With massive funding cuts in health accross the board, it is good to see we keep on sharing experiences we have constructed over the years together with doctors, nurses, Healthcare staff, patients and communities.
So much progress that has been made, at risk of regress to worse times.

<p>Malnutrition among pregnant and breastfeeding women in the Gaza Strip is having a "devastating domino effect" on thousands of newborns, the United Nations warned on Tuesday.</p>
<p>Unicef, the UN children's agency, flagged an alarming surge in the number of babies born weighing less than 2.5 kilogrammes (5.5 pounds) in the Palestinian territory.</p>
<p>"Malnourished mothers" give birth to underweight or premature babies, who either "die... or survive, only to face malnutrition themselves or potential lifelong medical complications", Unicef spokesperson Tess Ingram told a press briefing in Geneva, speaking from central Gaza.</p>
<p>She added that low birth weight infants were about 20 times more likely to die than infants of normal weight.</p>

100% true, same in the Dutch case. The rewriting of history is strong, as is the lack of accountability. The 'covid critics' certainly not helping.
Powerful piece by @drrachelclarke.com on the COVID inquiry. Those who say it’s easy to be wise in hindsight are being utterly disingenuous. Many of us spoke out at the time, and it’s in the public record.
