@KhadijaJones1 @GlobalHofstra I liked that this article mentioned utilizing women to combat the healthcare workforce shortage. In many parts of the world women are under-utilized, however they play an integral role in healthcare delivery systems!

@ArpitaHaz @GlobalHofstra This article really underscores some of the challenges associated with providing universal health coverage. Community health workers have the potential to play a huge role in achieving UHC, however there is clearly a lot of training and supervision required for these roles.

@Andrew65469561 @GlobalHofstra The solutions put forward in this article are worthwhile for the UN to consider in order to combat NCDs. Rates of NCDs are continuing to rise across the world and more funding needs to be used to target this.

[Samantha Friedman @sammmmf9794]

@drbrandonalba @GlobalHofstra @TelegraphNews The fact that the global financial response to pandemics has been referred to as "a cycle of panic and neglect" demonstrates that more needs to be done to combat this. It is encouraging to see more funds being put towards pandemic preparedness.

@utsavi_kapadia @GlobalHofstra It is terrible that at least of the world's population does not have coverage for full essential health services. It is promising to see that UN Member States will try to achieve universal health coverage by 2030. This is a worthwhile goal to work towards.

[Samantha Friedman @sammmmf9794]

@amjdaniel01 @GlobalHofstra Strengthening health systems in order to provide universal health care is a necessary step to improve people's health and quality of life around the world. It is promising to see the African Development Bank working towards this goal.

@d00alana @GlobalHofstra This is an inspiring article that demonstrates how interconnected the environment and our health are. Hopefully other countries around the world will follow in China's footsteps and implement policies to reduce pollution.

@mphbear @GlobalHofstra I had no idea that rice paddies were a source of methane and I always considered rice to be a healthy staple of many diets around the world. It is important to take note of which foods result in lower GHG emissions and are healthy so that we can shift towards these in the future.

@GlobalHofstra The United States cutting foreign aid to countries who vote differently than us is bullying and threatens to alienate us from the rest of the world #makeglobalhealthgreatagain

@NegFranchise @GlobalHofstra This is a really interesting article that highlights the intersection of ethics and global collaborations. It seems as though companies such as Heineken are trying to be a part of a good cause, however their products may be contradictory to what they are trying to help with.

[Samantha Friedman @sammmmf9794]

@ThakkerKrima @GlobalHofstra This demonstrates the importance of collaboration between different countries when creating solutions to efficiently solve health issues that affect people globally.

[Samantha Friedman @sammmmf9794]

@iamsupertraceyy @GlobalHofstra This study demonstrates the importance of incorporating more mental health care into routine doctor visits. Lack of access to mental health care is a significant public health problem and as rates of NCDs continue to rise it will be more crucial than ever before to address this.

[Samantha Friedman @sammmmf9794]

@Mak_Verde @GlobalHofstra The global shift towards morbidity and mortality associated with NCDs is a challenge for many healthcare systems around the world. The ACS training African health-care professionals how to detect and treat cancer is a great initiative to reduce NCD mortality in other countries.

[Samantha Friedman @sammmmf9794]

@gigi_mathai @GlobalHofstra AMR is a relevant issue that receives a lot of attention, however it was interesting to read about the ethical implications associated with this that I hadn't previously considered such as AMR being a collective action problem and how to define and deal with this problem.

[Samantha Friedman @sammmmf9794]

@aubreyrogers6 @GlobalHofstra I didn't realize that many humanitarian groups have such strong policies regarding neutrality and impartiality in times of war. This really raises a controversial issue of how to best proceed when these policies can prevent civilians from receiving life-saving health care.

[Samantha Friedman @sammmmf9794]

@Med_Student_ @GlobalHofstra @Gizmodo This article demonstrates the importance of all of the regulations that have been put into place surrounding research on human subjects. Taking advantage of vulnerable people desperate to cure their diseases is not an ethical way to test new drugs that have not been proven safe.

[Samantha Friedman @sammmmf9794]

@milaj_c @GlobalHofstra This article demonstrates a really great intervention to hopefully increase access to HIV testing and antiretrovirals in a hard to reach population. This is an important task because detecting HIV early and providing antiretrovirals can reduce deaths from this virus.
