Measles can be a serious infection that can lead to complications, especially in young children & those with weakened immune systems.

Blows my mind that some of the same journalists who see Trump as a want-to-be dictator at home are earnestly discussing the "challenges" for this same man to "bring democracy" to a country it just illegal invaded. Please grow up.
The genocide in Gaza is *still* ongoing.
Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.
This is what it's all about. Fantastic to see @lshtm.bsky.social leading the way. Being a PhD Candidate here means being part of a global effort to improve health for everyone, everywhere. Excited to play a small part.
We found there is "political will" and a concrete plan but (unsurprisingly) no money.
What's the issue?
The lack of a strong network of interested parties limits the power to demand for resources.
Looking forward to re-engaging with this series, which brilliantly illustrates Capitalism's contradictions while hinting at potential pathways to Overcome them.
In London, hate will never win.
Claudia Sheinbaum’s ‘end of neoliberalism’ looks like Donald Trump’s statist oligarchy. Her ‘poverty reduction’ hides a collapse in healthcare access. Her murder stats mask a disappearance crisis. She‘s redefining the terms of reality itself in a direct parallel to Trump’s assault on truth.
A woman sits with a young child on her lap, showing him something on a tablet. The text on the image says, ‘Vaccines help protect what matters most. Check your child's vaccines are up to date. Stay strong. Get vaccinated.’
Have a child in school or one about to start? Illnesses like measles and whooping cough can be serious. Vaccinating your child can help protect them.
Look in your child’s red book or check if their vaccinations are up to date with your GP practice 📆 👇

Dozens of Palestinians have been killed this week near aid distribution sites in the Gaza Strip, according to the territory’s health ministry. In recent weeks, Israeli forces have repeatedly used lethal force against hungry and desperate Palestinian civilians.

"Todo Cambia" de Mercedes Sosa me acompaña y me recuerda que la distancia no puede separarnos "de mi pueblo y de mi gente": open.spotify.com/track/1jJ9m2...
La esperanza también se exporta.
En 2042 MEX no podrá financiar la atención a la salud al nivel -paupérrimo- de hoy. Para el 2010 estamos frítos. Urgen tres cosas:
1. Reformar la recaudación
2. Eficientar el gasto
3. Población saludable

In a couple of days judges (incl. Supreme Court ) in 🇲🇽 are to be defined by popular vote, instead of the previous professional public servant career pathway.
This is a recipe for state capture by: organized crime, political parties, and the industry.
Reports from Gaza confirm that people are now literally dying of starvation.
Western leaders have issued words of condemnation, but words are not enough. They have the power to stop this genocide now.
La #corrupción es omnipresente en nuestra región, sin embargo medirla, entenderla y encontrar soluciones es un reto mayúsculo.
Acompañanos para discutir algunas oportunidades.

This is great marketing (effect is evident in the 1st month), not particularly great for financial sustainability (weight maintenance depends on continuous use)
It is "normoweight" subscription
Who should pay and why? Should they pay?
And this clearly justifies why there is a "...need to call out corporate #corruption in #health" www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...
