I oversaw global health programs at @USAID.
They reached 100s of millions of people, added 6 extra years to the lifespan of children in partner countries, and were eradicating health threats worldwide.
What insanity and cruelty to break that.

Delayed diagnosis of children with ARM remains a challenge worldwide. Emphasis on newborn perineal examinations and possible visible anomalies during postnatal care is recommended to ensure timely intervention. @FelixOyania

In this cohort study, 17% of EDs in the US had high pediatric readiness. Raising all EDs to high pediatric readiness was estimated to prevent more than one-quarter of deaths among children receiving emergency services. @CQ_Stephens, @drauerbach ja.ma/4huvAlh

So excited to see in print and highlight this critically important issue. There is a great need for improved data on the impact of weather and climate on injuries and fatalities

Major disaster events, though rare, account for a disproportionate number of injuries and deaths. Rural areas are particularly vulnerable, with higher fatality rates per event and limited hospital capacity. ja.ma/3AFmmlp @CQ_Stephens @MaryFallat @brkappy @C_Melhado
