Thread ...

[Avni Amin @AvniNAmin]

Why is the question “what about the men” only asked in sessions on gender equality & why only to women panellists? Why don’t the men who ask this question take responsibility to raise it with other men in all male panels or male dominated discussions on NCD or health financing?

[International Center for Research on Women @ICRW]

How can we save money and be more efficient in financing universal health coverage? It requires a move towards 'whole of government' budgeting - see the analysis of our @UNDP @hivdrivers experiences https://t.co/pA8Tv76Hdo #WHA72 #UHC

"Pooled financing" - similar to STRIVE's "co-financing" - see our latest report with @UNDP - lessons from a #co-financing pilot in 7 countries https://t.co/il9wy8Bxr8
