As the COVID-19 emergency declaration ends, it's time to pivot to preparing for the next pandemic. The US needs to make major changes, and @amymaxmen discusses some of them.

[Amy Maxmen, PhD @amymaxmen]

🚨I've talked with dozens of experts & officials who worked on the pandemic response.

Here are 7 transformations that must happen if the US doesn't -- once again -- get utterly destroyed by a virus.

Not simple. This is real talk. 🧵

Every person, regardless of their background or circumstances, has the right to quality health services, and to a healthy and dignified life. Here are examples, compiled by @WHO on how to ensure #HealthForAll migrants and refugees: https://t.co/QeUNoo8khU

Colleagues at @IHME_UW have published a paper on #COVID19 forecasting and an accompanying tool that will update the analysis routinely as a source of “real-time” information for hospital system administrators and local, state, and federal health policymakers. Please share widely.

Many countries remain far from achieving #genderequality in the classroom.

@DaveEvansPhD, @maryamakmal, & @PJakiela examine how gender gaps in #education have (and haven't) changed since 1960:

Very proud to see @UW and @IHME_UW honoring the memory of @HansRosling by naming the new Population Health building after him. #globalhealth

[Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) @IHME_UW]

The University of Washington has named the new Population Health building the Hans Rosling Center for Population Health to honor Rosling's work in global health data. Read more about Hans Rosling and the Population Health Initiative: https://t.co/lHpebdraRh

How we define concepts and design surveys matters when collecting data. A very interesting discussion at @cgdev on Household Headship in development surveys. #cgdtalks

Superstolt över @Sida och mina medarbetare vars kreativitet och mod har nu erkännts av FN med ett stort klimatpris. Modellen "Beyond the Grid Fund Zambia" kommer att skalas upp nu, miljoner får ren el i Afrika. https://t.co/6uJKljj4tD

Some very effective #datastorytelling here. When looking at #CO2 emissions like this, it's quite clear where the change needs to happen. #HLF19

[Heidelberg Laureate Forum @HLForum]

Paul Edwards in best Hans Rosling @Gapminder tradition is commenting the changes in CO2 emissions #HLF19

[PATH Advocacy @PATHadvocacy]

Truly people-centered #PHC requires better data—and better use of that data—to identify people’s needs and preferences along their life course. #UNGA #HealthForAll

ATTENTION! MALARIA RATES HAVE DECLINED! Have you seen this in the media? No? Neither have we because improvements are not often reported. We hear about the bad news BUT not about the fantastic progress from recent years

Goal achieved!🎉 Every country around the 🌍 has now introduced the inactivated polio vaccine, thanks to @gavi & the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI). #EndPolio #VaccinesWork https://t.co/S0rzQkeHX4

"The real challenge will be moving away from all the buzzwords and rhetoric towards an actionable plan that will accelerate countries’ progress towards UHC" @CassNemzoff and @glassmanamanda outline steps towards achieving #universalhealthcare https://t.co/YEGTOkIpk9

“A persistent challenge remains as funds are stagnating; more resources are needed. This is particularly evident in the poorest countries, especially as they seek to control, or even eliminate, the disease.” said Dr. Joseph Dieleman https://t.co/CfNdfVOHLB

[Johan Månsson @jcfmansson]

Pilots underway for the first #MalariaVaccine in #Ghana, #Kenya and #Malawi by @gavi and partners. Early results show success in 40% of cases and reduced severe malaria anemia, the most common reason children die from the disease, by 60%.

[Seth Berkley @DrSethBerkley]

This #WorldMalariaDay, for the first time, @Gavi can say that we are directly supporting the fight against this deadly disease. Earlier this week, Gavi & partners launched the pilot introduction of the world’s first malaria vaccine. https://t.co/negvVVyx8v

Regional #AfricanEconomicOutlook reports from @AfDB_Group show promising growth and the opportunity represented by #AfCFTA. At the same time, the familiar threats of rapid population growth, #climatechange, debt and political instability remain central challenges.

[African Development Bank Group @AfDB_Group]

Job creation and ramping up manufacturing are major priority areas for creating growth in #Africa. Check out more highlights from the #2019AEO Regional Economic Outlook Reports 👉🏿https://t.co/JDcVChxMyR

"at least half of the improvement in child mortality over the last century is not from countries getting richer, but from improved and more widely available technology." Interesting exploration of the impact of technology on #childmortality by @owenbarder at @CGDev

[Center for Global Development @CGDev]

The ultimate aim of development is to improve people’s lives, but is access to technology more fundamental than income? @owenbarder et al. explores: https://t.co/4OfU892APg

[Wellbeing Foundation Africa @wellbeingafrica]

#WASHWednesday - Access to clean water & sanitation is one of the most effective ways we can prevent disease, yet 1 in 6 health facilities lack basic water services & 1 in 5 do not have a toilet. Without universal #WASH, we cannot have #UHC. @ToyinSaraki @WorldBankWater

[Johan Månsson @jcfmansson]

"Even when services are available, using them can spell financial ruin.Every year, almost 100 million people are pushed into extreme poverty by the costs of paying for care out of their own pockets"

Important points about funding #healthcare by @MinisterPeterE and @DrTedros

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

My opinion piece in @devex with @MinisterPeterE: @WHO is undertaking significant reforms, but we need our partners to play their part by supporting us with more flexible & predictable funding that allows us to match resources with priorities. #WHOImpact https://t.co/PPdLso4myZ
