Public health must not be silent.

Gaza is facing a catastrophic collapse of health systems, infrastructure, and basic determinants of life.

📣 Health requires peace. Silence is not neutrality.

As the conversation on the future of the CAP unfolds, I’m struck by health still being left at the margins.

No real focus on nutrition, AMR, or the role agriculture plays in shaping people’s wellbeing.

There are genuine opportunities for alignment if we only choose to take them.

Honoured to join the European Public Health Alliance
@epha-eu.bsky.social as a new Expert Advisor.
Excited to contribute to advancing public health through integrated approaches to antimicrobial resistance and One Health.

"It is March 26th. We still have no information on the EU4Healthwork programme for 2025, its operating grants, and whether they would cover activities we have implemented since January."

"While von Ursula von der Leyen has not hesitated to express support for “the Georgian people fighting for democracy”, she has remained remarkably quiet about the uprising in Serbia."

Our DG @milkasokolovic.bsky.social concluded the discussion with key lessons from @who.int CSO consultation process:
✔️Engage civil society early
✔️Include diverse perspectives inc. marginalised voices
✔️Use clear feedback processes
Such steps foster trust & drive equitable global health governance

4. We must confront dinsinformation and more, disdain for science, wherever we encounter it. We cannot afford to “stay in our lane.”

We must move beyond producing evidence; we must become its advocates and protectors. Our collective voice and courage are more critical than ever. 13/14
