Listen, I'm full of sadness and fury right now. That's what you're seeing here.
But I'm also determined. And pragmatic. If there is a single of my GOP colleagues who is moved to action by what happened today, I am ready to work with you. I am ready to compromise. To save lives.
Global health experts often ask: with limited resources, how do we do the most good?
Paul Farmer hated that framing
Instead, he asked
Given the good we can do for our fellow humans, how do we get the resources we need?
Remembering Paul. In @TheAtlantic

@rajpanjabi Thinking of you @rajpanjabi. He was passing a torch to you even back in '06, when you were a big reason he spoke to our graduating @JohnsHopkinsSPH class. We all carry his health justice mission and example, he wired it into so many of us long ago
As U.S. global health & dev't policy windows open up, it's important to consider not just what % of funding goes to local partners- but what local partners actually need to THRIVE & contribute at their greatest potential.
My thoughts @ThinkGlobalHlth:

As we mobilize all available assets to prevent & respond to the horrors of #COVID19 rocking our human race, let's keep community & local voices loud and amplified #CHWs#CovidVaccine

I started my career in public health working w/ a 6 y/o boy named Jorge in rural Guatemala, who needed heart surgery and didn't have access. I know 1st hand what this partnership will mean for >10K families @MDTFoundation@CHeartLink#MDTproud#HealthForAll#WorldHealthDay
We & @CHeartLink are creating a 3 year partnership focused on #healthequity for +10K underserved children.
Together we aim to address inequities in congenital heart disease treatment & reduce disparities in access to care.

@globalgamechngr@GlobalHealthOrg You are and inspiration and model for us all, my friend. Thank you for your service. Thank you for expanding our vision.
Congratulations @rajpanjabi and to the world - we have a talented, humble, people-centered, community-centered leader with years of specialized expertise at the helm of the US response to malaria globally. Hoorrraayyy!!!
After being sworn in this morning, I'm honored to share that I've been appointed by @POTUS as the President’s Malaria Coordinator to lead the U.S. President’s Malaria Initiative (@PMIgov). I'm grateful for this chance to serve. My reflections on my first day in office:👇
While today’s terrible display of terror and meanness shakes us, let’s remember: @ossoff, Jewish son of an immigrant & @ReverendWarnock, first Black Senator from Georgia, will join a Catholic POTUS & the first woman, Black + Indian VP in our nation’s capital. God bless America.
