grateful for the collaborative and supportive environment at @SOPHUWC @schneider_helen @utalehmann @CarnitaErnest @CHESAIhpsr for making this piece possible! A historical view on governance, stewardship and collaboration in HRH in SA since 1994 with the aim of looking forwards

Today Cape Town Police men draged a disabled person from his wheel chair simply for asking for water and sanitation at the civic center. How can such criminal behavior be conducted by the very people employed to protect citizens. Every one has the right to protest!

Taking my 'Big P hat' off for a moment to acknowledge this important point about #humanagency. Small p is where we all live everyday, and so it's where we, as individuals, can make a big difference. @BradyLeanne @VanManya

This is the joy we need today. An Afro-Palestinian #Jerusalema (by Nomcebo Zikode), danced in Palestine.

Getting beyond the rhetoric of intersectoral action on health requires an understanding of constraints - competing interests and ideas of actors at multiple levels and weak institutions for collective action @idaokeyo @SOPHUWC @CHESAIhpsr

We have just learnt with great grief the death of @davidgraeber yesterday. David, famous anthropologist scholar, was a great friend and supporter of the Kurdish Freedom Movement; traveling to Rojava, speaking about the revolution and participating to many demos. Rest in Power!

A year ago today our founding director, Emeritus Professor David Sanders, passed away at the age of 74. We remember his life and his work always, and continue to miss his inspiration. Our thoughts are with his family. Uta Lehmann, Director

Great investigative piece highlighting a central problem in SA’s health system - weak systems of community participation and social accountability - despite legally mandated structures such as clinic committees. ⁦@SOPHUWC⁩ ⁦@CHESAIhpsr⁩ spotlightnsp.co.za/2020/07/2…

This is the draconian directive today cutting off all communication in Delhi to try to silence protests and prevent news of #DelhiPolice brutality getting out #CAAProtest #BoycottNRC #StandWithJamia

This is key! And also involves listening to and learning from frontline voices - including patients and communities. But does the Bill in its current form make enough space for this?
