Reflections from the World Health Summit Regional Meeting, Kampala Uganda 2021 https://t.co/GNFKJdIcQ8 Featured article by @cssemugabo8 & @rawleng. The duo from @MakSPH contend that the @WorldHealthSmt showed that Africa is ready to lead the decolonization of global health.
Shekhar Potkar, Regional Chief Medical Officer at @ViatrisInc shared three insightful lessons and solution perspectives on how to battle NCDs in the regions of Africa - its investment, implementation, and involvement. Hear his statement in detail 🗣️ @WorldHealthSmt@WHSKampala

"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
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
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!)
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.

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.
