@RemaNagarajan explains the biggest problem with healthcare financing in India. Violence against healthcare workers is just one symptom of a diseased and severely under funded public health system! @MoHFW_INDIA @doctorsoumya

Thank you @womenlifthealth for posting my thoughts on #breastfeeding
For many women, breastfeeding is a difficult journey that needs vital support from family & healthcare providers. @Commed_doc stresses the need of empathy, patience & understanding to create a more supportive environment for mothers. #WorldBreastfeedingWeek #BreastfeedingAllies

#Kindness should be #cool
Being in a bad mood is not a license to be unkind. Being sensitive is not an excuse for being abusive. Respect is a social responsibility. Treating it as optional reveals a lack of concern for others. A mark of character is maintaining civility when things don’t go your way.

“Health equity cannot be concerned only with health, seen in isolation. Rather, it must come to grips with the larger issue of fairness & justice in social arrangements, including economic allocations, paying appropriate attention to the role of health in human life and freedom.”

“Action has meaning only in relationship and without understanding relationship, action on any level will only breed conflict. The understanding of relationship is infinitely more important than the search for any plan of action.” - J Krishnamurthi quoted by Gabor Mate
