This post is just a long rant about why I am so frustrated with the absence of systems in the Sierra Leone health sector. No, this is not political! I am just outraged. I am tired of saying RIP to my colleagues, family and my friends.

#WorldHealthDay is a reminder to ensure quality health services to everyone in need, and not only those that can afford them.

#COVID-19 has demonstrated that no one is safe until everyone is safe. It’s time to demand #VaccinEquity. Build a fairer, healthier world for all. @WHO

I’m chuffed about our virtual engagement with members of the UK parliament & @MalariaNTDAPPG on critical #globalhealth health issues, today. My team presented a policy brief on the merits and drawbacks of a “One Health” approach for NTDs & Malaria control. @OxIHTM

Fantastic presentation by @TweetPaddy as he finishes his talk detailing the big inequalities in the COVID-19 pandemic, as disadvantaged citizens as the most at risk of death. #judasilGA2020 @mohs_sl

School-related gender-based violence is a significant barrier to universal education & the right of girls to education. Small acts can have a huge effect on ending violence against women. Everyone's got a part to play. What role are you going to play? #orangetheworld, #16Days

Spent some time on my "personal annual review" today, and I thought I'd share my personal "10 keys to success" as a junior/mid-career scientist. Would love for others to add to this - and if you think an open zoom call on this topic would be useful, let me know, I'll schedule.

The reproduction number or R value is a way of rating a disease's ability to spread.

This simple but crucial figure helps us understand the risk posed by the #COVID-19 pandemic. It should also guide government on the actions needed to preserve lives & to lift lockdowns.

Washing your 👐🏾 frequently w/ 🧼 & 💦 or using alcohol-based hand rub kills viruses that may be on your hands.

Pharmacy students @COMAHS_USL & @NAPS_SL have today launched an alcohol-based hand rub #NAPSOL which they developed locally. Truly impressive! #COVID19 #SaloneTwitter
