Importance of political determinants of health couldn’t be over-emphasized protecting & strengthening health systems resilience. @martinmckee.bsky.social

@martinmckee.bsky.social , a longtime friend and supporter/co-organizer of Global Health and Welfare Forum in Taiwan, couldn’t count how many times he has been to Taiwan, perhaps 25 or 30 times?

Thank U!

It’s a sign! While celebrating 30th anniversary of Taiwan’s national health insurance system in the annual Global Health & Welfare Forum, neither the President nor the Vice is here to commit on its reform.

William Hsiao, key designer of Taiwan’s #uhc which was praised as the healthcare utopia, listed the heroes who made it possible- the President and Vice President of Taiwan at that time.
Top political leader’s’ commitment is the key to initiate, and to reform #UHC

@martinmckee.bsky.social “Couldn’t count how many times I’ve come to Taiwan for this Global Health Forum”. “Taiwan showed how innovative technology helped protect health system resilience during the pandemic “.

Lots of innovation can be done to make masks fit better! This one fits so well that there is no fog when exhaling. No worry about the threads.

Insightful analysis on association of political participation and health inequalities. How do we change it?

It has been a busy yet fruitful year.
May 2024 a year of well-being and hope for everyone, every generation, everywhere. (Picture: fireback pheasant. Photo was taken in Thailand. The bird walked quickly like jumping.)

And the gap seems widening! #HealthInequity
Fascinating chart from Adam Toy using Stats Can data. Life expectancy curves for Canada by province. I didn’t expect to see such a wide range; 4 years difference between SK and QC at present.

And this is everywhere. Naive and crazy.
Along with Wendy Orent, I present a new podcast on the history of the pandemic and the catastrophic movement, led by doctors, to chase herd immunity through the mass infection of unvaccinated youth.

Disinformation should be investigated, no matter whether, or especially when it was purposely spread by professionals against professionalism.
IMPORTANT UPDATE: GMC is being taken to court over its failure to investigate alleged disinformation by doctors about vaccines. NEW DEVELOPMENT: judge has ruled the case is in the public interest and can go to judicial review. Catch up here: goodlawproject.org/update/were-...

Ancient wisdom taught us harmony & equilibrium btwn humans & nature as central to #wellbeing for all, including well-being of other lives to support human populations. @martinmckee.bsky.social #OneHealth

When one part of #OneHealth is at risk, the other pieces are also in danger. The problems are inter-dependent, so must the approach to tackling them. So well said, Professor @martinmckee.bsky.social at 2023 Global Health Forum in Taiwan. #biodiversity #ClimateAction

I thought yesterday's Independent SAGE briefing about the failure of government to follow behavioural science was so good, that I did a substack summarising the session, with several short clips of our experts.

It’s the sick system that makes healthcare workers sick.
Absenteeism is a big problem in the Nigerian health system. We spoke to those on the frontline to seek solutions. As so often the case, individuals are working in a dysfunctional system that needs to be fixed rather than blaming those absent. Our paper here

Hugely impressed by the dedication and quality of care shown by those in the hospital and clinic we visited in Puli, Taiwan today. And thanks so much to my Taiwanese colleagues for their hospitality

So privileged the global public health giants came to meet with our rural primary care heroes in this remote community surrounded by mountains in Taiwan. Wisdom and passion sparked and resonated. Such a day! @martinmckee.bsky.social
