🌍 History made! For the first time, kidney care is on the global health agenda. #WHA78 adopted a landmark resolution recognizing kidney health in the fight against #NCDs.

👏 Thanks to Guatemala and the global kidney community for making this possible!

SCOOP: The National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine, arguably the nation's most powerful scientific organization, is bending to political pressure and removing terms like "health equity" from pending reports. Members are not happy. Story by me: www.statnews.com/2025/02/20/n...
National Academies is altering pending reports to appease Trump administration, some members say
Words such as “health equity” are being replacing with vaguer terms, and 100 members sent a letter of protest to NASEM leaders.

An RCP that actually led would:

1. Listen to its members

2. Advocate for members

3. Defend medical excellence

4. Speak truth to power

This is why I believe the RCP needs @drasifqasim.bsky.social for its new President and @drlkvaughan.bsky.social for VP.

Leadership is not ignoring the concerns of your Members & Fellows - expressed with ever greater desperation as they can't get training numbers & even face unemployment.

Nor is it responding to a workforce crisis by, wait for it, commissioning a 'review' of the problem. (2/3)
