Where does #health stand in #COP27's outcomes? @TheLancet's @nayanah get the experts' take. If one thing is clear, we need health action 💉💊🩺 to protect those affected by climate change as much as we need climate action 🔋🌿🪸 to protect our health.

This month, we had the pleasure to profile Grace Irimu @ProfIrimu, who has been working tirelessly for decades to reduce Kenya's #Under5Mortality rate

Dramatic progress has been made, but Irimu still thinks there is a lot to do. Read more here: https://t.co/CU4DadY0CX #SDGs

[Prof. Grace Irimu @ProfIrimu]

ETAT+: I wish to thank all those who sent me congratulatory msgs of recognition of our efforts to reduce under 5’s mortality. In deed, credit also goes to Kenya ETAT+ trainers, all front line HCWs attending the sick child, MoH & Kenya Paediatric Association, KEMRI WTRP & UoN.

#Children are often surrounded by people, and so the concept of children feeling #lonely is not something we might think about. But in the UK, 11% of children aged 10–15 and 14% of those aged 10–12 said they were often lonely
