@SayItForwardNow Always appreciate you, Sharon! Seeing you always brings a smile to my face. Hope you have a spectacular week ahead. #SayftyChat

@docmfrank A special thanks for hosting today's #SayftyChat, Michelle! Even though I am only here for a few minutes, I couldn't completely miss such an important topic! #SayftyChat

Being shy is not the same as being introverted. Shyness stems from social anxiety. The goal is to avoid being evaluated negatively. Introversion is rooted in neurological sensitivity. The goal is to avoid being overstimulated.

Who is building the 'if I die, here's all my important info' (banking, bills, last will and testament, etc.) software?

If they can, why not you?

Join me in 30 minutes as I host #SayftyChat with guest @TheSafecityApp! We talk about "Women's Safety in Public Transportation." Looking forward to having your insights during the session.

@SayftyCom @CSR_India What are the positive strides taken toward health equity in India so far @CSR_India ? #sayftychat

Does anyone have any questions for @CSR_India? Feel free to ask! #sayftychat

@declaireit @nomoreslaves @kapoors_s You too, Cathy! #SayftyChat

Have a great, eclipsed week everyone & today's #sayftychat team @docmfrank @nomoreslaves @kapoors_s .

@SayftyCom @CSR_India While we have come some way, there is still a long way to go. This chat has been especially enlightening on how many of us experience similar struggles in health equity globally. #SayftyChat

Q5: What did engaging in this chat do for you today? @CSR_India #sayftychat

@SayftyCom @CSR_India Many of the biases in healthcare are unconscious. Which limits progress. And these are often global. Being more aware as a healthcare system can ensure healthcare for all. PC: @mnt

@SayftyCom @CSR_India Education & awareness tops this list. When more people know what they deserve for their health, they are more likely to get it for themselves. Following right behind is accessibility to clinical settings and strict policies requiring equal healthcare for all. #sayftychat

Q4: What steps need to be taken to address the bias in healthcare? @CSR_India #sayftychat

@SayItForwardNow @SayftyCom @kapoors_s @CSR_India @JVadehra @declaireit Thanks for joining in today, Sharon! Hope you have a spectacular week ahead. #sayftychat

Have to leave now for a group call that begins now! Sending many thanks to @SayftyCom @kapoors_s @CSR_India @JVadehra @docmfrank and @declaireit for this important #SayftyChat discussion and for your advocacy for #WomensHealth and #WomensRights! I admire you all!

@SayItForwardNow Technology, along with the progress of AI should also make healthcare more inclusive globally, drastically restricting the current limitations healthcare faces, in addition to ofcourse the physical barriers. #sayftychat

Technology can dramatically improve dissemination of accurate health information and education... and tele-health can help ensure that those in rural settings can speak to a trained healthcare professional. A3 #SayftyChat

@SayftyCom @CSR_India Technology is now more accessible than healthcare. This means technology should be used to make healthcare more accessible. Right from education and basic consultation to dispensing treatment, technology can bridge gaps. #sayftychat

Q3: What role can technology play in promoting health equity? @CSR_India #sayftychat

@SayItForwardNow @SayftyCom @CSR_India And sadly, many don't feel they deserve it. Being healthy should be viewed as a basic human right. #sayftychat

@docmfrank @SayftyCom @CSR_India Yes, Michelle, this is an important point -> "the healthcare they deserve." Accessible healthcare is a human right. #SayftyChat

Q2: Have you experienced bias in health care? How? @CSR_India #sayftychat

@SayftyCom @CSR_India PC: Journal article: Health care and equity in India published in The Lancet, 2011. #sayftychat

@SayftyCom @CSR_India There are many in India: - Lack of access, especially in rural areas - Limitation on hygiene and sanitation - Excess out-of-pocket spending - Poor infrastructure - Poor ratio of doctors: patients - Education and awareness ... are just a few #SayftyChat

Q1: What are the specific health disparities affecting your community? @CSR_India #sayftychat

@SayItForwardNow Oh! Lovely to "see" you too, Sharon. While infrequent, joining in on the same chat is always a pleasure. Hope you are well. #SayftyChat

@docmfrank Hello, Michelle! I am very happy to "see" you again! How are you? #SayftyChat
