Air pollution gets ignored in #UNGA80 noncommunicable disease declaration www.devex.com/news/air-pol... by @cathedavison.bsky.social

Ahead of tomorrow’s Gavi summit, which seeks $9 bn in funding, re‑sharing this @devex.com piece on the pioneering Zero‑Dose Immunization Program. It's just one of many critical initiatives at stake, at a time when global health financing is under unprecedented strain www.devex.com/news/how-gav...

At the World Health Assembly last week, WHO member states adopted a long-awaited strategy to integrate traditional medicine into modern healthcare systems — but not without controversy, with deep divisions over how to balance cultural respect with scientific rigor: www.devex.com/news/who-ado...

In 15 yrs of reporting, I've never had so many health & biomed researchers & outreach orgs tell me they're afraid to talk w/press or barred from speaking bc of new comms policies. I understand the fear of losing funds. I don't know if silence does more harm than good. If you can speak up, pls do.

The FDA Finally Visited an Indian Drug Factory Linked to U.S. Deaths. It Found Problems.

Antimicrobial resistance causes more deaths than malaria and HIV combined, yet remains a critically underfunded health problem. US funding cuts are likely to make that significantly worse, say experts, rendering some diseases practically untreatable: www.devex.com/news/could-u...

I had the opportunity to sit down with @drsethberkley.bsky.social, the former head of @gavi.org, to discuss the difficult times ahead as the foreign aid landscape drastically changes. He warned we are entering an era of "polyepidemics" as global cooperation crumbles. www.devex.com/news/seth-be...

"Chinese state media hails Trump cuts" should tell you everything you need to know. VOA was founded during WWII to combat Nazi propaganda, promoting democracy abroad and holding authoritarian regimes (such as China's) to account. A monumental own goal for the US www.bbc.com/news/article...

In her latest article for @devex.com, @cathedavison.bsky.social spoke with our Director of Research, Claudia Martínez, about the far-reaching impact of #USAID funding cuts on #GlobalHealth research. Read more➡️ bit.ly/41SJkPQ #AccesstoMedicine #AccesstoHealthcare #HealthEquity

Groundbreaking new drugs, vaccines and technologies promised to help to end major global epidemics such as malaria and HIV – but U.S. funding cuts threaten their rollout. Experts fear a “ripple effect” when it comes to global health research: www.devex.com/news/usaid-f...

Since RFK Jr just got confirmed today, I am taking this chance to share this wonderful @sciam.bsky.social piece on The Staggering Success of Vaccines www.scientificamerican.com/article/see-...

During his first term, US President Donald Trump signaled his intention to withdraw from the #WHO. He signaled today he intends to carry through on a move that experts say will threaten global health security. www.statnews.com/2025/01/20/t...

New: Trump officials have paused all external communications at health agencies like CDC, FDA, NIH. No health alerts and the famed MMWRs; no updates to key websites or social media posts. And no indication how long the pause will last. With @rachelroubein.bsky.social + Lena Sun.
