"For an already jaded demographic of young voters, climate change isn’t a hypothetical, and broken promises will only drive us further away from traditional party politics," writes Grace Tame. "Older generations are no longer the dominant voice in the debate."

Good news - there were 540 publications from clinical trials on children and adolescents in LMICs in the past 10 years, with hugely important discoveries that will improve health. However, ... adc.bmj.com/content/110/...

Brilliant, powerful, inspiring piece by Ben Phillips..Phew! Bottom line: we cannot, should not and will not stay silent or comply speakingofmedicine.plos.org/2025/02/13/w...

"It’s hard to argue against the general premise that aid dependency is bad. Period. No society should have to go through the humiliating tragedies we are already witnessing at scale based on electoral outcomes in far off lands" www.africanistperspective.com/p/african-co... @kopalo.bsky.social

Reckless political decisions destroy lives and undo decades of hard won progress. Irresponsible and ignorant leadership is not just a US problem. It is endemic and will continue to grow if we stay silent. #auspol #health #justice

Israeli authorities are violating the International Court of Justice’s legally binding orders in South Africa’s genocide case by denying the entry of lifesaving aid and services into Gaza. Ceasefire or not, Israel is obligated legally as the occupier to facilitate entry of aid.

Important new study reporting the prevalence of critical illness in 22 nations in Africa. 👉12.5% of hospitalised patients were critically ill, and 1 in 5 died. ⚠️Less than 50% of those needing oxygen, fluids, or airway safety received it. @thelancet.bsky.social www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Could the US vandalism of global health financing prompt recipient countries to liberate themselves from aid dependence? @sojiadeyi.bsky.social www.development-today.com/archive/2025...

Finished 1st reading of wonderfully challenging book by @seyeabimbola.bsky.social. Coming from a colonised country that also exported religious missionaries, these essays articulate many imp. perspectives, sentiments & paradoxes. Thinking a lot now about connecting a system to more of itself.

What is up with PubMed? It's looking weird from Australia. Hoping this is not more idiotic destruction of core health infrastructure by USG!?! But sadly would not be surprised 😯

Why should oxygen be a top global health issue? Here are my quick takeaways from our launch of the @thelancet.bsky.social Oxygen Commission - in images... #oxygen #globalhealth www.thelancet.com/commissions/...

The green veneer of salmon factory farming is shattering with local groups calling it "a dirty, polluting industry that releases salmon effluent and antibiotics into the natural environment, harms seals and other wildlife". #auspol #environment #Tasmania

Let’s face it. Getting rid of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is to make way for less qualified white men to take positions they don’t deserve.

Increased bulk billing rebates will benefit patients and communities and relieve the doctors who work so hard to serve them. An important step but still needs broader Medicare reform. Glad to hear it is now a bipartisan commitment - so let's get on and do it 👇 #health #auspol

“The current devastating impact of cutting funding for life saving interventions needs global solidarity. At this moment, Paul would be calling the world to do something to save millions of lives of the most vulnerable people across the globe.” www.forbes.com/sites/madhuk...

Good to see the importance of medical oxygen being given some air time-- its a lifesaving medication: something we often take for granted in Australia, but not available or accessible in so many health settings around the world. //www.nytimes.com/2025/02/17/health/medical-oxygen-shortage.html
