[EMERGENCY @emergency_ong]

"Cooperazione regionale in ambito sanitario può favorire transizione transnazionale verso un sistema sanitario funzionale e resiliente. Formazione continua e di qualità e coinvolgimento politico sono le chiavi per fare dell'assistenza sanitaria bene comune globale." @rossmiccio

[EMERGENCY @emergency_ong]

Obiettivi Sviluppo Sostenibile (SDGs) ricordano di garantire un’assistenza sanitaria globale. Gli operatori sanitari sono fondamentai per difendere la #salute di tutti ma la mancanza di personale rischia di aumentare entro il 2030, soprattutto in #Africa." @rossmiccio @WHSKampala

[Prof. Nasreen Jessani @NasreenJessani]

If you aren't listening in, its not 2late 2join! Currently listening to debate on #vaccineequity & #vaccinenationalism moderated by @sewankam. Caution: don't let outliers decide what's right for the population (one vaccinated person who died does not render vaccines useless!)

[Timo 👨🏾‍💻 @cristianwaniaye]

Dr. Yonas Tegegn, C.R @WHOUganda commends Tanzania as they start a vaccination drive but reminds them that they have an uphill task to get at par with their colleagues who started earlier.

[Dr Matshidiso Moeti @MoetiTshidi]

Starting the week with a brilliant conversation on #GenderEquality in @WHSKampala. Women are the majority of the health workforce but hold only 25% of leadership roles. The maths shows that there is work to be done!

To women, I say: You’re worth it, you’re enough, go for it.
