With my time in Papua New Guinea coming to an end in a month (😭 - but I'll be back!) I wanted to write an ode (na bikpela tenkyu tru) to travel here, and the wonders that can be found 🇵🇬💕 theguardian.com/world/2023/feb…

Starting to migrate to greener pastures, well 🔵🦋 Same details for me. The Follower Bridge plugin has been helpful but still missing many peeps so say hi if you see me while we all figure this out together!

@DrShaneRRR @gavi A close up version of the blanket for those interested - at birth a baby receives two vaccines (beibi nila), at 6 weeks they receive two vaccines and a set of drops etc Additional information about what the vaccines are and some FAQs are also provided alongside the blanket

@StefVaccher @gavi That’s damn cool. 👍

Great to share some of our work with @gavi CEO Dr Sania - swaddle blankets co-designed with mums as vaccine schedule reminders in 🇸🇧 and addressing access barriers to routine immunisation in 🇵🇬

@LadiesWhoLeague @Fallb4the4th Or the other common reason for late term abortions - severe fetal abnormalities incompatible with life

@Fallb4the4th @StefVaccher Notice you haven’t mentioned the health of the mother here.

I don’t understand where this is all coming from. It’s terrifying. Any person that considers having a late term abortion is doing so because something has gone wrong. To ignore this ignores the rights and experiences of women everywhere.

@carlystarr82 @AuspiciousTimes During the early days of dating my now-husband (and COVID lockdowns) I once made a whole powerpoint presentation on the Big Things of Australia, including photos from I dug up childhood trips (Big Rocking Horse anyone?!)

Devastating results from the @UKHSA annual report on HIV in England: 6,008 new HIV diagnoses in 2023, up 56% from 3,859 in 2019. Evidence of the cuts which have decimated our services. #new-hiv-diagnoses-1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">gov.uk/government/sta…

Prof Paul Kelly @healthgovau opens #IUSTI2024 with a stark reminder of the disparities and challenges of STI control in 🇦🇺 - last year there were 20 cases of congenital syphilis, and 10 deaths. This is unacceptable @ASHMMedia

@robdmitchell It's so concerning, especially remembering the population is less than 1,000,000 people...

This is really alarming data.

Huge increases in HIV prevalence in 🇫🇯 reported by Dr Rachel Devi @MOHFiji with over 550 cases diagnosed in the first 6 months of 2024 alone, alongside increases in injecting drug use #HIVAIDS2024

There were also high rates of drug resistance (acquired, including vertically, as well as pre-treatment), with the first data from children and adolescents showing 33.6% of 118 individuals assessed on treatment had some drug resistance

HIV prevalence in 🇵🇬 now >1%, with progress in treatment but more work needed for prevention, including prevention of mother-to-child transmission. @HankuKelly @pngimr presenting on behalf of a huge ACT-UP team @ASHMMedia

Always exciting to be back at the @ASHMMedia conference - presenting today on behalf of the ACCESS network on the divergence of HIV testing since COVID-19 among gay + bisexual men who use PrEP and those who don't #HIVAIDS2024

@MLaveil 🤣🤣🤣 sad reality of the cost of living crisis

@StefVaccher Been a while since I went window shopping for groceries 😂

I support a depreciating Kina, but it looks like I won't be eating imported grapes in Port Moresby anytime soon. K122 a kilo is 😑

And the first publications are officially available! - Increasing MDR/RR TB and high loss to follow up - High treatment success in South Fly through established TB response and support - Rural and remote settings under-represented ingentaconnect.com/content/iuatld…

Alongside other reputable health research institutes, we've signed a joint statement calling on the government to include questions on sexuality and gender identity in the #census 🏳️‍🌈 @KirbyInstitute @SPRC_UNSW @kylievfromSPRC @HumanRightsUNSW ⬇️ abc.net.au/news/2024-09-0…

I am just itching to know what the “complicated gender identity question” was that so flummoxed the PM Anyone know - or willing to hazard a guess?

@yasminleighw My algorithms have turned to babies real quick afterwards 🙄 Honestly more pushy than my grandma

The insta algo is hitting me with EVEN MORE wedding advertising. Like hun, I am wed. We are done.

Super excited to have been in Addis 🇪🇹 last week to launch a new @gavi funded pilot project trialling measles rapid diagnostic tests to enable more timely outbreak responses, alongside @HealthPoverty @EPHIEthiopia @FMoHealth
