Andy Prendergast tells us about the link between social inequality and childhood growth, in high-income countries as well as LMICs. Cash transfers and helping people out of poverty may be required to have the biggest impact on childhood growth. theguardian.com/business/202…

Research and development (R&D) for infectious diseases is often driven more by competition and profit than by the needs of people. We’re calling for reform – and need expert help. ⤵️ wellcome.org/reports/towards…
Jeremy Knox, Wellcome's Head of Policy for Infectious Disease, says: "The infectious disease R&D ecosystem urgently needs reform so that everybody can access the products that they need when they need them."

Thank you Dr. Mutsa! #HIVPED
Ceri Evans@Ceri_Evans17 Jul 2021
Great presentation at #HIVPED from Mutsa on behalf of @ZvitamboZim and the HOPE-SAM team:children with severe acute malnutrition and also living with HIV are at particularly high risk of post-discharge mortality regardless of ART. Work now needed to understand why and save lives.
