A stark message from J. Hansen today at the Int. Court of Justice -"Human-caused climate change is poised to be the greatest injustice in history. The reach of CC is global. The scope of climate change, within the lifetime of a young person today, will be monumental and tragic"

“It’s hard for me to feel sad that the CEO was killed. I’m in social work. So many of the people I see who are homeless have similar stories: they got a debilitating illness, which caused them to go bankrupt, or get addicted to drugs. Meanwhile these health insurance companies are profiting from people not getting the care they need. Millions of people suffer from that behavior. Where is the justice for those people? Maybe violence is never the answer. But this isn’t a question of morality to me. It’s a cause-and-effect thing. This is what happens when people aren’t being heard. The system isn’t working. This is where the government was supposed to step in, but it didn’t. And millions of people were left with nowhere to turn. I’m uncomfortable that violence was used. But also, it’s nice to finally have some pushback.”

Imagine a one-year-old baby weighing only 4 kilograms.

This is what happened to Abdullah from Yemen, who was critically ill from severe acute malnutrition.

He received life-saving care, but many children in the conflict-torn country still remain at risk.

Great short thread. Been banging my head against the wall for years trying to get these points across to pediatricians.

I will also say again, as I've said over and over for years, the pre-planned NI margin is not the key to interpretation of results. It is the actual 95% CI of the result that matters. A pre-planned margin of 10%, with a result of -3% to +17% would be a fantastic result.

‘My screams went unheard’: Women and girls suffer in Kenya’s worst drought in 40 years.

Climate change isn’t only normalising acute malnutrition – it is exposing drought migrants to increased sexual violence and child marriage.

Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern #Gaza was attacked again last night, and a nurse, an x-ray technician and an administrative employee were injured.

Continued attacks on the hospital and the health system in Gaza are depriving people of lifesaving care. We call for protection of all health workers, patients and health facilities, and an immediate ceasefire.

Transforming Global Health Education: WHO Academy

It feels like yesterday, when President @EmmanuelMacron and I held a corridor conversation at the G20 Leaders Summit in Argentina in 2018 about the potential to revolutionise training for health professionals by setting up an academy. In two weeks time, on 17 December, the journey will reach its first key milestone -- the WHO Academy inauguration in Lyon.

The Academy is a cornerstone of WHO's Transformation agenda, launched in 2017 to make the organization more responsive to country needs. Among the major shifts in strategy, processes, financing, and culture, the Academy stands out as a vehicle to build up the capacities of WHO’s workforce and Member States alike.

When we ask Member States what is needed most, the answer is consistent: training and capacity building. While WHO has long supported capacity-building efforts, these have lacked the scale and institutionalization needed for global impact. The Academy changes that by delivering lifelong learning at the scale required to achieve health for all.

The Academy’s vision is straightforward yet ambitious: a world where every health and care worker, policymaker and WHO team member is equipped with the skills and competencies they need to achieve health for all.

The COVID-19 pandemic underscored the critical value of health workers while exposing a global shortage of 10 million. Lifelong learning, combined with the latest scientific advances, will be key to bridging this gap and enhancing quality worldwide.

WHO has always been a leader in technical guidance across health issues, but implementing these standards has often been a challenge due to inadequate training. The Academy helps bridge this gap by offering cutting-edge learning solutions tailored to the needs of today’s health workforce, including emergency preparedness and response.

With generous support from the Government of France, the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, and the Lyon Métropole, the Academy features:
- A state-of-the-art learning campus in Lyon for in-person and remote training.
- An intelligent online learning platform offering free access to world-class courses on priority health topics.

Next month’s ceremony marks the official opening of the Lyon campus and the global launch of hundreds of courses on the online platform. Early-release courses, available since 2023, have already refined the learner experience, paving the way for the Academy to become WHO’s central hub for health training.

I invite all Member States and health professionals around the world to join us in celebrating this moment and help us make the WHO Academy a centre of excellence for the whole world!
