New Opinion from Martin McKee & I - on an angle that is missing from the current conversation:

🚨📰 Si una corporación de comestibles #ultraprocesados (#comidachatarra), inicia acciones legales para obstruir una iniciativa de salud pública en un país en vías de desarrollo, NO debe existir espacio para colaboraciones con dicha entidad.
Tal comportamiento sabotea directamente los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible por los cuales la humanidad entera está luchando 🤷🏻♂️. Aquí nuestra opinión al respecto en el British Medical Journal.

Rechazamos la acción militar unilateral de EE.UU. e Israel, que supone una escalada y contribuye a un orden internacional más incierto y hostil.
Rechazamos igualmente las acciones del régimen iraní y de la Guardia Revolucionaria. No podemos permitirnos otra guerra prolongada y devastadora en Oriente Medio.
Exigimos la desescalada inmediata y el pleno respeto del derecho internacional.
Es hora de retomar el diálogo y alcanzar una solución política duradera para la región.

GLP-1 drugs offer real benefits and low and middle incomes countries should not be excluded from their potential.
But without explicit governance safeguards, their rollout could weaken obesity prevention policies, @kentbuse @acarriedo @SBarquera

"An abrupt dismantling of the agency, without a considered plan, risks undermining hard-won gains."
As the @UNAIDS board meets next week to decide the agency’s future, it should focus on a strategic transition that safeguards progress

New Perspective: Research doesn’t always ‘speak for itself’; uptake of science into #publichealth policy requires active engagement between researchers & policymakers. @jjaimemiranda & colleagues offer tangible recommendations to help bridge this gap.

“Obesity is not about fixing people; it’s about fixing systems.” Prof @kentbuse from @MonashMalaysia calls for policy change to tackle obesity through healthier food systems, better city design, and prevention-focused health reform.

Opinion: U.N. high-level meetings are considered a rare and important opportunity to raise the political priority of a global health issue; realizing that potential will require a series of reforms. devex.com/news/how-to-make-u…
When industry lobbyists win in New York, evidence from Geneva loses.
Last week’s UNGA High-Level Meeting on #NCDs was a reminder of their potential & pitfalls. While summits can raise political priority, they risk undermining @WHO consensus www-devex-com.cdn.ampproject…

This is how @Nestle markets #junkfood to kids in my country 🇲🇽 — a supermarket game promoting one of its brands 💀. The product carries two front-of-package warning labels 🛑and is banned from schools in Mexico (captured by a mother in Veracruz). Corporations like this undermine public health. #CorporateAccountability
