Important research from our partners at ICL: "high income countries have much to learn from lower resource settings about cost effective healthcare innovations" #frugalinnovation
Delighted to share our Analysis article in the BMJ "Delivering cost effective healthcare through reverse innovation". Learning from LMIC innovation offers such important opportunities. https://t.co/dSHxgMKasi
We are so pleased to be working with @DrillCover Arbutus Medical on their surgical Orthopaedic tools.
To find out more about how this revolutionary idea happened and how it can help healthcare in LMICs, please visit https://t.co/NuZca69rTc
Happy to share this BMJ podcast (based on our BMJ Analysis on Reverse Innovation) โReversing our preconceptions about where innovation comes fromโ on #SoundCloud#np https://t.co/8HdQWBcLqm
A4: The concept of #frugalinnovation can lead to simple products that are robust, radically affordable, and meet the unique needs of healthcare workers around the world. Great examples: @GradianHealth's UAM, @SIGNtweeter's intramedullary nails, and Arbutus Medical's @DrillCover
We will indeed - Arbutus Medical is proud to have shipped enough product to enable surgery for 45,000 patients and counting. We won't stop until every patient has access to the care they need. Thanks everyone! @Living_Goods@theG4Alliance#uhc#uhc2me
Thanks @Living_Goods for the important chat! One day every patient on earth will have access to the care they need, when the need it... And of course that means #safesurgery must be included in #uhc!
Absolutely @pgaye. @IntraHealth@NursingNow2020 @JNJGlobalHealth survey of nurses globally found striking lack of seat at that table for nurses & persistent gender-related barriers to leadership that must be addressed to have any shot at #UHC. #UHC2Me

A5: Letโs empower women (70% of the global #health workforce) to grow professionally. This midwife in #Mali applied her training to improve the quality of her care and services but also perpetuated the benefits by coaching her peers and colleagues: https://t.co/kE8i7uXjH8 #UHC2Me
A5: Communities & civil society must be engaged by country governments when developing #UHC strategies. They're vital in helping establish systems that address the specific needs of communities, and they play a critical role in holding governments accountable! #UHC2Me
@Living_Goods A4: New & improved technologies can help make health care more accessible to everyone, no matter where they live. ๐๐๐ #HealthForAll#UHC#UHC2Me ๐ https://t.co/TqIvI4483F
A2: No person, organization, sector, government or country can achieve #UHC alone. We must engage the ENTIRE health ecosystem to achieve and sustain #HealthForAll. ๐#UHC2Me
Every part of the ecosystem is required to build #UHC! That includes everything from basic infrastructure to training programs and more healthcare workers... And safe and affordable medical technology that is available and accessible to every healthcare workers and patient
At Arbutus Medical we believe every surgeon needs access to safe surgical equipment. We use #frugalinnovation to design and deliver radically affordable orthopaedic devices like the @DrillCover. We're with you all on a mission toward #safesurgeryforall. #UHC2ME
#Globalsurgery champion Dr Dominique Vervoort (@DVervoort94) explains it: no #UHC without #safesurgery. As @DrTedros said โNo country can achieve universal health coverage unless its people have access to safe, timely, & affordable surgical services.โ See you at #HLMUHC! #UNGA74
