7,000 newborns die every day, most from preventable causes. I just signed @UNICEF’s petition to call on health ministers and world leaders to stop this. Sign now https://t.co/djKD87Z45S
The U.S. has officially left WHO.
Largest funder.
15–18% of the budget. Gone.
This isn’t American news.
This is African health news.
If you think the U.S. leaving WHO doesn’t concern you, think again.
That means less money, less support, more pressure especially for countries like Nigeria that depend on them for funding.
This isn’t just politics this is global health shaking.
And yes, Nigeria and Africa will feel it. Selah.
In 2024, we're still defending why women deserve seats at the table 🤦🏾♂️ Less than 5% of Nigeria's Senate and House of Representatives are women but they make up half of the population. This isn't progress!
Countries with more women in government have better healthcare, education, and family welfare policies. The Special Seats Bill isn't charity - it's a necessity for our nation's progress.
It's time to change the narrative! #PassTheSpecialSeatsBill
PSA for Nigerians in diaspora: If one of your parents has the "S" gene and you've always tested "AA" in Nigeria, get a confirmation test with your healthcare provider. I've seen multiple cases of genotype misdiagnosis among Nigerians in UK, especially married couples. #sickleCell
Dear Christian,
Today I’ve just come to bring encouragement to those who are burnt out; that challenge will not last forever. THERE IS A WAY OUT, GOD IS COMING!
There is a reason he’s taking long.

China just cured Type 1 diabetes with stem cells!
Within 75 days, the patient had normal glucose level; and has maintained that for a year now.
Groundbreaking medical accomplishment! And the surgery takes only half an hour!
Are you guys seeing the news out of India??? Dr Moumita Debnath was raped and killed at work. AT WORK!
And in just 48hrs, I’ve read some more chilling stories of violence against women and girls from there too. When and where will women and girls be free from male violence? 💔
Always thought boys/men cannot be sexually abused!
Shocker of my life, sexual abuse of the boy child is real, but society tells them to suck it up!!! #standtoEndRape
Only 30% of national delegations to #WHA77 led by women.
Far from gender-transformative in a space where the majority of the health workforce are women!
Let’s keep pushing for true gender equality in health leadership.

The global campaign to roll back women’s rights is threatening the lives and health of millions of women who need #SRHR. We must protect women’s rights to those essential services #MyHealthMyRight
Clinical trials have been grappling with recruiting diverse populations for years. In the United States, many independent local pharmacies are recruiting community health workers to join their teams and address underrepresentation. https://t.co/PL2ijEXqY4
