Those of us with a platform have a responsibility to use our voices for those most vulnerable. I am deeply touched by colleagues who reached out about my piece for the @rcpch.bsky.social Milestones Magazine. Grateful for the chance to reflect on child health within the #globalhealth agenda.

Wrapped up my Research Fellowship with the brilliant Paediatric Infectious Diseases team at Evelina Children’s Hospital last week! Grateful for the mentors&colleagues who made this a turning point in my clinical/academic journey. Now back to residency at GOSH and excited for what’s ahead!

WHA is still the most important platform where the future of #globalhealth is discussed. Yet, the voices of children are still often missing from the table. I reflected on this in a viewpoint article with insights from the #WHA78! bmjpaedsopen.bmj.com/content/9/1/... @who.int @medwma.bsky.social

In our latest BMJ Paeds Open piece - we explore how UK aid cuts are threatening global #childhealth. We call on the UK govt, policymakers & #globalhealth community to rethink priorities & put children first. bmjpaedsopen.bmj.com/content/9/1/... @bmj.com @rcpch.bsky.social

Excellent session on #AntimicrobialStewardship training programmes. Inspiring to see how impactful TEAM-COACH has already been - over 1000 healthcare workers engaged so far! 👏 #InfectionPrevention #AMR #AMS #ESPID2025 #ESPIDInspires

Privileged to deliver one of the debate sessions today - on postnatal prophylaxis of the #HIV in newborns! Had so much fun - huge thanks to the #YoungESPID team! Already looking forward to the next one! #ESPID2025 #ESPIDInspires

Come and join us today at 1415 for our Debate Session on duration of #HIV postnatal prophylaxis! It will be fun! #ESPID2025 #ESPIDInspires

Kicking off #ESPID2025 with the Opening Ceremony! Excited for three full days dedicated to nothing but #PaediatricInfectiousDiseases and #Research!

Excellent opening talk on #AMR at #ESPID2025! - 7.7 million people die each year from bacterial infections. - 4.95 million of these deaths are linked to #AMR! - Burden is highest in LMICs. 750,000 AMR-linked deaths in LMICs are preventable every year with WASH and IPC. 🧵 @who.int @gardp.bsky.social

Such a privilege to finally meet Prof Asha Bowen in person! Truly inspiring - I have been a huge admirer of her work for a long time as a young woman in #PaediatricInfectiousDiseases & #GlobalHealth! #ESPID2025 #ESPIDInspires

The day starts with #YoungESPID AGM - ESPID and all the Young ESPID team members are doing an amazing job to support young #paediatricinfectiousdiseases professionals in education and research across Europe! #ESPID2025 #ESPIDInspires

Come and find me at the Poster Hall at #ESPID2025 if you want to hear more about our project on #penicillinallergy delabelling & how it contributes to #AntimicrobialStewardship! #ESPIDInspires

Last week at #WHA78 was surreal. Proud to have represented junior doctors as part of the @wma-jdn.bsky.social delegation and helped organise the pre-WHA workshop. An honour - and a privilege I don’t take for granted. 🧵 @who.int @medwma.bsky.social

Just wrapped up a packed week at #WHA78 🌍 Now off to #ESPID2025 in Bucharest to present my work on penicillin allergy delabelling & #AMR and to lead a debate on postnatal #HIV prophylaxis. Feeling very tired but deeply fulfilled! #ESPID2025

With tech alone, we can’t #endTB. But without it, we never will! Day 6 at #WHA78 reminded us: #AI, digital tools & political will are reshaping TB care in Asia - but tech must serve equity, trust & human connection. 🧵👇 #DigitalHealth #Tuberculosis @stoptb.bsky.social @unops.org

Last night, I had the privilege of attending the launch of A Call to Action: The Second @thelancet.com Commission on Adolescent Health and Wellbeing - and of introducing myself to @drtedros.who.int , a truly surreal moment. Key highlights from the Launch; 🧵👇

Almost 6 years later, privileged to introduce myself to @drtedros.who.int again! This time not as a medical student but as a young paediatrician! 🙏🏼 #WHA78 #78thWorldHealthAssembly @who.int

At the ‘Collaboration&Solutions for #MigrantHealth’ session today, we emphasised that migrant health is not just a humanitarian concern but a core #publichealth responsibility.We call for better, more inclusive data, greater investment and a shift in perspective! #WHA78 @profkarlblanchet.bsky.social

At #WHA78, the call is clear: it is time to build a global ecosystem where paediatric medicines are not an afterthought. Leadership, collaboration and speed must define the next decade - no child should die from a disease we have tools to manage. @medicinespatentpool.org @dndi.org @mmv.org

At #YouthInHealthDiplomacy session today, #youngleaders demanded inclusive governance, youth-friendly health education and real investment in youth-led #NCD solutions. Proud of my peers for standing up and defending our future! #Youth4Health #WHA78 @whoyouthcouncil.bsky.social @medwma.bsky.social

The #pandemicagreement gives hope - but the real work starts now. We need to focus on 3 pillars to be ready for what is coming after as @rajpanjabi.bsky.social highlighted at today’s #PandemicReadiness panel! Accountability. Financing. Regional self-reliance. #GlobalHealth #WHA78

At #WHA78 yesterday, @nhsengland.bsky.social hosted a powerful session - spotlighting how global health partnerships drive progress on #UHC. From peer learning to digital access and integrated care - collaboration, not competition, is the way forward.

Proud to represent young doctors all around the world at #WHA78! @who.int

And the highlight of my day - I got to meet Prof Dame Sally Davies! What an honour to introduce myself to one of the women I truly look up to and continue to be inspired by. #WHA78

I couldn’t have asked for a better start to the first day #WHA78- diving into one of the issues I care most about: #AMR We heard powerful insights on financing, barriers facing manufacturers and diagnostic innovation. Most impactful of all, we had a patient voice on the panel!

Kicked off #WHA78 week with the WMA JDN Pre-WHA Workshop yesterday! Honoured to be part of the organising committee + moderate a session on global health careers. Already feeling very much inspired for the week ahead in Geneva! @who.int

Powerful remarks at today’s ‘Rethinking the Approach to Women’s, Children’s and Adolescents’ Health’ side event by @PMNCH! The scale of impact rivals that of the pandemic as the funding and political will are shifting away. We need the same sense of urgency now! #WHA78 @who.int @pmnch.bsky.social +

Next up; Introduction to the #WHA78 -Critical Perspectives on Multilateralism in #GlobalHealth. Insightful discussion on the challenges ahead for @who.int and the broader global health ecosystem. Perhaps this is also a moment(and opportunity) to reimagine WHO’s role/[email protected]

Kicking off this Sunday at #WHA78 with the @youthhub.bsky.social - diving into crucial conversations on the #HealthcareWorkforce. No better way to start the day! Huge thanks to @CalineMattar & the whole team for organising and to all the insightful speakers! @who.int

Honoured to close the day by moderating our final session ‘Careers in #GlobalHealth’ - what an inspiring conversation with two incredible speakers! @yassentch.bsky.social @who.int #WHA78 #WorldHealthAssembly78

Almost wrapping up our WMA JDN pre #WHA78 workshop with a powerful reflection - ‘There is a right to exit - but no right to enter or to mobility.’ A compelling session on #healthcareworkforce & #migration. Thank you for the inspiring talks! @calinemattar.bsky.social

Incredible insights from Dr Harris, Dr Urbaez and Dr Vujkovac at our pre #WHA78 session on junior doctors in #GlobalHealth diplomacy! Grateful for the reminder-research and evidence are key to advocating for underrepresented communities and this is also why I am so passionate about it! @who.int

Excited to be heading to Geneva this weekend for the WMA JDN Pre-WHA Workshop, where I am proud to join as part of the organising committee. I will also be attending the #WHA78 -do let me know if you will be around, I would love to connect and catch up! @who.int #WorldHealthAssembly

Thank you so much for making me a part of this - it was a pleasure to speak to such an inspiring paeds community!

Really enjoyed the #BPAIIGTrainingDays last week - it felt even more special this time as I had the opportunity to contribute to the organisation of the event! I am already looking forward to the next one!

Very excited to moderate this tomorrow - please do join us if you are interested!

Dr Demirjian is bringing a @ukhsa.bsky.social perspective to our #BPAIIGTrainingDays and sharing impressive numbers on healthcare-associated infections and #antimicrobialresistance in children and young people! @aliciad3.medsky.social

A bit late in posting this, but this year’s #RCPCH25 was another fantastic and engaging opportunity! Grateful for the chance to present our work with CHEERI and reconnect with inspiring paediatric colleagues from across the UK! Looking forward to the next one! @rcpch.bsky.social

Another conference and another presentation with the @rcpch.bsky.social! It was a pleasure to present our work with Child Health East of England Research Initiative (CHEERI) at #RCPCH25!

It has been an absolute pleasure to be part of this and huge thanks to @saraheisen.bsky.social for her incredible leadership and to everyone involved. Here is the link to our Good Practice Standards for Healthcare Delivery to UASC: www.rcpch.ac.uk/resources/re... @rcpch.bsky.social

It is a privilege to work alongside such an inspiring group of colleagues and I am thrilled to be back in WHO lands after a long while! I genuinely can't wait to represent and amplify the voices of junior doctors worldwide at the #78thWorldHealthAssembly! @who.int

'The humanitarian system is not a private company that can undergo a hostile takeover to make it more profitable; it is a complex, interdependent system anchored in our common humanity and designed to support people in times of unbearable suffering...' www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

It was a pleasure delivering a presentation at our Softlanding Induction Day today for newly starting paeds IMG colleagues. One of my key aspirations is equal representation and opportunities in academic paeds. It is always pleasure to support colleagues in achieving this goal! #PaedsSky

The decisions made by the Trump administration will have lasting impacts on global health and well-being of every individual in this planet. Now more than ever, we have a responsibility to stand by the truth and defend what is right. @escmid.bsky.social #IDSky www.cmi-comms.com/article/S295...
