The 56th Symposium of the Medical Society of Papua New Guinea has officially begun after a 2-yr break due to COVID-19. I feel hopeful after hearing opening remarks from Hon Dr Lino Tom, incoming Health Minister in the Marape/Rosso Government. #PNG

“COVID is NOT a joke and is not to be played with, … and I can 100 per cent assure you this is not a flu like some of you say it is.” - indeed, it is not the flu, and it’s not obvious that it will ever be; we should not use that language. #COVID19Aus

“The holy grail is a vaccine that’s cheap and effective and highly available. And you know, we just might have it. It’s a very big discovery announced in the last week by Oxford.” - Professor Brendan Crabb AC. More at https://t.co/wA4w4nkw95

The amount spent on #malaria given its impact as a major driver of poverty for a third or so of the world's population … what we spend is a drop in the bucket! @CrabbBrendan told @abcsydney @ACFID @BeesonMalaria @billbowtell https://t.co/wA4w4nkw95

[Burnet Institute @BurnetInstitute]

What #COVID19 taught us is the value of investing. In #malaria’s case, we could spend 2, 3 or 4 times more, both on developing and distributing these interventions. And the rewards would be phenomenal thru malaria, HIV and TB. The world can be transformed. https://t.co/Vjum8zVtSF
