See you in 2026! katribertram.wordpress.com/2024/07/24/o... #OOO #DigitalDetox #PeaceFor2026

This too is likely to get messy. We can’t have the best of both worlds: You can’t sunset and chronically defund and expect to have functioning, effective institutions… 1/2

Important #transparency and also member state #accountability required here, as these are all political posts. This type of shifting (not cutting) costs, and what I’ve heard is also happening - rehiring staff who were fired as cost-cutting - can only backfire on WHO. 1/2

Welcome to the life of a multilingual person (me). My plea for more tolerance and less othering (stop correcting grammar and listen to what I am saying!) katribertram.wordpress.com/2025/12/19/g...

“The tobacco industry has expressed concerns that the Commission’s report may be biased if it relies on WHO studies” 🤯🤮

Re-upping this as gender-affirming care and counseling bans are likely to be extended: katribertram.wordpress.com/2025/01/20/d... #HumanRights #Dehumanization

Welcome to the 2020s, dear “optimists”. #GlobalHealth would be in a better place in 2025 if the “we cheer ourselves along” would have opened their eyes to the world earlier.

At @devex.com we have a content series analyzing the future of global health. Check out our coverage here: www.devex.com/focus/global...

Sing along 🎶 Hello, government, my old friend I've (as the car lobby) come to talk with you again Because a vision softly creeping Left its seeds while I was sleeping And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains Within the sound of climate disaster 🤯

What a mess (also the clear message from anyone speaking from inside WHO). 🙄

🔥 🔥 🔥 A time of monsters (act 1: misery). “Betting on our apathy.” 👇

Please stop incessant reposting of your own posts. If it’s to up your algorithm game, it’s simply not interesting for the rest of us.. 😑

As I begin my job transition, a few reflections on why transitions happen: the personal, the organizational, and what a colleague of mine recently called "ejection seat positions": katribertram.wordpress.com/2025/12/15/e...

In between some UHC posting, I’m enjoying a day off and half-way through 👇 Haven’t laughed so hard in a while - she’s so, so brilliant.

It's not just social media. Looks like visitors to the US from Europe and other countries that are part of the visa waiver program will have to submit an enormous amount of data about themselves and their families, including DNA, if proposed new rules are accepted

I hereby sunset the term “reimagine”… You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope someday you'll join us And the world will live as ONE (…instead of the fragmented hundred reimagining processes and groups by now)

Johan Rockström has for years been saying on climate what needs to be said. No BS celebration, no twisting of press release headlines. Who in #globalhealth shows such leadership? (Rhetorical question 🤥)

As always, an excellent overview and analysis (incl 🎯 comments) on everything going on (and not yet going on) in #globalhealth

Global health architecture reform must be anchored in UHC www.internationalhealthpolicies.org/featured-art... Feat article by @arushlal.bsky.social & @katribertram.bsky.social #UHCDay

This felt like the right book to end 2025 with

The continued rise of the far-right. What are we doing about this? (Silence. Absolutely nothing. Business as usual.)

Ahead of #UniversalHealthCoverage #UHCDay tomorrow (12 Dec), welcome all annual fragmented social media posts and op-eds stating "without support for my issue Y, no UHC". When can we finally flip this to "With support for UHC, issue Y too"? 🙄

This looks like something I need to read (and have been struggling with my entire non-NGO career!) 👇

For me this applies to any #globalhealth organization, government, foundation, private company or NGO out there 👇 (More to follow tomorrow on what that collective goal should be…).

Don’t know how things are on X for #globalhealth (I haven’t checked since I left end 2023), but @bsky.app is my bubble of hope. Honest, courageous sharing and caring. Now how to turn that into change…?

#Mustread 👇

Excellent advice for young people about global health from @katribertram.bsky.social 👇🏻 More at singerp.substack.com

This thread 💯 👇

#HumanRights are universal. I took this photo on 13 October 2023. Since then, we’ve watched as the world has forgotten and trashed lessons from history. Shame on all of us.

Pulling this one up, as we’re currently seeing a battle between the “old” #globalhealth narrative and a new (potential) future one: katribertram.wordpress.com/2024/02/22/a...

No end of year, beginning of year summaries needed. 2025 has been crap. 2026 has to be better. Discover your agency (and power), and call out those who forgot their spine (and humanity). End.

Key points from 2025 #UHC Global Monitoring Report launch (what haven't your heard before...? ) -Progress has stalled -Out of pocket spending results in impoverishment, affecting poorest most, and driven most by high medicine prices...

#UHC Global Monitoring Report comms needs a major revamp - I feel like I’m reading the same report year on year, and listening to and watching a 1980s PPT reading. This is NOT how we use data to mobilize action (or interest) 🫣

#GlobalHealth narratives, processes and goal fragmentation challenge: How do we ensure the #LusakaAgenda and #AccraReset don’t compete (& confuse) but rather help push reform in the same direction?

A good read for those of us who want to use social media for quality exchanges and growth - and hope our kids and society do too 👇

Words I hadn't ever heard at work before: L ove I nclusion G laucoma H ujambo T achinieren Starting my last week with thanks for the incredible journey, @light-for-the-world.org colleagues 🙏

We're looking forward to the launch of the @WHO and @WorldBank "Tracking #UniversalHealthCoverage: 2025 Global Monitoring Report" next Monday! Will you join us? 📆 8 December 🕒 14:00–15:30 CET 🔗 Details to join here: www.universalhealthcoverageday.org/global-heatm...

We can and must do better. #UHC #GlobalHealth www.who.int/publications...

108 years and counting. Independence. 🇫🇮

St Niklas (unknowingly) goes #globalhealth this year 🤣 @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social @madhupai.bsky.social

After a leadership blog, here's a #management blog I needed to get out of my system and out into ether - for whoever needs it katribertram.wordpress.com/2025/12/05/m...

I notice a few of my LinkedIn leaders keep the “hiring” avatar active - even when their organizations are not hiring a single position. Is it intended to signal power and relevance, or does it drive the algorith…? ❓

Excellent editorial ( 🔥) and as always, excellent #globalhealth overview 👇

Which #globalhealth #leaders do you think of when you hear this? 😉

Next one of this scale will be in 2042. 🌕 Which - if you count time in MDGs and SDGs like I do - is nearly at the end of the next post-SDG era 🤓

Breaking News: Spain, Ireland, the Netherlands and Slovenia said that they were boycotting next year’s Eurovision Song Contest over Israel’s participation. Eurovision fans who support Palestinian rights have for years expressed concern at Israel’s involvement in the contest.

Ahead of the #UHC Forum in Japan (and #UHCDay 12 December), @petersinger.bsky.social and I spoke about why UHC remains mainly rhetoric in aid for health - and there's a fascinating unwillingness to call out the lack of real commitment and progress. 👇 #globalhealth #results #impact

This one was 🎯 (Thank you @jarottingen.bsky.social for stating what we all know from over a decade of failed “reform initiatives”)

An important moment for #UHC and our community. Many of my fabulous colleagues will be there, stay tuned for more soon 😉 @robyates123.bsky.social @arushlal.bsky.social #globalhealth

This is a #globalhealth #mustwatch 👇 A few points I found really striking below. 🧵
