After hearing country statements at #WHA74 from both sides of the argument, one thing is clear: There’s no point in politicizing global health events when innocent children and people are dying. Under no circumstances, violating human rights and access to health is acceptable.
Global Health issues should not be used as a platform for Geopolitical debates between @WHO ´s member states and their interests. I’m not impressed by the amount of time dedicated on blaming countries of the international community that should be allies when it comes to health.
Non-State Actors play important, valuable and often unbiased roles in decision making processes and should not be left aside. The voices of youth deserves to be heard. #NSAvoicematters#notokenism
Two days of the WHA have passed and NSAs have not been able to make any contribution to the discussion. Leaving no one behind should not just be a statement to repeat, but rather an action to sustain #NSAVoiceMatters@WHO@DrTedros@IPSF@G2H2_Geneva@WMAJDN@medwma
"There must a balance between Health and the Economy, not a Competition"
- A strong reminder from @DirOPSPAHO, Hon. Dr. Carissa F. Etienne, that we must work hand in hand to overcome the challenges brought by the COVID-19 Pandemic in the Americas! #CD58@IFMSA@pahowho@DrTedros
Looking forward to representing the voices of medical students at the @pahowho 58th Directing Council, 72nd Session of @WHO Regional Committee for the Americas with this fantastic team of student leaders of the @IFMSA. #CD58#MedTwitter@CFMSFEMC@DirOPSPAHO@DrTedros
Today we will be attending #CD58 and 72nd Session of @WHO (@pahowho, @opsoms ) Regional Committee for Americas. Get to know the delegation that will be representing us!
Sometimes it is the not knowing that adds to the fear. The WHO created this handy WhatsApp page to help spread awareness and dispel myths. #CoronaVirusUpdate
