Tomorrow #WHA78 is set to adopt a stronger Code on the International Recruitment of Health Personnel. 🌍

We welcome this critical step to support global #HealthSystemsStrengthening. Through #HealthPartnerships we can deliver an ethical and sustainable approach with exceptional value for money. 🤝

At #WHA78, @THETlinks co-hosted a powerful side event on #globalhealth partnerships with DHSC and NHS England

Prof Ged Byrne reframed today’s “polycrisis” as a poly-opportunity to build smarter, stronger, fairer systems—together.

Let’s collaborate, not compete.

“The age of international aid has ended. The age of co-development is now here.” A sobering thought at the end of the #UKAfricaHealthSummit but one that inspires hope for more equitable & genuine health partnerships to build stronger health systems globally & locally.

Brilliant panel discussion on benefits of health partnerships to the NHS at the #UKAfricaHealthSummit. Examples include increased confidence & skills of UK health workers, learnings on how to improve community-based care and my particular favourite - recognising the importance of ‘civility’ at work.

Nigeria is the major source of #NHS staff in Africa. “It is vital that such migration is structured & ethical”, argues Minister Salako at #UKAfricaHealthSummit. “We must enforce bilateral agreements & support the investment in training in sending countries.” 👏👏

Fascinating learnings shared from Motto Nganda of @lstmnews.bsky.social on how the diaspora workforce is critical to the NHS’s cultural competence.

Listening to how diaspora health workers give up their own time to build stronger health systems in their countries of heritage. Shouldn’t this be harnessed & valued for the mutual benefits it brings to Africa and the UK?
