Sharing my appreciation with #CMMBKenya and the Siaya County government for taking an important step against gender-based violence. This CMMB-commissioned Child Protection Unit and Gender Desk will provide refuge and safety for the community.

On #WorldHumanitarianDay, I find myself thinking of my colleagues in Haiti. Despite crisis after crisis, they remain committed to the promise of health #NoMatterWhat. Thank you #CMMBHaiti for the courage and innovation you lead with.

Today is Labor Day in the USA - a day to appreciate work and all workers. Today, I am especially grateful for the labor of health workers - the human faces that help to deliver on our mission at CMMB with compassion, grace and lifesaving impact! #Thankahealthworker

How do we work together for the future of the health workforce? This paper by CatholicHealthAssoc considers the implications of international workforce recruitment, starting with the understanding that every action we take has a global implication. chausa.org/global-health/…

A thought-provoking panel discussion Sunday evening! It brought home how it will take ALL OF US - public and private sector to integrate #NCD diagnosis and treatment into primary #health care! Many thanks to hosts Roche BCIU and the G20 Health & Development Partnership !

At #UNGA, an annual gathering of Faith Leaders hosted by UNAIDS Global and PEPFAR to celebrate progress on HIV/AIDS. Data shows the program's impact, but the story of Juliana brought it beyond statistics! CMMB was alongside many other FBO groups since the program's beginning.

Safe water is vital to health and women’s well being and safety as young girls waiting at wells can be at risk! So happy to see this project completed by #CMMBKenya

Amazing event at #Forbes with the #50over50 gathering and the #KnowYourValue team led by Mika Brzezinski. Most amazing was the chat with artist Patti LaBelle, who started a food production company in her 70’s!!! Thanks for the opportunity to join and learn from this community!

Pray for peace. As my team prepares to ship lifesaving medicines and supplies—including IncuPouches that can help premature babies facing hypothermia—to partners in Gaza, we are left advocating for more NGO access. But these newborns cannot wait. reut.rs/3spwPhg Reuters

Great piece on investing in #healthworkers. If you have had a family member in a hospital recently, you might have seen the shortage of HWs and how it is influencing the quality of care. The time to act is now - invest in HW training everywhere! amp-cnn-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/amp.cnn.co…

Fascinating effort to address the health workforce shortage in the US Northwell Health. Could this be replicated by others? #globalhealthsecurity beckershospitalreview.com/workforce/mich…

Given the shortage of health workers globally, this approach to training more in the US, sponsored by Bloomberg Philanthropies, should help us consider what more can be done to bridge the gaps here and around the world! #Oneglobalhealthworkforce nytimes.com/2024/01/17/us/…

This info from World Health Organization (WHO) about breast cancer is critical as we look to identify/treat cancer in women earlier globally. The new Women's Cancer Clinic in Kitui County, Kenya, supported by Bristol Myers Squibb and developed with CMMB Kenya can handle biopsies and treatment. npr.org/sections/goats…
