[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

We have lost touch with our staff in Gaza, with health facilities, health workers and the rest of our humanitarian partners on the ground.

This siege makes me gravely concerned for their safety and the immediate health risks of vulnerable patients.

We urge immediate protection of all civilians and full humanitarian access.

While education and knowledge about health, including health literacy, are essential, they may not guarantee the ability to adopt healthy behaviours.

Thank you for having me on the panel. Such a fantastic workshop that really made the case for public and private sector partnerships.

Such an inspiring panel on mental health for young mothers. IMHO there is no health without mental health. Thank you to the inspiring panelists for sharing with us. @m2mtweets @GlobalFund @FondationBotnar @SheWritesWoman #WD2023

Today is Mandela Day in South Africa but @ReachHealth we work every day towards achieving Tata Mandela’s vision for healthcare in Africa. 🇿🇦

[Reach Digital Health @ReachHealth]

Access to healthcare remains an ongoing global issue. Many individuals are denied the essential care they need to live a healthy and fulfilling life. Mandela's insight is a compass, guiding us towards a more inclusive and compassionate society. #ReachHealth #GlobalGoals

Despite severe disruption by the #COVID19 pandemic, more vaccines were administered by lower-income countries in 2021 than at any other time in history.

The Vaccine Impact Conference, co-hosted by @Gavi and @SpainMFA celebrates this resilience: https://t.co/44j77mhu3c

You've probably heard about ChatGPT by now, but have you heard about how it is failing African languages?

P.S. You’ll be pleased to know that despite the terrible handicap of my gender I was able to find and resolve the issue last night myself.

[Debbie Rogers @rogersdebs]

@VoxTalk2Us My husband received a support call about an issue we logged but was not at home so asked the operator to call me. The operator said that wasn’t a good idea because what he wanted to walk through was “very technical”

[Debbie Rogers @rogersdebs]

In your staff training perhaps you should teach some basic principles like male != technical, female != nontechnical. Case study A: I have a degree in electronic and software engineering and am the CEO of a tech company.

“DIGITAL HEALTH SAVES LIVES! Digital Health is no longer a hobby. Digital Health IS at scale” 🙌🙌🙌🙌 @alabriqu says it like it is!

[Debbie Rogers @rogersdebs]

Indeed there have been some examples where organizers have ensured more representation from the global south but these are unfortunately in the minority as far as I’ve seen. Much more work to be done!

[Ngozi @udnore]

It’s interesting being in rooms that are mostly white & elite or global north (incl. me) & talking about #equity for lmics. We talk about success from our gaze w/o nuance & layers that we may be missing.

There are good intentions. But that’s not enough for real change. #WHA76

[Debbie Rogers @rogersdebs]

Great insights shared at the @JNJGlobalHealth Strengthening Health Systems event in Geneva. Also I do love seeing an all woman panel - especially when discussing issues that health workers, who are primarily women, face. #WHA76 #HealthForAll @lastmilehealth @Amref_Worldwide

[Debbie Rogers @rogersdebs]

Thanks for a great session. Really enjoyed the discussions!

[Transform Health @Trans4m_Health]

We're excited for our #WHA76 event tomorrow on prioritising #digitalhealthinvestments to accelerate #UHC, co-organised with Digital Connected Care Coalition, @gdhub_gva, @OECD, @PATHTweets, @UHC2030, @yet4uhc & hosted at @CampusBiotech.

Looking forward to being in Geneva this week! #WHA76 #healthforall #healthmadepossible

[Alain Labrique @alabriqu]

Going into #WHA76, excited to see many countries shifting from fragmented #DigitalHealth to National Digital Transformation. @WHO is proud to help member-states work towards leveraging strategies, architecture and appropriate technologies to achieve #UHC. https://t.co/nRJL5E7b1b
