LSTM’s Director, Professor David Lalloo, has joined other sector leaders criticising misinformation levelled at World Health Organization (WHO) in relation to the Pandemic Preparedness Treaty. A letter, written jointly with the Director of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, U. of London and other leaders from public health research intensive universities, defends the World Health Organization and the proposed treaty. It highlights the importance of the WHO’s role in global health and pandemic preparedness and the imperative of UK support for unified multinational approaches to facing the next global pandemic.

Last day session at the European Health Forum Gastein “Why tacking chronic diseases is a priority for Europe?”. Starting from the societal and economic challenge of chronic diseases in Europe, the question is to guarantee an equal access to health leaving to people in every country. It is obviously a question of investing in prevention and improving the efficiency of care. It is also a question of sustainability of our health systems. But finally it is a question of giving health the right place in all policies in order to ensure an ethical, inclusive and supportive futur to Europe.

Today at the World Health Assembly #WHA77, Wellcome's CEO John-Arne Røttingen highlighted the need for more urgent, structured, political action on antimicrobial resistance (AMR).   AMR is responsible for over a million deaths every year. We must not waste the opportunity of several key political moments this year to accelerate global action.   We're calling on global leaders to: 1. set a bold, unifying goal for reducing AMR 2. create a panel for scientific evidence and action 3. establish mechanisms to regularly review progress   Read more in our policy brief: https://lnkd.in/ehb2qtut

World Health Day World Health Day is celebrated annually on April 7 since 1950. On this day in 1948, the Constitution of the World Health Organization came into force. The idea of World Health Day was put forward at the first session of the World Health Assembly in 1948. International Health Day was created to regularly remind the public of the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle and being active. After all, medicine knows more than 50 thousand different diseases, and most of them can be successfully treated. As the whole world knows, preventing the development of diseases is much easier than treating them.

On the sidelines of the 77th World Health Assembly, Dr. Magda Robalo elaborated on what the COVID-19 pandemic revealed about the global health sector, as well as what the pandemic treaty hopes to address. Dr. Magda Robalo is the president and co-founder of Institute for Global Health and Development and Development and the former Guinea-Bissau minister of health. #WHA #globalhealth #pandemic

Science can tell wonderful stories - sometimes, those stories are a harder read. As we enter High-level Week at #UNGA79, I'm thinking a lot about the new Global Research on Antimicrobial Resistance (#GRAM) stats in The Lancet. Without urgent #ActiononAMR, antimicrobial resistance will account for 3 deaths every minute between 2025 and 2050. That's 39 million lives lost. You can read GRAM II in full here - to see the scale of the threat, but also what we can do about it: https://shorturl.at/VvTdt #AMR Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation / University of Oxford / Wellcome Trust / Department of Health and Social Care
