New!! The case for Regional Development Goals (RDGs): Unmet aspirations of #SDGs, breakdowns in global cooperation, erratic ODA cuts & coercive nationalism show the need to think & act differently. We posit that countries would be better served by #RDGs. nature.com/articles/s44360-0…

Saluting @davidnabarro - my professor, mentor, and friend, who passed away last week. An original in global health, he left a superb legacy.
Thank you, David, for your encouragement, kindness, and catalytic mentoring.
Godspeed, my friend, and Rest In Peace.

Outsourcing the health of the African people to foreign taxpayers is quite risky.Many countries in Africa can be self dependent.International solidarity is still needed for a few countries but even there an exit strategy is essential.

“Bold leadership is needed. This is an opportunity for Africa to build resilient arrangements for self-sufficient financing for healthcare.” Clear & forward-looking piece, thanks! @ckyobutungi, @seyeabimbola, @DrEmeruemJnr
I'm delighted to have co-authored this critical paper alongside other African global health experts (@seyeabimbola and @DrEmeruemJnr ) on how Africa's health systems can adapt and build resilience following the abrupt USAID cuts.

Is @GAVIalliance forever? Gavi should replenish for exit - and publish its “Sunset Strategy” to wind down by 2030. Also @GlobalFund. @devex @LancetGH @GlobalHealthBMJ @PLOSGPH @WHO @BillGates @CKyobutungi @seyeabimbola @geoffreyyork @raj_devex @FCDOGovUK
The summit will take place in June — it was originally planned for this month. devex.com/news/gavi-delays-9…

These upheavals in #globalhealth financing present opportunities for self-liberation from dependence — if LMIC leaders rise to the occasion. Thanks @raj_devex, @devex, for the discussion.
The current reality spotlights the dysfunctional way global health has operated for decades — it has relied on foreign aid and perpetuated the need for global health institutions, Olusoji Adeyi said. devex.com/news/global-health…

#GlobalHealth must address 4 tensions: Platitudes vs rigorous overhaul of @WHO; Rejecting vs venerating the “Lusaka Agenda”; Subsidiarity vs hypercentralization; & Coddling vs honesty on debt service.

Might a different approach be more meaningful and durable? A time-bound transition from dependence on donors to self-financed health services in LMICs is overdue.

The British public have always shown their compassion and support for the world’s poorest people, especially in times of crisis. The cuts that have been announced are deeply regrettable and will harm the most vulnerable people around the world. The Gates Foundation and successive UK Governments have worked together for over twenty years to ensure our joint funding saves as many lives as possible. It is now more important than ever that the aid budget that remains goes to the people that need it most.
