This installation at #UNGA is a stark reminder that alarming numbers of children are in school but not learning. To safeguard every child's future, governments must act now. #LetMeLearn

It has been such an honour to moderate this event on school health and nutrition, alongside Ashley Lashley today. We have a global learning crisis. It's time to adopt an integrated, multisectoral approach and scale up effective programmes #TransformingEducation #HealthyandEducated

Health cannot be divorced fr politics. But politics alone is not in journals.... data must be foundational. Context is key... local authors not parachute papers. Cost of #publication must not be a barrier to good science. Eds don't know who pays what. Well said Esther Lau

Right data, right people at the table, communicate in the right way to build an investment case for better #newborn care Powerful message from Prof Joy Lawn #BornTooSoon 30th International Pediatric Association Congress
