“Nous avons suivi des enfants qui nous ont donné espoir pendant 15 ans, 16 ans, et ensuite ils sont morts, tout juste parce que nous avons une mauvaise prise en charge.” -Christine Kafando, Espoir pour demain #DeDakaraPraia
“ We must do whatever it takes to protect the most vulnerable people. We must make prevention available, accessible and affordable.” Paula Auberson-Munderi, @UNAIDS
“Le Luxembourg est dès la première heure un des grands supporters de l’initiative du @CivilSocietyWCA et de @UNAIDS. Ce n’est qu’à travers un dialogue, une collaboration technique et politique que nous atteindrons des résultats adéquats.” -Thomas Barbancey, Ambassade @luxembourg
Principle 2 of the universal values promoted by the @UN is the need to leave no one behind. It is a principle of humanism. The representative of #Luxembourg reminds us of the importance of ensuring quality care for all.

In case it needs to be said, there are very few places in Ontario (or the world) where MDs can be effective in their jobs without partnership from allied health professionals.
@sdbaral@sebmodak Thank you @sdbaral for your generosity and the amazing work you have done in senegal and the region to advance science and public health
#COVID19 is a scary time.
Fear turns to anger in a heartbeat and it's natural to vent.
Before we blame choices for driving infections, check if socioeconomic inequities predict infections locally as is often the case.
If they do, let's start with blaming and fixing the system.
Just so we're clear:
One can be both anti-pandemic and anti-zero #COVID.
While I don't advertise, I have been face-to-face with this virus in clinical settings since March.
It's from that experience seeing such inequities, I know this response to be misguided in many places.
