Sharing my journey on @OsmosisMed — as a doctor, a #globalhealth advocate & a mobilizer for achieving #genderequity in #health. Reflections included from co-founding @womeninGH - 10 years & the inspiration I get from the community of @YGLvoices osmosis.org/podcast/breaki…

@ToyinSaraki @womeninGH Thank you for your long-standing support and more importantly the work you do to transform the lives of millions of girls and women around the world @ToyinSaraki

Today, I am pleased to recognise ten years of @WomenInGH, a decade that has redefined how leadership, inclusion, and accountability are understood and advanced across global health! Since 2015, I have had the privilege of supporting and engaging with Dr @RoopaDhatt and the founding leadership of Women in Global Health in advancing the conviction that health equity is inseparable from gender equity in decision-making. What began as a movement to redress systemic imbalance has evolved into a global framework for advocacy, linking over fifty national chapters, policy networks, and academic institutions to ensure that the women who deliver health also direct it. Through my @WellbeingAfrica Foundation, and in alignment with Women in Global Health Nigeria @WGHNigeria, I have seen firsthand how gender-responsive governance enhances the delivery, financing, and accountability of care. Established in 2020 and hosted by @PathfinderInt Nigeria Country Office, the #WGH Nigerian chapter aligns global principles with national priorities, strengthening inclusive leadership pathways, linking professional sectors, and contributing data-driven insight to the movement for Universal Health Coverage #UHC. I commend Dr Roopa Dhatt, the global and national leadership teams, and every advocate whose dedication has shaped this first decade. I look forward to continuing our shared efforts in the years ahead to expand opportunity, strengthen inclusion, and uphold integrity across global health leadership. #WGHat10  #WGHNigeria  #WomenInGlobalHealth #MaternalMonday #WellbeingForAll

It is the fierce leadership of Margaret Odera, a #communityhealthworker from #Kenya a #HeroinesofHealth #Goalkeepers that give me #hope that we will be resilient in #globalhealth , paving a way for new leadership, recognizing women at the frontline are leaders. #UNGA80 #proCHWs

Highlight of #GlobalHealth in this decade are the achievements of @join_chic in transforming norms & practices to professionalize #CHWs #CommunityHealthWorkers (majority are #women), providing care to Billions. In crisis, laser focus is needed. COMMIT to #proCHIC #UNGA80

We are reminded by Margaret Odera that the recognition and rights of #CommunityHealthWorkers are hard fought & linked to results. #proCHWs is #DecentWork for #healthworker who are providing life saving care. It’s a smart investment. #UNGA80 #HeroinesofHealth #Goalkeepers
