💬 "Development banks should be reducing inequality and poverty, yet their investments in private healthcare are worsening both." - @Anna_Marriott Read @Oxfam's full reaction to human rights abuses in World Bank hospitals below ⤵️ oxfam.org/en/press-relea…

@AFGHnetwork's article on climate change and how countries can help support those need is a must read!👏👏

📢 ICYMI: we wrote for @ScotNational about the need for rich countries to remove the climate burden from those least responsible. Read here 👇 thenational.scot/comment/248671…

We agree with @SmithaSadasiva5. Wealthy countries like the UK must pay for the damage they've caused. Now. Let's demand #WordsIntoAction 👉bit.ly/3Z7tzU0

Global health requires global cooperation. Leaving the WHO undermines progress on health equity and the fight against pandemics, climate crises, and more. We echo @AFGHnetwork's statement and hope the UK government continue to support the vision for global equity! #GlobalHealth

As Dr @jktibenderana says, funding is critical in overcoming the twin climate and health crises. Yet year after year, the UK fails to meet its finance commitments, plunging families on the frontlines deeper into suffering. Let's demand #WordsIntoAction 👉bit.ly/3Z7tzU0

Investment in health should not depend on which political party is in power. Health concerns all of us. This #UHCDay, we urge all governments to make #UniversalHealthCoverage and financial protection a national priority. 👉universalhealthcoverageday.org

The cost of accessing healthcare forces people to make impossible choices. Choices that no one should have to make. This #UHCDay, let's remind governments: financial protection for health is on you!

We can't talk about #UHC without talking about climate change. Vital #UHCDay reflections from our Director, Katie Husselby. ⤵️

#UHCDay from the heart of Parliament! 🔔 We were thrilled to attend the launch of our member @THETlinks' brand new report: 'Advancing Universal Health Coverage through Health Partnerships'. Great to celebrate the mutual benefits these partnerships bring... 🧵

Climate-induced floods devastated Hawa's home, causing the toilet to overflow with faeces. Her family now faces myriad health risks, from fungus to malaria, purely due to a crisis they did not create. Enough is enough. Let's demand #WordsIntoAction 👉bit.ly/3Z7tzU0
