1. #Italy is going through a devastating economic crisis,millions live in poverty,our #PublicHealthSystem is collapsing,and yet our government will increase our #MilitarySpending dramatically.
Most of Italian media don't dare to say: we can't afford to spend so much

2. as a journalist,I was relieved when reading the #WikiLeaks cables: they provide evidence that between 2001 and Feb2010, both right-wing and centerleft Italian governments resisted US pressures to increase #Italy's #MilitarySpending to 2% GDP. BUT now, things will change
3. #Italy will increase its #MilitarySpending dramatically,no matter millions live in poverty and poverty will skyrocket, no matter our hospitals are collapsing,after #Covid.
Most of the Italian media don't dare to say: we shouldn't spend so much for weapons,we can't afford it

(1/75) To start, what *is* #GlobalCardiacSurgery?
GCS extends far beyond OR, from community-based disease detection & efficient referral networks to timely care, long-term follow-up, robust supply chains & adequate financial risk protection. #WHA75

(2/75) Why does #GlobalCardiacSurgery matter?
⚠️ Every year, 18 million people die from #CVD
🫀 500 million live with CVD; 100s of millions more to come.
🏥 Up to 1/3 will require #CTSurgery or interventional care in lifetime

1/ Shared few insights emerging from community-based #COVID care that some communities have begun in #Adivasi populations in #Chamarajanagar with support from #ZillaPanchayat in live video interaction with #Karnataka #GramPanchayats thanks to @gokRDPR
2/ #COVID19 care needs to be rational & #evidence-based but also respectful & dignified; these are not aspects we have done well with in our #HealthSystem & hence need special attention;
3/ Dignified & respectful care requires an awareness of diverse socio-economic & cultural contexts at individual, household, neighbourhood & societal levels; we haven't substantively engaged with (#caste #gender #disability #sexuality #privacy )-aware care at systemic level
🔑Takeaways from @Chemonics @USAIDGH @HRH2030Program #HSR2020 Session: How do #healthworker #data & decisions improve #healthsystems #resilience? 🧵(1/n)
#ReimagineHealthSystems
#ReimagineHealthSystems
1⃣ Awareness. Most policymakers are challenged to understand how many #health workers they have, their locations, status & latest qualifications when making #health decisions. These challenges are exacerbated during crises like #COVID19 where real-time data are essential.
2⃣ Self-regulation. Effective human resource information systems are not built overnight. Most resulted through #healthpolicy mandates & required #multisectoral governance & buy-in, including health, IT, education, labor, finance, private sectors, as done in the #Philippines.
The RED Talk on The #Business and #Science of #Healthcare is now live! Still time to join us at ruralpolicy.group/red.
The next big issue facing NICE & #healthcare will be our relationship with the European Medicines Agency after Brexit; it will impact our #medicines research, trials. We could see a dramatic reduction in research, access to medicine and disrupt the supply of meds - @steve_mccabe
The British #taxpayer makes a phenomenal contribution to the development of new #drugs - but these can then be prohibitively priced. We need to improve access to new medicines and there is a question around cost, access and funding. @steve_mccabe

1. #HumanRights scrutiny in the #COVID19 pandemic has largely focused on limitations of individual freedoms to protect public health,yet it is essential to look at the broader relevance of realising human rights to promote public health in the COVID-19 response. @DrMercyKorir
2.The right to health requires that health goods,services, & facilities are available in adequate numbers;accessible on a financial,geographical,& non-discriminatory basis; acceptable,including culturally appropriate & respectful of gender& medical ethics;& of good quality @P4HR
#TRIBECON begins #Pravara; felicitations to #AbhayBang @SearchGad & #sudarshan #VGKK for their inspiring work on #TribalHealth; @DrLahariya @whoindia among others felicitated
#abhayBang #healthsystem design for tribal communities need to be relooked for #UHC; strategies & schemes must adapt with local social & cultural context; recollects #Brainstorming with @DesirajuKeshav at @SearchGad leading to #ExpertCommittee #tribalhealth @TribalHealthIND
#TRIBECON #AbhayBang notes with happiness increasing interest in #tribalhealth research, yet this continues to be “off the beaten path”; congratulations to #pravara medical college in bringing this together; the proposed #Bandardhara declaration to improve #tribalhealth research
