Estos cursos son de altísima calidad para aprender o para refrescar el conocimiento de muchos temas en la salud.

Si bien las acciones para mejorar la #Igualdad de género en la salud y la atención médica van en aumento, sigue estando descuidada en la economía de la #Salud.

As a partner who provided skin to skin to my newborn twins I enjoyed the pleasure of being able to contribute substantially to their health and well-being.

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

Partners and family members have an important role to play in caring for their small or preterm baby.

They can also provide kangaroo mother care when the mother needs rest and recovery https://t.co/ezrLzSPuIA

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

Kangaroo mother care meets a small or preterm baby’s needs for warmth, comfort and nutrition.
It incl.:
💕 Ongoing skin-to-skin contact with a caregiver, usually the mother
💕 Exclusive breastfeeding, or provision of breast-milk

Right on spot. What is stopping us?

[richard horton @richardhorton1]

And here is the prize. We can save millions of lives lost to stillbirths and in the newborn period with simple and cheap interventions. What is stopping us?

[Andres de Francisco @deFranciscoAnd]

So many deaths still occurring?Protecting gains made? Knowledge is there. Implementation capacity and assessment missing, and so is political priority. Scant use of local community knowledge hampers progress. Cannot continue as usual.

[Prof Joy Lawn @joylawn]

Keynote by @richardhorton1 @MARCH_LSHTM retreat raises questions for all of us
Still 9 million deaths of newborns, children, stillbirths + women.
Yes need to generate evidence but beyond admiring problem. Learning from #emancipation Epidemiology in LAC

[Andres de Francisco @deFranciscoAnd]

@JeremyFarrar @Cambridge_Uni Fully in agreement. Is the result of a hard pursued team synchrony - just like in music the chorus at Kings Colleague or Trinity.

Excellent report of @FondationBotnar work in 2022. It’s work rapidly grew into a worldwide network encompassing youth and partners all over the world. It shows that the demand is there as is the capacity to respond. Keep up the wonderful work! @SusannaHausman3 @GermannStefan

Excelent contribution to #malaria control, Pedro. Enjoyed our time working on malaria in the field before @WHO. I trust you will continue active in the field - I know it is a passion !
