"What happened in the German elections?" and "Are young people to blame?"... two questions I've heard a lot over the last two weeks. I wrote a short blog on the results and why it's perhaps not really about demographics. @ilcuk ilcuk.org.uk/german-electio…

Singapore (#5 @ilcuk's Healthy Ageing & Prevention Index) is rolling out a major national preventative programme; govt shopping vouchers for daily steps; and active ageing centres across the country. "An Index like this is a very useful tool at this time in history".

60% of health is determined not in hospitals but in day-to-day life. We need to look at health- not sick care, says Singaporean Minister for Health. "The value in this Index is to benchmark best practice and give policymakers direction." @MOHSpore @ILCUK

Other key points from @ilcuk analysis: Countries in bottom half of Index have 4x worse access to doctors than the top half. Big gaps in universal health coverage too, but promisingly progress has been biggest among lower middle income countries. Preventionindex.org

Presenting our new Healthy Ageing & Prevention Index alongside #WHA2023 this afternoon: top 10 ranked countries make up only 1% of the global population. There's a 24 year gap in life expectancy between top 10 and bottom 10 countries. @ArunimaHimawan @ILCUK #DeliveringPrevention

52% of COVID vaccinations in France were delivered by pharmacists. When we're grappling with a global health care worker shortage crisis, pharmacists have a huge role to play in life course immunisation, argues Luís Miguel Lourenco @FIP_org at @ILCUK roundtable #WHA2023.

Kicking off our first #WHA2023 event at the Geneva Press Club this afternoon @sinclairda. How can we make sure efforts to tackle inequalities during the COVID vaccine rollout, continue across life course immunisation? @ILCUK #DeliveringPrevention

Japan ranks lower on happiness than other G7 countries on our #PreventionIndex. We're not launching our online tool until Tues 23 May but you can get a sneaky peak of some of the data via our report here: ilcuk.org.uk/introducing-th… #DeliveringPrevention

In Hiroshima for the @ilcuk side event at the G7. #DeliveringPrevention. Giving delegates a sneak preview of our Healthy Ageing and Prevention Index which will go live next week alongside the @who General Assembly.

Our Healthy Ageing & Prevention Index ranks 121 countries across life span, health span, work span, income, environmental performance & happiness - giving a bird's eye view of how countries are future proofing for longer lives #DeliveringPrevention on.ft.com/3LJoDh8

The top 10 performing countries on healthy ageing account for just 1% of the global population. @ArunimaHimawan presents initial findings from @ILCUK's #PreventionIndex @wcph_official ahead of our launch at @WHO Assembly later this month. #DeliveringPrevention

All countries need national vaccination programmes, need to invest more in prevention and focus on risk groups - @sinclairda @ILCUK opens #ImmunisationForAllAges plenary at @wcph_official

In our aging world, adults vaccination is an inevitable asset that health systems need to invest in. An interesting presentation on increasing adults vaccines uptake in 🇯🇵 by @LilyParsey from @ILCUK. #WCPH2023

Lily Parsley @wcph_official talking about how to increase uptake of adult vaccines in Japan @ILCUK @LilyParsey

8% of global carbon footprint estimated to be linked to the health system. But a lot of the solutions need to be cross-sectoral. 1/3 comes from medications, another big part is transport

From waste reduction and greener health systems to mitigating the impacts of climate change on population health, public health has a massive role to play in tackling the #ClimateCrisis @wcph_official
