A new article published in @TheLancet highlights a critical window to fund #adolescenthealth, with long-term gains for societies and economies. Investing in adolescents delivers triple returns: for young people today, their future productivity, and as parents of the next generation. The GFF has already shown what's possible through a country-led financing model. The authors call on the need to replicate and scale these investments with greater ambition.

Congratulations to #Brazil on becoming the first country in South America – and largest globally – to eliminate mother-to-child transmission of HIV. This achievement shows that elimination is possible with timely diagnosis, appropriate treatment, and access to maternal health services and a safe delivery. who.int/news/item/18-1…

@albertleanne @eloka___ Soit.

@HyacintheKankeu @eloka___ Même si on prend 1 an les gens ne feront rien pour nous soutenir

La conférence débat sur la Couverture santé universelle sera le meilleur rendez vous scientifique de l’année 2024 à ne pas rater! La liste des panelistes ne fait que s’allonger depuis l’annonce!!! Nous avons besoin du soutien de tout le peuple camerounais pour faire avancer la santé dans notre pays.

@albertleanne @eloka___ Peut-être il faut donc prendre le temps de bien ficeler les choses (notamment pour ce qui est des objectifs et du public cible), de faire la com. qu’il faut et de convaincre les potentiels partenaires de rejoindre l’initiative. 2024 c’est seulement 3 mois restants (❌décembre)

@eloka___ Oui oui mais je dois avouer que nous n’avons pas assez de moyens vu que l’initiative ne reçoit aucun soutien pour le moment.
