Power shapes what counts as knowledge and who gets a voice at the table. It’s time we stop sidestepping and tackle these dynamics head-on. Essential thoughts for #HSR2024.

Thanks to #EV4GH2024 participant Fatuma Guleid for speaking so frankly about it

“We keep generating policy briefs & materials - as if what is missing is another PDF.

Yet who has power decides what is considered knowledge and who gets a seat on the decision-making table.

We must stop side-tabling the issue of power, & confront it head on.” #HSR2024

Can platforms like X/Twitter genuinely uphold the ethics of accessibility, equity, and influence in global health communication?

Eager to see the perspectives this discussion at #HSR2024 will unveil. Happy to see so many EVs contributing to this discussion.
