1/🔥 #Wildfires in North America, have been increasing in frequency and severity. This is largely due to climate change. But what does this mean for our health? Let's dive in. #ClimateChange #PublicHealth
The map currently looks like this!

#RKC2023 @AKapilashrami:
We need more than gender-disaggregated data but a relational and contextual understanding of #gender in #migration. This is crucial to addressing health inequities.

#RKC2023 Great discussion on #intersectionality by @AKapilashrami with very clear and concrete steps in how to do it with great references shared giving the example #COVID19.

Opening of the @PHAC_GC consultation on the @WHO #Pandemictreaty.
Canada taking a exemplary approach at engaging a diversity of stakeholders to input in the country's position in the negociations: hopefully other states take a similar approach.

At the #JASP2022, multiple speakers discuss how the existence of an independent scientific committee on immunization providing evidence-based advice allowed the province of #quebec to lead in taking bold decisions such as longer between dose interval for #COVID.

Very glad to see @DrMariaNeira @who alongside @Santepub_Mtl at the special opening session of the #JASP2022. Both very inspiring #publichealth leaders that I've had the chance to work with at different points in my career.

There is an important danger in creating a "separate" space for civil society engagement with @WHO: this can lead to less meaningful engagement and restricted space in the formal fora. #committeeC
We already see a divide!

@shoffmania @MathieuJPP @SuzyRVK @lathika_srithar @ggigigii @sophiercampbell @GuyattGH @RoojinHabibi @lavisjn @ranjananagi @jarottingen In short: treaties ain't great mechanisms; and if they work, it's mostly because they are trade-related or otherwise have strong related enforcement mechanisms (also smaller treaties work better than bigger ones).

Very interesting piece by @shoffmania and colleagues: https://t.co/BngX5Ao6OW
Incredibly interesting methods of assessing the impact of international treaties which can have important impacts on #globalhealth.

#WHA75 @DrMikeRyan: Ring vaccination in our modern context is no longer a geographic ring, but a social-network ring.
For some diseases vaccinating contacts of contacts is very effective.
We need to see what is the most effective strategy for #monkeypox

[Yassen Tcholakov @yassentch]

.@WHO identifies key priorities to address #monkeypox and presents them at #WHA75
1. Containment
2. Communication
3. Risk based strategies
4. Global collaboration
5. One Health approach

[Yassen Tcholakov @yassentch]

Glad to hear discussions on the ways that the world tried to address #equity for access to #COVID19 vaccines during #ECCMID2022: @ACTAccelerator, #COVAX, @who, @gavi.
Yet, we have overall failed to meet our objectives, we must do better next time.
#INB #TRIPSwaiver #strongerWHO

[Yassen Tcholakov @yassentch]

#Canada talks about #equity in addressing the #COVID19 pandemic at @WHO #EB150: this should translates in urgent actions for #VaccineEquity at @WHO, @WTO, as well as at home: #COVAX #TRIPSwaiver, Canadian Access to Medicine Regime
@PHAC_GC @CanadaGeneva @McGill_SPGH @CMA_Docs

[Yassen Tcholakov @yassentch]

We have failed to repect our committment to #globalhealth #equity.
There is one way out of the pandemic, and it is when the virus is controlled everywhere.
Rich countries hoarding scarce ressources does not work: not when the problem is everywhere, not when it means new variants.

[Yassen Tcholakov @yassentch]

.@WHO and many youth organisation have worked very hard to establish what will hopefully be a structure for meaningful engagement of youth in #globalhealth work of the organisation!
Please do share widely within your networks!

Finally go to reading the great "Guide to a Pandemic Treaty" by @GHC_IHEID, @haiknikogosian and @IlonaKickbusch.
Serves as a nice one-click FAQ on the topic.
Recommended read to anyone in #globalhealth!

Nevertheless, a few questions remain:

[Yassen Tcholakov @yassentch]

Great talk: How do we quickly address #equity issue of the #COVID19 response? How do we build a better response system and avert the impacts of the next pandemic disease?

Timely discussion while following #WHA74 and negotiations on a #pandemictreaty and #vaccineequity.
