Inspiring all female panel discussion this morning.
#GlobalMajority participating in research trials means richer data to improve patient care. Trust needs to be rebuilt.
Importance of:
➡️relationships
➡️coproduction
➡️transparency
➡️honestly
What a way to start the day💥

Will be fun. Promise

Today is my last official day as a @10DowningStreet Innovation Fellow in Health. Learned a lot, grew a lot, more dedicated than ever to the health agenda.
Top lesson: innovation is not always 'stuff' but it is always people. Especially in health.
The work continues.

Nairobi folks - I'm in town! Let me know if you're around for a catch up - pop me a DM, always keen for a ☕️ or two!

Very important and well summarised thread from @daktari1 - why African nations need autonomous health security and the harsh reality of so called "orphan" diseases - until they hit the West. Worth a read.

A thread: Why Africa needs ownership of its health security 👇🏾
Despite @AfricaCDC recording 10000 monkeypox cases & 600 deaths in 2 yrs (20/21), @WHO stockpiled vaccines were only mobilised when monkeypox was identified in far fewer cases and no deaths in rich countries in 2022
ALT The Numbers shown in the chart for Africa are for 2022 only!

"Diverse" has become a ridiculous synonym for "non-white"
A person is not "of diverse heritage" neither is a person "diverse" - it's okay to say Black, Muslim, Indian etc. Really.
If you struggle to say those words, reflect on your own associations with them.

Gorgeous thread on representation in health, the impact on patients and general loveliness - more power to you @PrestonIgweMD!
12 Jan 2022
A quick story. I’m on ambulatory medicine at the VA. Yesterday I went to get a patient from the waiting room. A Black man who served in Vietnam. When I introduced myself as Dr. Igwe, he gave me a very strange look. I asked if I had the wrong person, but he said “no, that’s me”.

Really interesting thread (from someone who is actually qualified 🌟🦄) on the evolution of covid thus far, how its evolutionary pattern has differed from other seasonal coronaviruses & flu and what this might mean going forward... worth a read!

Some thoughts on the evolutionary trajectory of SARS-CoV-2 so far, how it compares to other viruses, and what might happen next... 1/

Does anyone know of UK VCs who invest in Africa (and actually invest vs saying they have an interest)? Who are the best funds at the moment? @Daudex I feel like you might have this somewhere 😃 #africaninvestment #VentureCapital

Great morning speaking alongside @OnyekaOnline and @joeblairkey with the Government Non-Exec Leads and sharing our impressions, experiences and 'so-whats' vis-a-vis innovation in gvt thus far in the only way I know how: with radical candour!

An absolute privilege to have an intimate chat with the formidable @DawnButlerBrent & @OnyekaOnline (who organised the meeting - thank you!)
Exceptionally sage advice from one long term change-maker to two relatively new ones. @DawnButlerBrent does this make us friends now!?🥰

Had the pleasure of meeting Tom in Côte d'Ivoire in 2017 where he kindly took some amazing photos during my first 'big stage' talk about Medixus at the EU-Africa Business Forum. Lovely, talented photographer and hard worker. If you're in Lagos please reach out 👇🏽👇🏽

Putting this out there again. If you or know anyone need a driver for airport drop off & pick up. I’m available/affordable. I will also run errands for you. If you will prefer I drive you with your car too that’s okay. I do this as a side hustle when I have no assignment yet. 🙏🏾

Already been an incredibly unique and insightful experience. A real privilege to see behind the scenes of gvt at all levels. The great talent working tirelessly across the civil service with the genuine aim of making lives better. Thank you @arfh, @DrJenGold and co for this
So from October 2020 to May 2021 I led the first ever @number10gov Innovation Fellowship programme. It was one of the most challenging roles I've ever had but I'm proud that I managed to recruit such an amazing diverse cohort. digitalpeople.blog.gov.uk/20…

And an even greater privilege to have the opportunity to influence the huge ambitions and support with driving forward change in a sector where "small changes" have impact at such a massive scale.
