LIVE: Update on #hantavirus https://t.co/N8qLxseYdj

[Dr. Raven S. Johnson @RavenS_Johnson]

I hope everyone is following @WHO for updates and progress on this virus, especially since America official withdrew from them since January 22, 2026.

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

So far, eight cases of #hantavirus have been reported, including three deaths.

While this is a serious incident, @WHO assesses the public health risk as low.

WHO will continue to work with all relevant governments and partners to provide care for those who are affected, protect the safety and dignity of passengers, and prevent onward spread of the virus.

[Dr. Raven S. Johnson @RavenS_Johnson]

We have to prepare for the worst and hope for the best. It might be another pandemic entering in 2026.

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

Swiss authorities have confirmed a case of #hantavirus identified in a passenger from the MV Hondius cruise ship.

He had responded to an email from the ship’s operator informing the passengers of the health event, and presented himself to a hospital in Zurich, Switzerland, and is receiving care.

In line with the International Health Regulations (IHR), WHO is working with relevant countries to support international contact tracing, to ensure that those potentially exposed are monitored and that any further disease spread is limited.

The type of virus in this outbreak has been confirmed as Andes hantavirus by the National Institute for Communicable Diseases @nicd_sa, South Africa and the Geneva University Hospitals @hug_ge, Switzerland
The support of the Institut Pasteur de Dakar @PasteurDakar, Senegal and the Administración Nacional de Laboratorios e Institutos de Salud @ANLIS_Malbran, Argentina has also been critical in responding to this event.

As of 6 May, there are 8 cases, 3 of whom are confirmed as hantavirus by laboratory testing.

WHO will continue to work with countries to ensure that the patients, contacts, passengers and crew have the information and support they need to stay safe and prevent spread.

The more I study healthcare operations, the more I realize:

Many system challenges are not clinical.

They're organizational design problems.

Curious how different organizations are addressing this.

[Dr. Raven S. Johnson @RavenS_Johnson]

I'm continuing to learn from healthcare leaders about the real-world operational challenges behind value-based care.

Appreciate the thoughtful perspectives people have been sharing.

[Dr. Raven S. Johnson @RavenS_Johnson]

The shift to value-based healthcare is often described as a payment model change.

In reality, it's an organizational transformation challenge.

Leadership alignment, governance, and operational execution matter just as much as the contract.

#ValueBasedCare #HealthcareTransform

[Dr. Raven S. Johnson @RavenS_Johnson]

Healthcare transformation discussions often focus on policy and payment models.

But implementation ultimately happens inside organizations.

Operational leadership becomes critical.

Even listening to their idea of "love" is just perfect and so basic in nature. Why can't everything in life just be this simple? #LoveOnTheSpectrum

[Dr. Raven S. Johnson @RavenS_Johnson]

Watching #LoveOnTheSpectrum on Netflix is so heart-warming 🥰 their innocence and excitement to start dating is just magical

[Dr. Raven S. Johnson @RavenS_Johnson]

Healthcare question:

What is the hardest part of engaging physicians in value-based care initiatives?

• Incentives
• Workflow redesign
• Data transparency
• Leadership alignment

To everyone celebrating Easter, Michelle and I wish you a joyful holiday filled with reminders of the enduring power of faith and hope.

[Dr. Raven S. Johnson @RavenS_Johnson]

I'm continuing to study how physician organizations are adapting to risk-based and value-based care models.

Always interested in hearing how different teams approach governance, care coordination, and accountability structures.

#HealthcareLeadership #ValueBasedCare

[Dr. Raven S. Johnson @RavenS_Johnson]

Population health success requires coordination across:

primary care
specialists
care managers
hospitals
community services
That level of alignment is harder than it sounds.

Trump last year: "I'm not going to touch Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid."

Trump today: "It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare."

[Dr. Raven S. Johnson @RavenS_Johnson]

@DemocraticWins Priorities are screwed smh

[Dr. Raven S. Johnson @RavenS_Johnson]

Quality improvement and population health are related, but not identical.

Quality focuses on metrics.

Population health focuses on systems and coordination.

Organizations that confuse the two often struggle operationally.

More than 400 hospitals across the U.S. are at high risk of closing or cutting services because of the Medicaid cuts in President Trump’s “big, beautiful bill,” according to an analysis from the progressive watchdog group Public Citizen. https://t.co/2Jy04HvAQy
