.@naomiclarelee opens the #GHFutures2030 Commission launch.

"'Digital Health is not neglected—it's a distraction to #UHC', we were told. Now, we're in a pivotal moment—being intentional about this new path is essential & requires urgent improvement." @GHFutures2030 Image
"People are much more aware of how we depend on digital transformation...to resolve & respond to health challenges. But, we are also more aware of the ways these transformations—or exclusion from them—can be detrimental to our health & rights." 💬 @IlonaKickbusch #GHFutures2030 Image
"These are the new determinants of health", says @AnuragAgrawalMD.

"Public health & #UHC must be reimagined to include & realise the potential of digital transformations."

100 years ago, #insulin was discovered—today, it is inaccessible for millions.

The Lancet journals reflect on this life-saving treatment and the "golden opportunity to improve access to insulin and #diabetes care" the centenary represents: hubs.li/H0Rp3p40 #Insulin100⬇️ Quote: 100 years after its discovery, insulin should be acce
The discovery of insulin ranks among the leading triumphs of medical research, with effects on #endocrinology, #medicine, and society that reverberate 100 years later.

Track "the birth of an idea" in @TheLancetEndo, by Robert Hegele and Grant Maltman: hubs.li/H0Rbx1D0
Although insulin has changed the lives of countless people with #diabetes, writes David Beran et al, the time for celebration has not yet arrived due to the absence of concrete action on #insulin access.

There are some 26.3 million refugees worldwide today.

On #WorldRefugeeDay, the Lancet journals highlight the health insecurity and inequities refugees face, exacerbated by the #COVID19 pandemic ⬇️

#WithRefugees
Applications for asylum and resettlement disrupted, blamed for spreading #COVID19, and inequitable #vaccine access.

Under the 1951 Refugee Convention, refugees are entitled to certain protections—our Editorial questions whether these are being upheld. hubs.li/H0QDCzT0
Failure to address migrant and refugee health as an essential component of health systems leaves everyone at greater risk of severe health, economic and social impacts when the next pandemic strikes.

On this day, in 1981, 5 cases of what came to be known as AIDS, were reported in @CDCMMWR—changing the world.

Today, the Lancet journals reflect on the science and people behind #40YearsOfHIV/AIDS response through a special collection of content ➡️ hubs.li/H0PGLbC0
Months later, Kenneth Hymes et al. published an article in @TheLancet describing Kaposi's sarcoma in a group of young homosexual men in New York, suggesting a sexually transmissible disease might have a role in the pathogenesis of the rare cancer.

In 1984, Philippe Van De Perre et al. and Peter Piot et al. provided early data on #AIDS in Rwanda and Zaire.

#ChronicPain affects over 30% of people worldwide and exerts an enormous personal and economic burden.

A new @TheLancet Series on #ChronicPain presents recent findings across specialties, with implications for health care providers and patients: hubs.li/H0PgfvK0

Thread⬇️
The Series explores 3 types of pain—nociceptive, neuropathic, nociplastic—and the biopsychosocial model of pain—interactions between #chronicpain, biological, psychological, and social factors.

Read an update on burden, best practices, and new advances: hubs.li/H0Pgfv10
Nociplastic pain is a new descriptor of pain arising from abnormal pain signal processing. It applies to a range of conditions, such as fibromyalgia, that lack clear mechanisms or biomarkers—a challenge to diagnose and treat.

In 2019, the no. of smokers worldwide ⬆️ to 1.1 billion. Tobacco smoking caused ~8 million deaths—1 in 5 male deaths.

#GBD studies of 204 countries highlight the enormous health toll of 🚬 and authors urge all countries to do more to ⬇️ tobacco use. See hubs.ly/H0Pd0590.
89% of smokers began by age 25—evidence suggests an individual is unlikely to become a smoker if they do not start by this age.

Yet over half of countries show no progress in reducing 🚬 among 15-24-year-olds—a critical window to prevent initiation. Read hubs.li/H0Pd09f0.
Why have 🚬 control policies had little impact on young people? They may respond to policies in different ways to adults, writes @aekunst in @TheLancetPH. The solution? Centralising young people's perspectives and experiences. Read hubs.li/H0Pd0YM0.
