AIDS Activism, A Playbook For Global Health Advocacy
AIDS activism was exceptionally successful. Other areas of global health can and must use the AIDS activism playbook.
On #WorldAIDSDay we remember the incredible activism that turned the tide on this deadly epidemic in the past
I’m sad that funding cuts by G7 nations are making such activism necessary yet again

“The Commission’s rhetoric of ‘simplification’ is a smokescreen for dismantling hard-won regulatory safeguards. These rules are not bureaucratic obstacles—they are the backbone of protection for children, teachers, schools, and the quality of our education systems." #DigitalOmnibus

UN calls for legal safeguards for AI in healthcare
Use of artificial intelligence (AI) is accelerating in healthcare – but basic legal safety nets that protect patients and health workers are lacking.
🇺🇳 New #WHO Europe report warns that #AI is advancing faster than health policies can keep up, risking wider #inequalities without stronger safeguards
“The choices we make now will determine whether AI empowers #patients and #healthworkers or leaves them behind.”

Canada loses measles elimination status after three decades, health agency says
Canada has lost its measles elimination status after nearly three decades due to its failure to curb a year-long outbreak, the country's public health agency said on Monday.
Canada has just lost measles elimination status. The U.S. will undoubtedly follow shortly.
Elimination means that there is no continuous spreading of measles within the country for a year or longer.
Canada and the U.S. have blown it, and it’s largely the fault of the anti-vaccination movement.

Many #health professionals have shied away from #politics in the past. But as the Trump administration has attacked them, researchers and health-care workers have had a surge of interest in running for office
