When I started working on projects to support young people who inject drugs in India, I had so many questions about why we’ve made it hard to get on treatment when there’s decent evidence that what we know works.

Grateful I can now bug you all w the same Qs, thx to @indevmag!

[Akib Khan @akib_kn]

Of the many crises that we hv*, we wrap up the first @indevmag issue with @akshaygn01 writing on opioid addiction in India.

The medical sol'n, as for many of these issues, is well known. Read to see what the adoption bottlenecks are.

India has more people who misuse opioids than any other country in the world. Less than 2% of them receive evidence-based treatment.

@akshaygn01 explains how this happened - and how to fix it: https://t.co/Bat9XaLcqk

Is it nuts to give cash to the poor without strings attached?

That’s not a rhetorical question; it’s the headline the New York Times ran the first time they covered GiveDirectly.

Last month on VoxDev, we reposted @indevmag's first piece by @PaulFNiehaus: https://t.co/GiFla1TfQO

The US approved tenofovir for HIV treatment in 2001. It took another decade to be used in most of sub-Saharan Africa.

The African Medicines Agency is attempting to reduce delays like this. @EnlliMcA explains both the promises and pitfalls in @indevmag: https://t.co/eX0XJ76Th3

I think the current anti-migrant sentiment is a temporary one* and the long arc of history always bends toward more exchange of people.
Today's @indevmag piece reminds us why we need such exchange and ways to facilitate it.

This week in @indevmag: in 2014, Jakarta was crowned the world's most congested city. In the last decade, it has also added *ten million* new residents - a perfect recipe for yet more gridlock.

And yet the traffic has improved. Nithin Coca explains how: https://t.co/k49g0OsuII

Japanese investment into commuter rail and subways is underrated

Japan also funded the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation and provided substantial technical expertise

tomorrow morning.

[Akib Khan @akib_kn]

Back in 2015-16*, in Dhaka, I used to take a 2-hr walk back from the office in the evening because it would have taken longer by any motorized transport.

So this is close to my heart; dropping tomorrow @indevmag.

*I hear it has probably gotten worse.
