‼️👂🏽Please support this @globalohns / Ear, Nose, and Throat Surgery analysis of workforce, infrastructure, training, and barriers to care.
The resulting data will support strengthening ENT care (eg head and neck cancer, hearing loss) for those with limited/no access. #GlobalOHNS

Everybody in the world has a right to basic healthcare, says Kee B. Park, M.D. Prevention of injuries is important, but it should not stop there. It's time to invest in the health of the developing world, and that includes, first and foremost, a trauma system. @SIGNtweeter
This is a monumental moment in the fight against #COVID19. The commitment by @POTUS Joe Biden & @USTradeRep@AmbassadorTai to support the waiver of IP protections on vaccines is a powerful example of 🇺🇸 leadership to address global health challenges.
@StanfordSWAT@explorersurgeon@DavidASpain teamwork, inc. @OpNotes PGY1 Joshua Villareal + incoming PGY1 Jung Gi Min. Some findings:
1) chest tube: bigger is not better
2) watch for delayed HTX
3) routine CXR post-chest tube insertion/removal: ?need

Including refugees in national COVID-19 vaccination plans is one thing...
Making sure there are vaccines to give is another...
We call for fair and equal access to COVID-19 vaccines for everyone in every country.

Great discussion today! Thank you @SaferSurgery! Some ideas (1/2): journals have reviewers that speak different languages, why not review some articles in other languages and sponsor the translation of it is good? #globalhealth#some4pedsurg
great to see fellow @StanfordSurgery faculty @TGWeiser @DrTiffanyChao and @StanfordUrology Harchi Gill at another year of exams. Congrats @cosecsa 234 candidates examined this COVID year!
.@WorldBank and @UN make emergency COVID-19 support available to migrant, #refugee, and internally displaced populations & host communities –in both low and middle-income countries like #Colombia, #Ecuador, #Jordan, and #Lebanon.
The study has two main results:
1. We still need to descentralize Brazilian SAO workforce. Career programs could help.
2. @isabellaxfaria 🇧🇷👩⚕️ first author, helping decolonizing #globalhealth
Estudo que demonstra que temos que descentralizar nosso força de trabalho cirúrgica.
Congratulations, President @JoeBiden and Vice-President @KamalaHarris 🇺🇸.
We at UNHCR look forward to working with you on strengthening US global support to refugees, rebuilding the US resettlement programme and ensuring that the US asylum system is effective, just and humane.
.@WHO is a family of nations. We are all glad that the United States of America 🇺🇸 is staying in the family. #WeAreFamily

I am a "global health" statistician; I love data, appreciate the value of estimates.
I have struggled with the lack of data for key questions in many areas of the world.
This article is an incredibly important read for all. 1/
