"Canada is one of the world’s largest funders of #GlobalHealth initiatives.

This funding could achieve even more if more of it was spent on proven, mature health innovations that scale quickly."

Day 2 with an early one! Donor funding has skewed laboratory systems in Africa to single disease rather than systems. No wonder it’s not sustainable! @gchallenges @SciforAfrica @WOAH_Global are taking a #GrandChallenges approach to addressing the sustainability challenge.

@StevenBuchsbaum @PeterASinger Don’t worry @PeterASinger it’s not just you. I love humanity but humans are hard sometimes so JOMO is one of my favourite practices (she says replying to a tweet a month late!)

[Karlee Silver @karleesilver]

Best single talk of #GC2021 for me was @AjoketerMeulen making the case for including pregnant women in clinical trials and vaccination campaigns. Spent my whole postdoc annoyed that this was seen as too risky to do while ignoring the risk of not doing it. About time!
