As friends & former WHO colleagues enter today’s feared apocalyptic town hall, it's deeply troubling that WHO is executing abrupt staffing cuts—ignoring the hard-won judgment of its own true leaders who built fit-for-purpose, specialized teams for long-term global work.

Member States get the WHO they fund. Under UN norms, they must ensure WHO stays present & resilient—especially now. The agency should never have been left so vulnerable to the erratic whims of powerful donors and authoritarian populists. It’s time to stand up, not bow down.

As Transform Health continues to grow, we are adding new partners on a continuous basis. I have had the pleasure of knowing and admiring the work of @eSHIFT_Geneva for many years and it’s exciting to see this partnership formalized. I’m looking forward to great work together!

.@eSHIFT_Geneva is a Transform Health partner!
Their work in the investment, development & application of digital health systems in LMICs bridges the gap between strategy & implementation, and aligns closely with Transform Health's vision of digital transformation of health.

I'm not happy about this. We may now need to reconsider base OS of our digital health platform over this decision: Red Hat resets CentOS Linux and users are angry zd.net/33WWChc via @ZDNet & @sjvn
Congrats Elon & SpaceX. This is unprecedented! One of the wildest things ever attempted in spaceflight. A historic feat! #SpaceX
Fuel header tank pressure was low during landing burn, causing touchdown velocity to be high & RUD, but we got all the data we needed! Congrats SpaceX team hell yeah!!
