Poignant words by #WHO Chief Scientist @doctorsoumya about the COVID-19 response “strengthening PHC systems is critical to reducing mortality” #PHC4UHC #AHAIC2021

[Elizabeth Lopez @lizlopez87]

There is a larger need for understanding that #PHC systems are integral to continuing provision of services during a pandemic. We need to continue strengthening and investing in #PHC systems. #AHAIC2021

[Elizabeth Lopez @lizlopez87]

The conversation is starting on pandemic proofing PHC #AHAIC2021 join now #PHC4UHC

Thanks for the suggestion to have a #FormalFriday @JimmyKimmelLive we went all out

Federal State of Micronesia (FSM) just passed #UHC resolution citing #UHCHLM, @IPUparliament Res, &"BE IT RESOLVED that it is the goal of the Congress of FSM for the FSM to achieve UHC by 2030". Congrats #Micronesia and IPU! @MartinChungong @CSOs4UHC @UHC2030 #HealthForAll 🇫🇲💮🎇

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

At today's #2019nCoV media briefing @DrMikeRyan was asked about reports that Dr Li Wenliang had passed away, and he expressed condolences.

WHO has no information on the status of Dr Li.

.@WHO #EB146 Decision on the global strategy and plan of action on public health, innovation and IP adopted by the Executive Board on 6 February 2020. Great work by @BrazilUNGeneva @ItamaratyGovBr in shepherding this through. Co-sponsored by the 27 Members of the European Union.

Historic day @HouseForeign hearing on #GlobalWomensHealth to hear @cehurduganda @mulumbacehurd testify on negative impact of #GlobalGagRule #SRHR #EndGlobalGag @pai_org @Guttmacher @ppglobe @RepEliotEngel

Its the best time to visit with little to no tourists

Another quirky intervention by the Thai delegate, calling out countries with travel restrictions from China whose delegates still shake hands with the DG who just returned from China...offered 1/2 his pension for MS emergency meeting in China and visit the Great Wall #EB146

[Brian Li Han Wong @brianwong_]

“Our goal in #Zambia is to achieve #UHC by using #PHC across the continuum of care as the anchor.”

Wrapping up the convo on #UHC, @DrTedros notes:

"The opportunity for realizing #HealthForAll is NOW.

We have the Astana & UHC Declarations, Global Action Plan, etc. The political work is there, now we need action at the country-level, where accountability is key."

[Kirsten Mathieson @Kirstmath]

.@savechildrenuk @save_children at #EB146 calls on member states to increase domestic public health expenditure towards a target of 5% of GDP, prioritising spending on #PrimaryHealthCare with a clear focus on #equity to deliver #UHC #HealthForAll #UHC2030

[Elizabeth Lopez @lizlopez87]

“We’re concerned about the lack of robust mechanisms in place to hold Member States to account on their commitments We urge @WHO to work with countries to establish strong national & global #accountability mechanisms to monitor progress on #UHC.....” @leniocaps @SavetheChildren

[Elizabeth Lopez @lizlopez87]

#HealthForAll means HEALTH FOR ALL its disappointing to hear member states at #EB146 using exclusionary language in their statements @WHO #UHC

[People's Health Movement | @who-watch.bsky.social @PHMglobal]

Disappointing that Hungary used it's intervention on #UHC to reaffirm it's position against providing healthcare to migrants and refugees #EB146

[People's Health Movement | @who-watch.bsky.social @PHMglobal]

Intervention by the EB Chair re the list of NSA's who want to speak on #UHC: "NSA you have a ticket of 3. So please think carefully. " Unclear as yet how this will be enforced but it is further evidence of the #shrinkingspace for civil society in global health #EB146

[Women In Global Health @womeninGH]

If we flip the script — it is obvious, we have no choice but to do better.

Women make up 70% of the health workforce , but represent less than 25% leadership roles.

At #EB146 progress - will member states deliver on the Call to Action and making last change ?

[Women In Global Health @womeninGH]

Its 2020 - but the #CalltoAction of 2017 applies as much at #EB146

[Elizabeth Lopez @lizlopez87]

As EB country members give their statements it is clear that we can’t talk about achieving #UHC without strengthening #PHC #HealthForAll #PHC4UHC @CSOs4UHC #EB146 @WHO
