It was great to finally meet you in person at #HSR2024 Ṣẹ̀yẹ Abímbọ́lá , after many years of interaction here on Twitter (and going forward bluesky). Next time I hope to get your book signed. No doubt this will be an influential contribution to the global health discourse

The cost of seeking health care is one of the largest factors driving people into poverty. Health financing is not just an issue for ministries of health - but for all of government. 🇳🇴 welcomes World Health Organization (WHO) Global Health Expenditure Report - invaluable context for global work on health

I ran USAID health programs for the last 3 years. Trump’s 90 day Stop Work Order on foreign assistance does serious damage to the world and the US. Examples:🧵

Might not feel this way on twitter - but back here on earth, DOGE did not have a great day yesterday on the USAID front. Elon's attempt to speedrun the destruction of USAID is starting to hit real legal and political bumps. The pushback is starting - and must be sustained. 🧵

Must must must read. Now. What Musk and Rubio are doing “is criminal. They can’t abolish the aid program without a vote of Congress.” And they miss that USAID is critical to winning the competition with China and reflects long GOP priorities. politico.com/news/magazine/…

"If the model of innovation and aid mainly coming out of HICs and generic and API production to a large extend taking place in emerging MICs will be transformed, the global politics of access to medicines may be drastically altered" …balizationandhealth.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

WHO confirmed today that CDC has stopped sharing flu surveillance data through WHO platforms. The U.S. is facing its most intense flu season in 15 years and is grappling with bird flu. Trump’s recklessness is already risking the health of Americans and people worldwide. 1/2

Excellent study by colleagues at KEMRI-Wellcome Trust demonstrating in a trial that a low-dose yellow fever vaccine (500 IU) is as effective as the standard dose (13,803 IU) in adults in Africa. This finding is quite relevant given the limited supply of this vaccine, with fractional

With 21 countries + EU, Norway calls on Israel to immediately allow a full resumption of aid and unhindered access for humanitarian actors in #Gaza. Only a full resumption of humanitarian access can alleviate the extreme suffering of civilians in Gaza. regjeringen.no/no/aktuelt/joi…

I know nuance breaks our brains these days but we need to be serious about this "forecast." Africa will not simply roll over and die without USAID. All this shock-inducing statistical narrative does is reinforce the very American-centrism that led to this mess in the first place

Thank you for writing this very much needed thread, Daniel Krugman! The Lancet should not have published this article in this form. Or should at least have published an editorial at the same time, to reframe it in a way that takes seriously the agency of people in the global South.
