The University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan, Oyo state, is the first teaching hospital in Nigeria, and it lacks a basic diagnostic machine: the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine. This has put a strain on patients who require proper diagnosis and treatment.

Bird flu. We are sleeping. Learning zero. Our “stockpiles” of vaccine are a weakly immunogenic two-shot vaccine which is mostly not ready and can treat a tiny percent of the population. Our anti-viral stockpiles are small. So many warning signs.

Thank you Melbourne. Wonderful 48 hours down memory lane. Five Continents 🇪🇺 🇮🇩 🇬🇧 🇦🇪 🇦🇺 in past week. Lost baggage, waded through biblical floods, flight disruptions due to climate change and realities of #TravellingWhileBlack . It’s finally the weekend and I’m going home!
🚨 Pandemic Preparedness being tested in real time as the 🌎 gathers to “negotiate” a #PandemicAccord - The H5N1 outbreak in the USA is a wake up call. We have clearly forgotten the lessons of SARSCov2 but this looming disaster might not be so kind to humanity. We must ACT now.

How do all these summits and conferences serve the people when countries can change rules at their whim, and progress is glacial? @yodifiji #WHSMelbourne2024
We are all needlessly emotional over a state that has since failed and is only being held together by a semblance of governance. That facade will soon unravel, and we shall all face the reality.

🙋🏻♀️ co-shocked. But as Clare & I were reflecting (& the reason we attended) - these folks hold the political power & narrative. We global health academics can’t just stay in our bubbles of liberal values & progressive views trading ideas when these groups take key decisions.
As an academic, spend a lot of my life at global health panels. Can honestly say this is the most shocking panel I’ve ever attended. Absolutely no reflection on global health debates. Assumption that UK science + UK ODA = all global health solved. The paternalism is embarrassing.
