#PTSD survivors specifically have a low stress tolerance.

This is why you check on your ‘strong friends’ - which I probably am in every friendship.
It’s honestly embarrassing when you realize your stress threshold is so thin that just can’t handle stress you could before. You makes you feel really bad.

LIVE: Groundbreaking ceremony for the WHO Global Traditional Medicine Centre with @DrTedros and Prime Minister @narendramodi twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
“The WHO Global Centre for Traditional Medicine will help to harness the power of science to strengthen the evidence base for traditional medicine; …and help ensure that everyone has access to safe and effective treatment. This is an essential part of WHO’s mission”-@DrTedros 
“Traditional medicine has been an integral resource for health for centuries in communities 🌍. It’s still a mainstay for some with inequities in access to conventional medicine, but also because of trust in traditional knowledge, practices & resources”-@DrTedros
Strengthened primary health care (PHC) could be our ticket to universal health coverage.
But only with the right financing arrangements.

When successfully delivered, primary health care can:
1⃣ Improve equity, promote good health, & reduce risk of disease

3⃣ Save governments money

Although a staple of high-performing health systems, #PrimaryHealthCare lacks funding, quality, & accessibility in many low- & middle-income countries (LMICs).

On #UHCDay, we must remind everyone that it's not just #COVID19 that’s killing people. It's:
-underprivilege
-lack of access
-years of living with health conditions that haven't been properly managed because of their skin colour, ethnicity, or social group

We all have different health needs, but our right to health is the same. Health systems must be ready to provide the full spectrum of

🏥rehabilitative
🏥palliative
services based on our needs, not our ability to pay.
That means #HealthForAll!

1/ Thread on High Level Expert Committee for Prevention & Management of COVID 3rd wave chaired by #DeviShetty & nearly #allmale & clinician led committee with hardly any diverse expertise needed (covered in my earlier thread which fell on deaf ears @BSYBJP @mla_sudhakar);
2/ My view based on my training in medicine & #PublicHealth & what I have learned through several years of #CommunityEngagement & #PrimaryHealthCare in rural Karnataka #Chamarajanagar;
3/ While the original notification was all men, 2 women seem to have been added; the summary of the report is about 30 pages while the "detailed recommendations" are 60 pages; rather poor attempt at summarising IMO
Today, WHO, @UNICEF & Ministry of Healthcare of #Kazakhstan 🇰🇿 co-host a high-level dialogue & call on political leaders to reinforce their commitment to #PrimaryHealthCare as we respond to #COVID19 & health emergencies & build forward better.
