“UNICEF is the largest single buyer of vaccines in the world and last year delivered more than 3 billion doses,” says @UNICEFUSA’s Kathleen Fox.
“Buying at that scale really brings prices down, and it keeps the quality up,” she tells @ACFPCenter’s @patrickwquirk.

Our efforts began with @UNICEF back in 2014, and now “only seven countries are left struggling with this health concern,” @Ch_JesusChrist’s Elissa McConkie Gifford tells @ACFPCenter’s @patrickwquirk, pointing to progress against maternal and newborn tetanus.

#Healthworkers are in DRC putting their lives on the line to fight #Ebola are not getting the support they need, and they are striking. Advocating for them must center on the broadly supported, simple notion that "it's the right thing to do" blaserv.substack.com/p/healt…

Three months later, this is my last @washingtonpost story — delayed because nearly everyone involved in it was laid off. I am very grateful to newsroom friends who made sure it published anyway, and to brave Roman Mongold and his family for their time.

Current global #nursing shortage is 5.8m and the projections only reduce to 4.5m by 2030. We’re simply not doing enough to close the gap. What’s a key missing ingredient? I’d put political will and action right up there.
By 2030, the world is projected to face a shortfall of over 10M healthcare workers.
Investing in healthcare isn’t just about improving health—it’s a pathway to creating jobs and building resilient health systems for the future. #HealthWorks
