Important research from our partners at ICL: "high income countries have much to learn from lower resource settings about cost effective healthcare innovations" #frugalinnovation
Delighted to share our Analysis article in the BMJ "Delivering cost effective healthcare through reverse innovation". Learning from LMIC innovation offers such important opportunities. bmj.com/content/367/bmj.l620โฆ

We are so pleased to be working with @DrillCover Arbutus Medical on their surgical Orthopaedic tools.

If you care about #globalhealth, #HealthForAll & #UHC, you should care about #globalsurgery, too. Please check out & share this survey! @theG4Alliance #SurgeryUHC
Tens of millions of people in low- & middle-income countries live with cardiovascular diseases, of which a large proportion will eventually require surgery - but exactly how many?
Help us push policymakers to integrate #GlobalCardiacSurgery

A4: The concept of #frugalinnovation can lead to simple products that are robust, radically affordable, and meet the unique needs of healthcare workers around the world. Great examples: @GradianHealth's UAM, @SIGNtweeter's intramedullary nails, and Arbutus Medical's @DrillCover
Q4: Innovation changes the UHC landscape every single day. ๐ช๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐บ๐ผ๐๐ ๐ถ๐บ๐ฝ๐ผ๐ฟ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ ๐ถ๐ป๐ป๐ผ๐๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐ paving the way to UHC? #UHC2Me
We will indeed - Arbutus Medical is proud to have shipped enough product to enable surgery for 45,000 patients and counting. We won't stop until every patient has access to the care they need. Thanks everyone! @Living_Goods @theG4Alliance #uhc #uhc2me
Thanks @Living_Goods! Fantastic to chat folks moving the needle toward #UHC. At #ArbutusMedical we'll keep beating the #safesurgeryforall drum, and work towards democratizing surgical equipment. #UHC2Me #UNGA

And that's a wrap! Thank you for lending your voice in this essential conversation, but don't stop there. Keep the drum beat going until next week's #HLMUHC and beyond! Much thanks to our great cohosts @HRH2030Program @GlobalHealthOrg @FHWCoalition @Seed_Global. Onward! #UHC2Me
Thanks @Living_Goods for the important chat! One day every patient on earth will have access to the care they need, when the need it... And of course that means #safesurgery must be included in #uhc!

Arbutus Medical is behind you @operationsmile - "space, systems, stuff and staff" is a great framework for thinking about the whole ecosystem! #UHC #UHC2Me @g4alliance @DrillCover
#UHC2Me A2: Essential surgeries cannot be delivered in places where there is a severe lack of space, systems, stuff and staff. We often see this in communities where our services are needed. We think these four areas should be high priority for local governments.
Arbutus Medical retweeted
Absolutely @pgaye. @IntraHealth @NursingNow2020 @JNJGlobalHealth survey of nurses globally found striking lack of seat at that table for nurses & persistent gender-related barriers to leadership that must be addressed to have any shot at #UHC. #UHC2Me

A5: Letโs empower women (70% of the global #health workforce) to grow professionally. This midwife in #Mali applied her training to improve the quality of her care and services but also perpetuated the benefits by coaching her peers and colleagues: ow.ly/TafS50wc378 #UHC2Me

At Arbutus Medical we believe every surgeon needs access to safe surgical equipment. We use #frugalinnovation to design and deliver radically affordable orthopaedic devices like the @DrillCover. We're with you all on a mission toward #safesurgeryforall. #UHC2ME
Arbutus Medical retweeted
#Globalsurgery champion Dr Dominique Vervoort (@DVervoort94) explains it: no #UHC without #safesurgery. As @DrTedros said โNo country can achieve universal health coverage unless its people have access to safe, timely, & affordable surgical services.โ See you at #HLMUHC! #UNGA74
Next week, @UN convenes a High-Level Meeting on #UHC (#HLMUHC). Relatively minimal country investments are needed, but political commitment remains limited.
