Very concerned about the situation in Sudan. Almost 14.7 million people are in need of aid, but 70% are in inaccessible areas with limited humanitarian reach. The once agriculturally rich country faces calamitous hunger that is dangerously approaching famine for almost 5 million

Only 30% of member state delegations at the #WHA77 were headed by women. Regional disparities also persist. Let's push for more equitable access to decision-making roles for all women. We can do better! Read via: womeningh.org/annual-count-o…

I would like to extend my congratulations to all my fellow candidates. However, it is with regret that I note the absence of female candidates in this election. This highlights the ongoing need for greater gender diversity and inclusion in our political landscape. Out of 47

I am voting to get the Tories out… For my grandma: Who died alone of Covid in hospital, separated from her family. Her last words forever lost. For my Dad: Who underwent cancer treatment in hospital alone. Putting on a brave face so his family would think he’s okay. For my

90% of healthcare providers are women. By investing in them, paying them, and creating a career ladder – you are also then working on gender equity. –Professor Senait Fisseha, Vice President of Global Programs, The Susan Thompson Buffet Foundation

Tribute to Princess Diana 💖👑 Tonight, we remember a woman whose life was as luminous as it was brief, Princess Diana. Twenty-seven years ago, the world paused in disbelief at the news of her untimely passing. Diana, at just 36, left behind not just a legacy of royalty but of

New data released today in The Lancet shows that without urgent action, antimicrobial resistance could kill 39 million people by 2050. Deaths and inequities from the global antibiotic emergency are increasing and now is the time to take urgent action. thelancet.com/journals/lance…

Prof Dr Kevin Fong giving the most devastating and moving testimony to the Covid Inquiry of visiting hospital intensive care units at the height of the second wave in late Dec 2020. The unimaginable scale of death, the trauma, the loss of hope. Please watch this 2min clip.

And here he breaks down while explaining the absolute trauma experienced by smaller hospitals in particular - the "healthier" ICU patients were transferred out, leaving them coping with so much death. They felt so alone.

Prof. Christina Pagel - @chrischirp.bsky.social (@chrischirp) 's Twitter Profile Photo

Here Prof Fong explains how every nurse he met was traumatised by watching patients die, being only able to hold up ipads to their relatives and how it went against their normal practice of trying to ensure a dignified death, with family there.

Towards the end of his testimony, Prof Fong makes the heartfelt case that to understand the Covid impact on the NHS you have to go *beyond* data - "there is more to know than you can count". His testimony was *so important* /END

Thank you to the many thousands of people across the whole of the NHS & social care who helped deliver the care during the pandemic. Has been a strange and difficult day. But felt it was important to give witness to some small part of the enormity of the challenge we all faced.

Looking forward to the World Health assembly #WHA78 starting next week. Strengthening health systems is priority. Building bridges with inter connected leaders at national, subnational and community levels is key. And a prevention focus leads to strong economic benefits. #WHO
