIslamabad @CDAthecapital Health Services & @ResolveTSL for initiating an important #NCD project in #Pakistan

[Dr. Rana Jawad Asghar @jasghar]

Every new Prime/Chief Minister is unhappy with hospitals.But nothing happens?
"With no visible effort on population growth & very little investment in addressing the public health reasons, no number of increases in beds can solve Pakistan’s health issues

Pakistan's grand polio elimination scheme - USD $10B + no transparency on money, cases, or environmental sampling. False celebration of seasonal variation & attempts to alter case counts.(India with 5x pop'n done 10 yrs ago). Truth & solutions: @jasghar

Together, let's save lives from Pakistan's leading killer

[Dr. Rana Jawad Asghar @jasghar]

The @WHOPakistan and @GhsiGlobal have agreed to work collaboratively to assist the government of #Pakistan in improving the #hypertension situation in the country. Uncontrolled hypertension is a major cause of cardiovascular deaths in Pakistan.

Great piece by @jasghar. NEPRA is a joke. But it is never funny.

That is science!

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

Through his pioneering research, Svante Pääbo – this year’s #NobelPrize laureate in physiology or medicine – accomplished something seemingly impossible: sequencing the genome of the Neanderthal, an extinct relative of present-day humans.

25 deaths out of 54 cases!

That is why field epidemiologists are always worried about #Ebola outbreak spreading out of control

We need to invest in health intelligence which should be beyond routine disease reporting systems

After #HurricaneIan, stay out of floodwater. Floodwater can contain many things that can make you sick including germs, dangerous chemicals, human and animal poop, or dead animals. https://t.co/pkEJkvj5wI
