This week, the first COVAX #COVID19 vaccine shipment to Africa arrived in #Ghana. This is a much-awaited leap forward for African countries that have spent months preparing from the side-lines while wealthy countries race ahead with vaccination. #VaccinEquity

Cote d’Ivoire🇨🇮 is the second country in #Africa to receive #COVID19 vaccines from the COVAX facility!👏🏿 504,000 doses of Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine just arrived in Abidjan. Another step towards #VaccinEquity & a symbol of global cooperation & solidarity.

Today, #Ghana🇬🇭 became the first country to receive #COVID19 vaccine doses shipped via the COVAX Facility. This is a 𝙝𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙘 𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙥 towards our goal to ensure equitable distribution of COVID-19 vaccines globally. #VaccinEquity ➡️ bit.ly/3khXvru

Africa is the birthplace of humanity, but it will also play a vital part in the future of humanity. It is home to some of the richest resources on earth – our young brothers & sisters. They are the future of our great continent. And they must be the focus of our investments now.

"In recent years, themes centering the African heritage of Black people globally have gained prominence in popular media. Yet Western media remains hegemonic and Western sensibilities continue to be privileged."

@sepisomwamelo @mwamelokim @dranangefl @Siahmtui @amour_maryam Please share with your networks this great #GFBR2021 opportunity on ethical issues in #mentalhealth research!

This week I realised I had subconsciously rejected the idea of working towards a particular leadership position purely bc I saw no one in that position that looked like me. Turns out diverse representation isn’t just important for kids. Senior scientists like me need it too.

Oh the headline...🤦‍♀️

Personal Lesson 13 #DaktariAt50 You want to win people’s hearts and trust? Don’t be defensive when criticized; listen and accommodate. It’s hard but do it! Sometimes, many times, not always, there is reason. Listen. #50years50lessons

"… Emancipate yourself from mental slavery, None but ourselves can free our minds..."

Africa's triumph over wild #polio leaves no doubt in my mind that when we act together, #Africa can achieve the most ambitious goals. Despite #COVID19, we must & will continue to fight to kick out all types of polio from Africa. theguardian.com/global-develop…

8. Mediocrity is costly, for individuals, organizations and nations. Excellence doesn’t cost, like many think. Rather, it pays. We should not pursue excellence for greedy reasons. We need to love others enough to serve them with the best quality.

EQUITY must be central to #COVID19 diagnostics, therapeutics & vaccines. Too often, Africa is at the back of the queue. This is why we are advocating w/ partners like @_AfricanUnion & @Gavi for a vaccine that will be affordable & available to all.
