The first global screening of the IWG Film Club is happening now! We are incredibly excited to screen 'Cape Town Together' with @BradyLeanne, Abul Ajak, Dylan Valley, and Zacharia Mashele. #IWG2021

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.
Oh, Jerusalem!
Your freedom is our desire,
We’ll cross their barbed wire.

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!

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

As demonstrated during the #UHCdialogue — the #HPSR colleagues stand ready to support implementation - and ask the critical questions needed for #UHC 🙋🏽♀️ @SOPHUWC @Lucy_Gilson @schneider_helen @ashageorge72 @utalehmann @eleanorwhyle @VanManya #zwelionSAfm #UHCDay #KeepThePromise

Learning systems are critical for #NHI implementation: what is the plan for creating mechanisms to learn by design (not by accident)? Will #HPSR comrades be invited to the table? @SOPHUWC @VanManya @eleanorwhyle @Lucy_Gilson @schneider_helen @ashageorge72 #zwelionSAfm #UHCDay

“There Is need to stop thinking of UHC as a health financing project but to recongnise it as a health system strengthening process” – Dr. Benjamin Tsofa #KASHConference

Public health researchers must draw on social scientists, historians, & transdisciplinary approaches to meaningfully grapple with power. Prof London from @PHMSA1 shared a video from clinic committee demonstrating how they are claiming power in constrained contexts #uhcdialogue
"All the plenaries focused on inputs, but I was struck that we need to come to common understanding on the what and as importantly how: Governance, leadership, processes, trust. All these reforms are about power." - @ashageorge72 #uhcdialogue

I would add: do not crowd out (disable) the flexible and responsive acts of frontline workers by imposing on them multiple compliance and accreditation systems
Need to beware of ‘malicious compliance’ in the health system says @ygpillay - so, what does this mean for #NHI? Avoid high levels of centralization, and more devolved decision making must be possible #uhcdialogue @CHESAIhpsr @HealthZA @PublicHealthSA @HealtheNews @Bhekisisa_MG
