It's inspiring to see Corus International Integrated Health Resilience Activity (IHSD) adapting to challenging environments like Haiti's. The partnership with USAID, Haiti's Ministère de la Santé Publique et de la Population, and local partners demonstrates a concerted effort to address the complex issues facing the country's health system. Engaging #communitybased organizations through a competitive #smallgrants program is a smart approach, as it fosters #localownership and #empowers #communities to address their own health needs. By working in partnership with communities, #CHWs, and care groups, IHSD is not only increasing #healthybehaviors but also building #sustainable solutions that strengthen the overall health system. In contexts like Haiti, where socio-economic challenges and security issues are prevalent, such #adaptive and #communitydriven approaches are crucial for making meaningful and lasting impacts on #publichealth. It's a testament to the #resilience and dedication of all involved in this initiative.

Young doctors in Ethiopia; we must stand together because the government has failed to prioritize the community's health, the well-being of healthcare workers, and the future of our health sector. Many young, visionary doctors are leaving the country for better opportunities, and even our senior doctors are trading their hard-earned positions to become residents in the US. But when we're all gone, who will care for our people? Who will fight for those left behind if we don't? Those of us who remain in Ethiopia must support each other, share our knowledge, and create opportunities for those who need them. Together, we can be the change that our country desperately needs.
