In light of Gavi buzz, very worth re-reading the Development Today interview w/ @ckyobutungi.bsky.social @sojiadeyi.bsky.social

Time for Sunset Strategy:
Wealthy countries and @gatesfoundation.bsky.social should publicly state whether they are for/ against sunsetting GAVI & The Global Fund over an explicit transition period.

“Bold leadership is needed. This is an opportunity for Africa to build resilient arrangements for self-sufficient financing for healthcare.” Clear & forward-looking piece, thanks! @ckyobutungi.bsky.social, @seyeabimbola.bsky.social @ Dr. Ebere Okereke.

Is @GAVIalliance.bsky.social forever? Gavi should replenish for exit - and publish its “Sunset Strategy” to wind down by 2030. @devex.bsky.social @genevahealthfiles.bsky.social @lancetgh.bsky.social

#GlobalHealth must address 4 tensions: Platitudes vs rigorous overhaul of @who.int; Rejecting vs venerating the “Lusaka Agenda”; Subsidiarity vs hypercentralization; & Coddling vs honesty on debt service.

African countries dependent on aid from the US now have an opportunity to do what they should have done during calm periods. @raj-devex.bsky.social @cgdev.org

Quite the earthquake in #globalhealth geopolitics and #financing. The perils of dependence on #foreignaid are clear. Like the man said, "Only when the tide goes out do you discover who has been swimming naked..."

This is so insightful. Opportunities to make progress amidst the “..constant tension between the scientifically illiterate and the politically clueless…..”

This is a reality check. @who.int should prioritize within its means and curb its appetite for mission creep beyond its comparative advantage in normative/ technical leadership, e.g., seeking to create ‘WHO Global Pandemic Supply Chain & Logistics Network.’

I am one of 100s of scientists in the the World that is Watching the U.S. Deal With Bird Flu, and It’s Scary! Today, my opinion piece on the NY Times. Let's hope we take more serious epidemics and pandemics and deal with them before they emerge. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/19/o...

Truth be told.
