Starting the #PMAC session "How do we reduce the impact of healthcare on the environment?" with declaration of carbon levels all the session panelist used to travel to bkk, Thailand. What is the way out? Do we continue meeting zoom/hybrid? Is onsite productivity worth it?
**Breaking news** @HarvardPGSSC’s exceptional @hamaiyal Sana was just elected the first ever Vice Chair of the @WHO#YouthCouncil. Pictured here with the team and @DrTedros. We are so proud of you, congratulations, looking forward to the enormous impact you will make.
Starting #PMAC 2nd day super fresh with talks on giving youth places on the table. A passionate panel with some of my favorite speakers on board @MMamdouhEissa@omniaelomrani1
A panel on food system transformation at #PMAC2023 "It could be true that people don't wanna shift their diet, but our options will be limited if we don't take action now" coming from Prof.Jessica Fanzo @JohnsHopkinsSPH
Very excited at opening for #PMAC2023 - probably the best global health conference in the world.
This year’s theme - Setting a new health agenda: At the Nexus of Climate Change, Environment and Biodiversity. Feels like health properly joining the climate/environment movement.
@manon_pigeolet@HarvardPGSSC@IFMSA Agree Manon - so true. Not all interviewers are familiar with global surgery or the policy arena but all programs care about expertise and passion. It’s your job to demonstrate both and good programs will be able to recognize it!
I often hear from @HarvardPGSSC and @IFMSA IMGs applying to the #match that surgery programs dont care about policy exp.
My first interview Q today was: tell me about the #UN and the #SDGs
They care about the skills you gained, leverage it in your application
We have to address #SRHR issues through policy and credible data collection. The youth needs to be included as a part of solution #Youth4Health@WHO#WHA75
Access to family planning is crucial to achieving health equity. This access has been impeded by COVID-19 pandemic through disrupting health services and growing misinformation @WHO#WHA75#Youth4Health
Inclusion of all parts of civil society is crucial in ensuring #SRHR for all. Left-behind populations, including #youth, child-marriage victims or pregnant adolescents are often deprecies of SRHR! @WHO#WHA75#Youth4Health
Even though SRHR is not the main focus of this year's WHA, it is still a crucial step to achieving health equity for all. Please help our group retweet this to spread the message to relevant stakeholders! #WHA75#Youth4Health
#Youth is crucial to recognize the importance of CSE. Young people have to raise awareness to policy makers within their local communities #WHA75#Youth4Health@WHO
