🌟 Business as usual is not reform. This week at #WHA79, Member States will vote on a joint process for global health reform. If it excludes civil society from its governance, it risks reproducing the very gaps it intends to fix. 🔗 Sign & share: bit.ly/HEARCSOsignon

@CSOs4UHC @MSHHealthImpact @rosemarymburu @ConnellDr @HealthCaribbean @ITPCglobal @wellcometrust Amy Boldosser-Boesch, @MSHHealthImpact noted @MagdaNRobalo's call: "No global health architecture process, no new WHO DG, no agreement can have moral authority if it doesn't move us toward guaranteeing access to health care for half of the world's population that still lacks it"

@CSOs4UHC @MSHHealthImpact @rosemarymburu @ConnellDr @HealthCaribbean @ITPCglobal @wellcometrust "Going forward, we have to ensure that global health work is undertaken through collaborative partnerships by all of society, not just governments, not just philanthropy, not just civil society, but really all of society." – @rosemarymburu on our vision for GHA reform #WHA79

@CSOs4UHC @MSHHealthImpact "How can we talk about country leadership and country ownership if that doesn't include communities and civil society? How can there be sovereignty if that doesn't fully express the will, dignity & desire of the people?" – @rosemarymburu, ED of @WACIHealth #WHA79

Opening remarks by @hickspeggy @ohchr at the @DigHealthRights Side Event, #WH79 #1: Digital transformation needs to be intentionally designed, developed and regulated in line with human rights law. It won't serve health as a default. #WHA79 #CostsOfConnection

@MollyPughJones: Young people are a core part of what we've been doing and involved at every stage, key to our success! #WHA79 #CostsOfConnection

Lenacapavir could help end AIDS. But UK aid cuts and wider financing pressures are undermining the systems needed to deliver at scale. UK needs stronger global partnerships to ensure access. @DrDuneton @AnneAslett1 @ejaf @Unitaid independent.co.uk/news/health/hi…

🌍🩺 Today we mark #WorldHealthDay with a new op-ed: Reimagining UK Leadership in Global Health by @MichaelPodmore & Molly Thompson (@STOPAIDS) UK leadership in #globalhealth is about more than science, it requires sustained investment & partnerships ⬇️ fpc.org.uk/op-ed-world-he…

The UK has the research base and the institutional credibility. What's needed now is the political resolve to back that up with predictable investment and genuine partnership, especially with impacted communities in the Global South leading the way. #WorldHealthDay

The global fight against HIV offers a powerful proof of concept. It's among the few SDG health targets still within reach by 2030. It was built on long-term funding, strong multilateral cooperation, and approaches rooted in community leadership and human rights.

Today is #WorldHealthDay. Here is why the UK needs to match its scientific strengths with real commitment to global health partnerships, as written by STOPAIDS CEO Mike Podmore and Senior Advocacy Advisor Molly Thompson. fpc.org.uk/op-ed-world-he… 🧵
