Despite the fact that vaccines have saved over 150 million lives over the last 50 years, progress has stalled. New data released by World Health Organization and UNICEF reveals nearly 3 in 4 infants live in countries where low vaccine coverage is driving vaccine-preventable outbreaks, such as measles. This underscores the urgent need for renewed global commitment to ensure every child receives the vaccines they need. As global health communities, it's imperative to reinvigorate efforts to reach the most vulnerable populations and bridge the immunization gap.

🌟 Celebrating #BlackMaternalMentalHealthWeek 🌟 This week, we recognize the unique mental health challenges of Black mothers. Did you know that black mothers experience postpartum depression at a rate of 40%, nearly twice the rate of white mothers? And only about 25% of black women who experience symptoms of PPD seek professional help, compared to 45% of white women. It's a time to amplify voices and shed light on the crucial need for supportive and accessible mental health resources. Let's advocate for change and support systems that uplift every Black mother's mental health journey. 🔗Check out more resources from Shades of Blue Project: https://lnkd.in/eVfbUPZP #BMMHW2024 #MaternalMHMatters #MentalHealthAwareness #TheConversationContinues

Client work insights👇 A fortnight ago, our team had the incredible opportunity to provide simultaneous interpretation services for English and French during a three-day partner workshop focused on preventing cholera outbreaks. This vital event, initiated by World Health Organization, Global Health Visions and Wellcome Trust, brought together experts and stakeholders to strategize and collaborate on solutions to combat this critical public health issue. Our interpretation services helped to ensure seamless communication and understanding among diverse participants, contributing to the workshop's success and fostering a collaborative environment. It was inspiring to witness the collective efforts aimed at safeguarding communities from cholera and enhancing global health security. Kudos to all involved for their dedication and commitment to making a difference! 🌍💧 #GlobalHealth #CholeraPrevention #InterpretationServices #WHO #Wellcome #GlobalHealthVision #PublicHealth #MultilingualSupport

🌏 We're thrilled to reflect on the groundbreaking workshop, "Developing a Regional Agenda for Wastewater and Environmental Surveillance and Research for Epidemics and Pandemics," recently held in Singapore! This pioneering event convened over 300 experts from more than 40 countries, marking a pivotal moment for Asia’s role in global health security. Key Insights from the Workshop: ☸ Harmonization is Key: Establishing uniform testing and reporting standards is crucial for enabling effective cross-country comparisons and data utilization. 💲 Invest in People: Upskilling personnel is essential to ensure the sustainability and effectiveness of surveillance operations. 💜 Community at the Core: Engaging with local communities ensures that surveillance efforts are both ethical and supported by those they aim to protect. This workshop underscored the importance of forming a robust community of practice, enhancing capacity building, and fostering ongoing ethical discussions. These steps are critical in bolstering regional responses to public health threats. 🔗 Learn more about the transformative outcomes of this significant workshop in the article: https://lnkd.in/gwV-hfHx Duke-NUS Medical School

🌍 Climate change and conflict intersect with devastating effects. A new report from the International Committee of the Red Cross - ICRC titled, "When Rain Turns to Dust," explores how vulnerable communities in southern Iraq, northern Mali, and the Central African Republic cope with the dual threats of war and climate instability. 📊 With the 20 most climate-vulnerable countries currently experiencing conflict, the urgency for targeted climate action in these areas has never been greater. By 2050, it's projected that up to 200 million people annually could require international humanitarian aid—double the number today. We must advocate for robust mobilization within and beyond the humanitarian sector to ensure that climate finance and action reach those in conflict zones, supporting the most affected communities to adapt to these profound changes.

This stark reality underscores the urgent need for proactive measures.

🌧️As East Africa contends with increasing severity and frequency of floods, the ripple effects on health are profound and multifaceted. Examples include the immediate threat of water-borne diseases like cholera and the surge in mosquito-borne illnesses such as malaria and dengue; the health implications are vast. Additionally, the threat of malnutrition becomes more pronounced as floods devastate local harvests. Yet, despite these growing challenges, funding for emergency health responses remains critically low. Civil society organizations, often the first responders in these crises, face a dire lack of resources. 🔗 It’s crucial to rethink how we support local organizations directly, enabling them to build capacity and receive essential funds for effective responses.
