@Andrew65469561 @GlobalHofstra The burden of NCD is often overlooked but this article clearly shows that innovative strategies need to be used to combat these diseases as they are on the rise even in LMIC.

@drbrandonalba @GlobalHofstra @TelegraphNews Emergency preparedness is vital and proper funding is necessary to properly prepare and be ready for disease outbreaks. Epidemics could cost a lot more and thus it is a smart investment.

@utsavi_kapadia @GlobalHofstra This article highlights the key part politics plays in such an important and necessary decision towards reducing health disparities and increased access to healthcare. Universal healthcare is a worthwhile goal.

@amjdaniel01 @GlobalHofstra There is no question that Africa is in need of a more effective healthcare system to combat the high disease burden in the country. Financing to strengthen the healthcare system is imperative. Great read!

@ThakkerKrima @GlobalHofstra Collaboration and cooperation between countries is vital in the fight against HIV/AIDS and the delivery of care for those affected by HIV/AIDS, Additionally, resources need to be carefully and properly allocated.

@NegFranchise @GlobalHofstra It is most definitely crucial to weigh the pros and cons of this partnership. Though controversial, the partnership could potentially help the problem in Africa. Does the economic benefit outweigh the ethical concern?

@iamsupertraceyy @GlobalHofstra Interesting read that highlights how crucial it is to focus on mental health alongside physical health. NCDs are on the rise and public health professionals must work to increase access to care, specifically mental health care!

@Mak_Verde @GlobalHofstra With Africa receiving only 5% of global funding for cancer prevention and control, the disease is taking its toll on the population. The global community must help Africa halt the cancer crisis as it has united to beat infectious disease outbreaks in the past.

@aubreyrogers6 @GlobalHofstra It's upsetting to read that access to healthcare for civilians, which should be guaranteed, is often overlooked because of economic and political factors.

@Med_Student_ @GlobalHofstra @Gizmodo This article presents quite a controversial view on experimentation. Self-experimentation raises ethical questions, from the potential for infections and reactions to a complete lack of understanding of risks.

"Any effort to restrict antibiotic consumption, regulate the food and pharmaceutical industries, or change human behaviors.. will require complex ethical reflection and analysis." @GlobalHofstra

@milaj_c @GlobalHofstra Using mobile clinics to reach those that usually would not have access to healthcare services is a positive improvement in high-need communities such as those in Malawi.

@lianamaria5 @GlobalHofstra The loss of lives is absolutely a tragedy we should not simply accept. Vaccinations for preventable diseases are crucial as unvaccinated individuals pose a risk to the entire community.

@BintaMPH @GlobalHofstra @allafrica Low-cost approaches are crucial in making significant contributions to combating malnutrition and saving the lives of children! Education is key.

[Regina @gigi_mathai]

@teea4rl @GAINalliance @GlobalHofstra It is imperative to cater health efforts to the population being served. Using technology to increase knowledge is a smart way to educate large groups of people on nutrition and better food preparation methods.

@sammmmf9794 @GlobalHofstra Interesting read highlighting the need to adapt health efforts as economies improve and Westernization strikes different areas in Africa. As the transition from malnutrition to obesity progresses, education and health care access needs to be increased and improved!

@IAmMyOwnCompass @reliefweb @GlobalHofstra The need for improving the quality of healthcare provision is crucial. Technology and social support programs can be used to positively impact community health in these high-risk populations.
