Happy Diwali 🪔 to all celebrating. Women in Global Health India

Please, let’s all lift up + ATTEND the Conference on Public Health in Africa, hosted by Africa CDC & Ministry of Health | Rwanda. Yes we must boycott scientific gatherings rife w/ visa denials, #racism , & no online access AND we must create a new normal of convening in the #GlobalSouth .

Its a wrap. Home.

Leaders rarely share from the ❤️. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus spoke with me about heart wrenching atrocities in Ethiopia, the loss of life under extreme duress happening now.

He joined us Women In Global Health all evening. Listening to the #HeroinesofHealth stories, finding some console.

Stop 🛑 all wars!

Honored to take part of the closing panel of #WHS2022 . #HealthForAll is a political choice and a moral responsibility. Global Health Governance has to be connected to the reform of the multilateral system. UHC2030 Ilona Kickbusch Women In Global Health Women Leaders for Planetary Health WWF

Relatable confrontation reflections ⬇️

What about the type that is eager to connect to as many people ;) and talk about their issue? That has often been me. Learning to listen first and talk second has been my goal.

For the 2023 UN HLM, #UHC must reclaim its moment and be seen as central to health system resilience and response. A strong workforce is an essential component as is a focus on equity. Ideally, stakeholders focus on outcomes and lives saved as a key metric of success. #WHS2022
