Great to see the effort taken to ensure the HCBerlin continues online this year, and grateful for the opportunity to speak later this week. Opening plenary with Tammam Aloudat تمّام العودات Lina Srivastava starting soon, and still plenty of time to register: hopin.to/events/humanit… #HCBerlin

"The paternalism and lack of focus on community was doing more damage than good" Lina Srivastava reflects on her early-career NGO experience. Much of this *still* rings true. More in her piece, Decolonising Aid Will Take More Than Listening medium.com/@lksriv/decolo… #HCBerlin

"Triage ist ein Prozess der Verhandlung mit Kolleg*innen, Familienmitgliedern, der Patient*in selbst, aber auch ein Prozess des Widerstandes - als Arzt/Ärztin kann es sehr schwierig sein, nicht so viel wie möglich für eine einzelne Person zu tun." James Smith beim #HCBerlin

On of the takeaways of the pandemic for James Smith: "We really need to use this opportunity to reorientate our domestic policy making towards essential services like healthcare and education." #hcberlin

Absolute pleasure to speak with Fredrick Oluga, Rahmawati (Ama) Husein, Dr. Mercy Korir on triage and the complexities of difficult decision making in the face of scarce resources. So much more to be said on this important topic! youtube.com/watch?v=aYTuZQ… #HCBerlin
