"We need to prioritise mental health & psychosocial support for health workers at all levels, not just the secondary/tertiary...so community health workers, because they bridge the gap between the communities & the health system. " @WurieHaja#WHAweek

"Masked heroines" are not only nurses and midwives, but also #CHWs. #genderequity is required at all levels.

@WHO@INTGenderChamps At #WHA73, the % of women chief delegates is EXACTLY THE SAME as it was five years ago. Where's the progress towards #GenderParity in #GlobalHealth leadership and decision-making? A commitment to #GenderEquality is clear in the #COVID19 resolution, but we can do better than this!
“The vaccine against #COVID19 should be a global public good and its access needs to be equitable and universal," says @EU_Commission#PreventionSavesLives https://t.co/dY9x5PfYwf
New medicines must be tested & be in line with ethical & scientific standards. We caution countries against adopting products that have not undergone rigorous clinical trials to ensure their safety & effectiveness against #COVID19. One fight.
The #COVID19 crisis can be a good opportunity for developing a more sustainable world.

We may all be in lockdown together, but the effects are far from equal. @Food_Foundation survey shows food insecurity: 200,000 skipping meals because of family food shortage.
Learning good examples for addressing mis-information. 'infodemic' is a real threat to rapid prevention of and recovery from #COVID19. @UNDRR webinar "Risk communication to prevent the spread of COVID-19: Countering the ‘Infodemic’"

Joining LSTM's virtual symposium 'Global Health Research and Vaccination in the context of emerging pandemics towards ending preventable deaths' Thank you for emphasising the importance of equity in #COVID19 response. @LSTMnews@TolhurstRachel@sallytheobald@ARISEHub
"As new vaccine candidates are developed, we hope the same global collaboration will continue in the development, testing and access to them. We have to ensure that people everywhere, in all countries, have access to the vaccine."

"This crisis has given us a huge opportunity to reboot how we view economic growth and to recognize what is important for our survival as a species and for the sustainable development of the planet" https://t.co/Od8JHMtGIZ
There is no doubt that millions of people will be displaced this year in countries simultaneously fighting the spread of #Covid_19 This underlines the need for national disaster management agencies and public health authorities to integrate their efforts https://t.co/CyiNwnrmkt
