On this #ISAD2025, the evidence is clear: denying safe abortion doesn’t end it but only entrenches inequality. The rich can access it in discretion; the poor face complications, stigma, and death. #SRHR policies must be rooted in evidence, dignity, and equity.

This is our moment to chart bold and evidence-informed solutions for a global health system that serves everyone, sustainably. Restructuring for resilience means centering communities, agency, and the dignity of all people.

The recent geopolitical shifts and in the global health system demand more than just adjustments, they call for transformation.
The current crisis has not only exposed the fragility of the global health system but has also presented an opportunity for much-needed reforms.

It's a huge honor to be among the five global thought leaders commissioned by @wellcometrust.bsky.social to develop proposals that will help reshape a global health system built on equity, inclusivity, and long-term sustainability.

The recently concluded #KIXSEEDS AGM in Ouagadougou 🇧🇫 brought together teams from Burkina Faso, Kenya, Senegal, Togo & Uganda; all working to build stronger, smarter education systems in Africa through evidence and innovation.
