Many thanks @DrTedros for the warm welcome to our @WHO Fair Pricing Forum participants, and thank you to all of you actively participating in the discussions this week to help us achieve greater #AccessToMedicines and #HealthForAll!
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus@DrTedros

The costs of medicine are still a major barrier for many people. Delivering #HealthForAll includes fair pricing for medicines: fair for those who use them, those who make them, and those who pay for them. This is what the @WHO Fair Pricing Forum is about: whofairpricingforum.com

👏@rebeccaivers sets a challenge: We talk about health in silos, but health doesn’t exist in isolation. We can’t just talk about #NCDs treatment, that’s ‘after the horse has bolted’. We must talk more about the bigger picture & #prevention of illness & injury! #WHSMelbourne2024

A common theme emerging at #WHSMelbourne2024, including in discussions about trans-continental collaboration: #TRUST as a determinant of health - @NordstrmAnders agrees trust is being undermined and compromised, but urges the many in the room: don’t give up hope!

Crises can be catalysts for change but we have to step outside of our business as usual mindset. We must do things differently because the importance of thriving communities has never been more important, says Prof Helen Evans of @NossalInstitute. #WHSMelbourne2024

Day 1: #WHSMelbourne2024 Literally, there was no session that didn't talk about co-design. Eagerly waiting to see how co-design-led research is shaping the GLOBAL HEALTH arena. Hopefully, the end users are at the table, not on the menu, in this movement."

A key theme of today’s session on rethinking drug policy was improving the implementation of harm reduction measures. While we need to keep pushing for change, we also need to think about what happens after. #WHSMelbourne2024

NCD’s the largest contributor to death and disability for women globally - particularly cardiovascular disease. There is an urgent need for introduction of everyday physical activity for preventive action. #WHSmelbourne2024 @whsmelbourne24 @WorldHealthSmt

There are divisions over some rights to health around the world, making it difficult to negotiate over these, but “In terms of health as a human right, there must not be a compromise” - 👏 @IlonaKickbusch #WHSMelbourne2024

I appreciated this framing - Australia has a unique role to play at the intersection of Global North, Global South, ‘Eastern’ and ‘Western’ countries. Flanked by the world’s biggest ocean. #WHSMelbourne2024

.@IlonaKickbusch talks trust… Trust government. Trust in institutions. Trust in each other - in people. The lack of it & how this affects our ability to achieve positive health outcomes. #WHSMelbourne2024
