Today, almost half of Africans lack access to critical medicines. People like Dr. Codo are working to change that. #HIV #GlobalHealth

This year, tuberculosis once again became the leading infectious cause of human mortality, with 8.2m+ reported cases globally. We've got more tools to fight this disease than ever, yet progress is reversing. Why? One argument is that TB is easy to overlook (and underfund).

I hear a lot about centering Indigenous knowledge when it comes to fighting climate change, and I think that conversation should extend to health. There's so much Indigenous knowledge of medicinal plants the global health community has yet to tap into. devex.com/news/are-afric…

If you missed this, BOLO for a link to the recording soon! What a great conversation on how countries can move toward Universal Health Coverage. #UHC abtglobal.com/insights/event…

“When you get people who are wealthy and influential going into a fragile setting, it’s like the top of the food chain visiting and meeting up with those who act as the megaphone. The impact was devastating.” #VaccineEquity theguardian.com/world/2024/nov…

"The new paper finds that, if created, these organisms may pose significant dangers to human, animal, plant, and environmental health." #MirrorBacteria #GlobalHealth phys.org/news/2024-12-m…

Welcome, 2025! Hope everyone has a wonderful start to the new year.

We lost a legend in the global health world, but Jimmy's legacy lives on! "It was quiet work and drew little attention because it was focused on afflictions that plague the poorest people in the most marginalized places, but it had enormous impact." nytimes.com/2024/12/30/hea…

What a year indeed... So proud of the Abt Global team for their outstanding work across 28 nations. We've made some great breakthroughs in operationalizing #OneHealth approaches, and I can't wait to see what more we can do this year. abtglobal.com/insights/persp…

When your teams are constrained by painstaking manual data processes, there's not much time leftover for innovation. This was the case in Cambodia, where social protection staff spent hours manually entering data. See how we're helping change that here: abtglobal.com/insights/impac…

Shout out to our Healthy Mother, Healthy Baby team for providing one of many blueprints on how to improve breastfeeding rates. "We have an imperative to make optimal breastfeeding easy for mothers — and let them take it from there." #MaternalHealth nytimes.com/2025/01/08/opi…

Over 30 million children around the world face Severe Acute Malnutrition, making it the leading cause of death among children. New research into gut health and restoration could help improve the efficacy + longevity of our existing hunger interventions: thinkglobalhealth.org/article/how-in…

60 years ago, Clark Abt saw an opportunity: He wanted to apply rocket science principles to solve social challenges. His revolutionary approach became the bedrock of everything we do 60 years later. Here's to 60 more years of Abt Global! #AbtIs60 #BuiltToLast

Huge news for #HealthSecurity! Researchers now understand the structure of the Nipah Virus, a deadly zoonotic disease that kills 40-75% of those infected. This will go a long way in vaccine development. #NipahVirus genengnews.com/topics/infecti…

Trump's been purging and intimidating USAID employees. Now there’s a rumor he'll dissolve USAID as an independent agency. It was created by JFK and established in law to further our national security and spread hope. This'd be illegal and against our national interests.

To those considering consolidating or eliminating a premiere U.S. national security agency USAID, ask yourselves: — Does this make America safe? — Does this make America stronger? — Does this America more prosperous? The answer is NO.

Reminder that if you haven't already, you're allowed to take a break. Close your laptop or put down your phone. Get up. Stretch. Take a breath. Take a walk. If you want to bring your best to whatever situation you may be facing, you have to take care of yourself first.
