"When I think of leadership I think of Martin Luther King. I think of Gandhi. I think of people who actually change the world, not simply administrative leads. Be aware of ethical erosion. Remember authentic leadership."

Because patients need a somebody in the hospitals - on weekends, at 2am, and on Christmas night. I’m somebody.

Happy to keep my patients company this Christmas. It’s a privilege to be a doctor, today and every day. 👩🏻‍⚕️🤟

A 12-year old girl was having difficulty with her math homework during the lockdown.

So she emailed her teacher for help.

He came over, brought his whiteboard, and taught her through the window.

“Community health workers in one community were 89% female and 93% illiterate so we translated the training to include pictographs. You can get anyone to deliver if you adapt the tools appropriately.”

“Community health workers are recruited from the communities they reside. They know these areas and they will stay after a crisis.”

Great summary of key #WHA72 themes 👇🏻

One I’d add: felt like bigger+more vocal youth/early career representation this yr than past. So important to add energy⚡️,new perspectives+diversity to debates.
Well done to likes of @IFMSA for having such strong, passionate delegations 👏🏻

@daktari1 from @Amref_Worldwide says the foundation of achieving #UHC2030 is investing in primary healthcare, where community health workers are the biggest link. #HealthcareForAll can be done. We need better spending from govt and we need to move together. #WHA72
