Wrapped up my Research Fellowship with the brilliant Paediatric Infectious Diseases team at Evelina Children’s Hospital last week!

Grateful for the mentors&colleagues who made this a turning point in my clinical/academic journey.
Now back to residency at GOSH and excited for what’s ahead!

WHA is still the most important platform where the future of #globalhealth is discussed. Yet, the voices of children are still often missing from the table.

I reflected on this in a viewpoint article with insights from the #WHA78!

In our latest BMJ Paeds Open piece - we explore how UK aid cuts are threatening global #childhealth.

We call on the UK govt, policymakers & #globalhealth community to rethink priorities & put children first.

Vaccines are powerful tools to fight AMR. In S Africa, PCV10 and PVC13 led to an 82% drop in drug-resistant pneumococcal disease.

Rotavirus vaccine coverage in LMICs could prevent 18.3 million antibiotic-treated diarrhoea cases - just by stopping unnecessary antibiotic use.

Excellent opening talk on #AMR at #ESPID2025!
- 7.7 million people die each year from bacterial infections.
- 4.95 million of these deaths are linked to #AMR!
- Burden is highest in LMICs.
750,000 AMR-linked deaths in LMICs are preventable every year with WASH and IPC. 🧵

Such a privilege to finally meet Prof Asha Bowen in person! Truly inspiring - I have been a huge admirer of her work for a long time as a young woman in #PaediatricInfectiousDiseases & #GlobalHealth!

Come and find me at the Poster Hall at #ESPID2025 if you want to hear more about our project on #penicillinallergy delabelling & how it contributes to #AntimicrobialStewardship!

I am leaving #WHA78 behind with new knowledge and a renewed sense of purpose.

The work ahead is long - but it is shared. And that makes all the difference.

Thank you to all who made this week so special. 🤍

We keep showing up. Because the stakes are too high not to.

In this moment of uncertainty, solidarity isn’t optional. It’s how we move forward.

We won’t always agree. But we can stand together. That’s what matters most.

#WHA78 didn’t shy away from the hard truths;
– Progress is uneven.
– Trust in public health is shaken.
– Many of us are exhausted - from pandemics, politics and the pace of change.

And yet... no one is giving up.

One of the most special moments: reintroducing myself to Dr @drtedros.who.int - almost six years later again, but this time as a paediatrician. A full-circle moment I will never forget.

Last week at #WHA78 was surreal. Proud to have represented junior doctors as part of the @wma-jdn.bsky.social delegation and helped organise the pre-WHA workshop.

An honour - and a privilege I don’t take for granted. 🧵 @who.int @medwma.bsky.social

Just wrapped up a packed week at #WHA78 🌍

Now off to #ESPID2025 in Bucharest to present my work on penicillin allergy delabelling & #AMR and to lead a debate on postnatal #HIV prophylaxis.

Feeling very tired but deeply fulfilled!

With tech alone, we can’t #endTB. But without it, we never will!

Day 6 at #WHA78 reminded us: #AI, digital tools & political will are reshaping TB care in Asia - but tech must serve equity, trust & human connection. 🧵👇

Last night, I had the privilege of attending the launch of A Call to Action: The Second @thelancet.com Commission on Adolescent Health and Wellbeing - and of introducing myself to @drtedros.who.int , a truly surreal moment.

Key highlights from the Launch; 🧵👇

Almost 6 years later, privileged to introduce myself to @drtedros.who.int again!

This time not as a medical student but as a young paediatrician! 🙏🏼

At the ‘Collaboration&Solutions for #MigrantHealth’ session today, we emphasised that migrant health is not just a humanitarian concern but a core #publichealth responsibility.We call for better, more inclusive data, greater investment and a shift in perspective! #WHA78 @profkarlblanchet.bsky.social

At #WHA78, the call is clear: it is time to build a global ecosystem where paediatric medicines are not an afterthought.

Leadership, collaboration and speed must define the next decade - no child should die from a disease we have tools to manage. @medicinespatentpool.org @dndi.org @mmv.org

At #YouthInHealthDiplomacy session today, #youngleaders demanded inclusive governance, youth-friendly health education and real investment in youth-led #NCD solutions.

The #pandemicagreement gives hope - but the real work starts now.

We need to focus on 3 pillars to be ready for what is coming after as @rajpanjabi.bsky.social highlighted at today’s #PandemicReadiness panel!

Accountability. Financing. Regional self-reliance.
