Thanks team @UgandaRedCross. This will lead to early detection, early action and in the context of the current #EbolaOutbreakUG, save lives and mitigate community spread. @mutindadaniel4 @Pmnzyoka @pape_tall @Maya2bee @AwaKane24872114 @ritawnyaga

And I would argue the importance of engaging #communities as *part* of that #HealthSystem will further empower them, strengthening the health system as a whole. @ifrc support of activities like community-based surveillance is one great example of how this can be achieved

A high-level #RedCross Movement delegation led by @IFRC Under SG @Xcastel, is visiting #Niger to raise the alarm about the food crisis & advocate for more support for those affected. The delegation has met/w the Ministry of Humanitarian Action/Dis. Management, Mr Laouan Magagi.

FMD does not affect human health, yet it can notably decrease livelihoods by killing cattle. With this #DREF allocation, @palangmerah will support the response to control FMD in its early stage, minimizing and slowing its spread, while meeting the needs those most vulnerable.

La surveillance à base communautaire au #Cameroun donnera aux communautés un système de surveillance simple,rapide, efficace pour renforcer leur résilience face aux #épidémies et #pandémies. @CroixRougeCam @IFRCAfrica @MinsanteCMR @USAID @PowerUSAID @gatesfoundation

Unfortunately we still haven't been able to 'learn' (or care) following the mistakes of our past. An important piece on #globalhealth published in @TheAtlantic theatlantic.com/health/archive…

I saw someone say that much of what we see as scary about polio is actually “long polio” & tbh that’s pretty true. I think the “long” framing makes it clear long COVID isn’t unprecedented & that we need to face up to it. What other long infectious diseases are there? A list*

We’ve received thousands of questions on the Geneva Conventions. So, we’re going to break down the rules of war you need to know right now. All states have signed these – and are legally obligated to follow them. Thread 👇

Partners In Health announced that its founder, Dr. Paul Farmer, unexpectedly passed away today in his sleep while in Rwanda. Dr. Farmer was 62 years old. He is survived by his wife, Didi Bertrand Farmer, and their three children. 1/🧵

THREAD: I keep being asked when we can go "back to normal" or "like it was before". My personal thoughts: We've added a new disease to our population, more infectious and more severe than flu. The world pre 2020 no longer exists - we may want it to, but it just doesn't. 1/13

🚨I've had a frankly worrying number of messages from people who think the answer to the hospital crisis is simple: deny care to unvaccinated people. I talked to ethicists and health-care workers about why this is a terrible, unconscionable idea. 1/ theatlantic.com/health/archive…
