Some years ago the British High Commission in Ghana shared this piece on Mabel Dove Danquah, a pioneering journalist, editor and political activist.

One of the first African women newspaper editors, she later became the first female MP in Africa.

Today is #WorldObesityDay

Did you know?
1 in 8 people worldwide are living with obesity — across every age, every background, every family.

Obesity drives some of today's most serious health conditions: type 2 diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease.

And it's rarely just about personal choices.
Biology, environment, access - these shape our health.

Healthier lives begin with healthier surroundings.
Let's build environments where everyone has a real chance to thrive.

On #WorldObesityDay, we recognise the vital role pharmacists, pharmacy technicians and pharmacy teams play in supporting people living with obesity. From trusted advice to ongoing care, pharmacists and pharmacy technicians help people make informed, confident health decisions.

@SkyNews @sandeeigwe Yes we need to unfortunately call out racism and systemic racism which is rife in the health sector.
