Our rapid health needs assessment revealed a plethora of unmet needs of socially vulnerable groups who’ve been disproportionately impacted during COVID-19. They must be explicitly prioritised now and going forward @AmyJStevens1 @DOTW_UK @FPH @R_S_P_H https://t.co/4SY04ekrJh

FPH is gravely concerned about the implications of the ‘Safety of Rwanda' Bill for public health.

We call upon the government to urgently reconsider this approach, and work towards establishing a safe, fair, effective and humane asylum system.

[Faculty of Public Health @FPH]

FPH have joined with partner Royal Medical Colleges to sign this letter from @DOTW_UK urging Government to abandon the 'Safety of Rwanda (Asylum and Immigration) Bill' - which risks further harming already vulnerable people.

"Health can start here, not in Rwanda." 💙
We call on the Government to urgently abandon the #RwandaBill, which risks exposing men, women, including pregnant women, and children to irreparable harm. #StopRwanda

@Olacabs I have not been able to contact any customer service rep to report a lost phone - a driver I booked through you has not returned our calls after initial contact and we haven’t been able to contact him any other way. Can you help?

WHO statement on attack on Al Ahli Arab Hospital and reported large-scale casualties

WHO strongly condemns the attack on Al Ahli Arab Hospital in the north of the Gaza Strip. The hospital was operational, with patients, health and care givers, and internally displaced people sheltering there. Early reports indicate hundreds of fatalities and injuries.

The hospital was one of 20 in the north of the Gaza Strip facing evacuation orders from the Israeli military. The order for evacuation has been impossible to carry out given the current insecurity, critical condition of many patients, and lack of ambulances, staff, health system bed capacity, and alternative shelter for those displaced.

WHO calls for the immediate active protection of civilians and health care. Evacuation orders must be reversed. International humanitarian law must be abided by, which means health care must be actively protected and never targeted.

I spent last week in South Sudan, where thousands of people are flooding over the border from neighbouring Sudan to flee the war.

What I saw shocked me to the core - and though it may feel far away, the UK has a role in all of this.

This is what I found🧵

[Medact @Medact]

The pay announcement today contains blatant dividing tactics from this Government, yet again aiming to pit the fight for fair public sector pay against a just immigration system.

Doubling a discriminatory tax on migrant visas wont fund pay increases 🧵

Our full letter regarding vaccine inequity and the emergence of new variants has been published by the Faculty of Public Health. Read it here: https://t.co/5DAY9q5TXF @FPH @TheBMA @WHOAFRO @gavi

[Katherine Körner (she/her) @KatherineKorner]

Incredible proud of this letter, led by @Smruti_Sinmyee:

Global vaccine equity is the only way we can hope to tackle covid, and we in wealthier countries MUST stop hoarding supply and blocking production/imports if we don't want further dangerous variants

Our rapid health needs assessment identified significant unmet needs of socially vulnerable groups who have been disproportionately impacted by COVID-19. These must be urgently addressed to prevent widening health inequalities @ahimza @DOTW_UK @ADPHUK https://t.co/qV0CmXajFj

[Ben Phillips @benphillips76]

In the 1990s, when ARVs were found to save the lives of people with HIV, people in rich countries got them & lived, while people in poor countries didn’t, so 12 million died. Big companies refused to share the recipe with other producers, until forced to. Leaders said never again

💥 Day 3 of #NoBordersInTheNHS Week of Action! Today we say #SolidarityKnowsNoBorders: End the Hostile Environment 🌍🗣️📣

The Hostile Environment seeks to destroy lives and undermine access to vital public services - from schools, to housing, to healthcare.

[Tommy's @tommys]

In June, @_OliviaBlake MP raised the findings and recommendations of our #MiscarriageMatters Lancet research in Parliament.

This was thanks to over 175,000 of our supporters signing our petition to demand the Government make changes to miscarriage care.
