Who should I interview about food security in South Africa on Monday’s show?

The moral injury clinicians of all kinds go through on a daily basis is heart wrenching

@urbanjodi We currently looking at policies to see how we can incentivise and support informal traders to sell healthy food

Food insecurity is now predominantly an urban issue. This requires a shift in how we think about policies and governance that shape the food system - local bylaws influence access to healthy & affordable food. mg.co.za/business/2024-…

@tomtom_m Do you have a copy of the release? Seems their site is down

@urbanjodi This is very cool!

Walkscore measures a places walkability based on reason to walk (mix of uses, close together). It does not measure safety or quality of experience. Scores for different suburbs in CT tell a story we already know...walkscore.com/score/

@ricardomackenzi @geordinhl @adenthomas Lets create a safe, inclusive City which supports residents exercising in the streets any day of the week. Lets create transport systems which promote NMT. So many ways we can ensure healthy communities on a daily basis!

I choose to be active today. Lovely day to be out in beautiful Mitchell’s Plain and enjoying our public spaces with @geordinhl @adenthomas Let’s continue to enjoy our public spaces and be active and try to live a healthy lifestyle.

The Urban Health Programme and Monitoring Initiative, aims to inform relevant policies, programmes and projects going forward, and so positively influence health outcomes for communities. See: bit.ly/3Iohj9t #CTNews #CommunityServicesandHealth

@miamalan I would be interested to know the hours the doctors from other countries are working for those salaries. Also compare other professions between countries- if all are similar then SA doctor wage bill appropriate

How do SA state docs' salaries compare with docs in the rest of Africa? * NIGERIA: medical officers = R20 000/year; SA counterparts make 3x more than that/month * KENYA: Medical interns = R19 000/month in 2013. SA interns in 2013: R28 000/month bhekisisa.org/article/2024-0…

@urbanjodi Now that’s a campaign I’d support

You are all interpreting this incorrectly. She is clearly saying that all Capetonians deserve access to well located affordable housing; efficient, reliable & affordable transport; safe public amenities and employment equity and fair wages so that mornings can be like this.

Cape Town Mayor @geordinhl has made his city’s health a priority, using the #Cities4Health network by @BloombergDotOrg @WHO and @VitalStrat to help address health policies within his community. Learn more about the work he's doing: theguardian.com/advertiser-con…

Fantastic representation from @CityofCT Mayor @geordinhl recognising the importance of a healthy, equitable City to achieve the vision of a City of Hope! Looking forward to the #cities4health summit in Cape Town next year!

For the Mayor of Cape Town, South Africa, health is an equity issue. A new interview highlights his #NCD priorities as one of 73 mayors in the #Cities4Health network. Read more: theguardian.com/advertiser-con… @BloombergDotOrg @WHO

@SANParks Table Mountain NP daily until recently when its become so unsafe that one cant enjoy it alone. @SANParks continue to wash their hands of responsibility to provide a safe environemnt in the park for all visitors.

Name a national park that you’ve visited more than once. #TravelTuesdays #LiveYourWild

What a fantastic week networking and sharing ideas for healthy city policy! Looking forward to the 2024 summit!

@TashJoeZA Mazal tov!

@LaraBriden How many? Article behind paywall 😅

“The only dangerous dosages of exercise are ‘none’ and ‘life isn’t fun anymore.’ If you find a way to stay active that tickles your brain’s reward centres, you are doing it right.” ~ Herman Pontzer newscientist.com/article/mg2423…

@contestedspaces I wonder where they get that data from.. I expect it’s just a mode not real-time data

@natachab Nothing crazy sophisticated. MSN weather maps has an air pollution quality index tab.

What’s happening today Cape Town? We are in the k@k when the wind is not blowing. #airquality #pollution #Loadshedding
