On the case for Regional Development Goals. Available here: rdcu.be/e6Bad
Regional development goals can improve global health in an era of diminished multilateralism
Nature Health - With almost all of the Sustainable Development Goals not being achieved amid declining global solidarity, countries would be better served by regional development goals.

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. www.nature.com/articles/s44...

🚨 This @rollingstone.com piece about the Danish investigators is explosive & deeply alarming The whole episode gets murkier by the day The author of the piece got access to e-mails between Danish PI Dr Stabell Benn & 2 HHS staffers with anti-vaccine histories😳 www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
HHS Gave a $1.6 Million Grant to a Controversial Vaccine Study. These Emails Show How That Happened
Two Danish researchers faced accusations of “questionable research practices” as RFK Jr.’s top appointees made their study a “funding priority.”

Delighted to share our new piece on rational #transition to #financing self-reliance in LIC/MIC #healthsystems! Thx @EdwineBarasa @just_nonvignon @JaneChuma gh.bmj.com/content/10/1...
In light of Gavi buzz, very worth re-reading the Development Today interview w/ @ckyobutungi.bsky.social @sojiadeyi.bsky.social
I'm a critic of both GAVI & RFK Jr. Suddenly ending GAVI overnight will cause a lot of damage, but just b/c millions of people around the globe depend on this deeply unaccountable group for vaccine access is not a reason for it to exist ad infinitum. www.development-today.com/archive/2023...
Time for Sunset Strategy: Wealthy countries and @gatesfoundation.bsky.social should publicly state whether they are for/ against sunsetting GAVI & The Global Fund over an explicit transition period. genevahealthfiles.substack.com/p/time-for-s...
“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.bsky.social, @seyeabimbola.bsky.social @ Dr. Ebere Okereke.
I'm delighted to have co-authored this critical paper alongside other African global health experts (@seyeabimbola.bsky.social and Dr Ebere Okereke) on how Africa's health systems can adapt and build resilience following the abrupt USAID cuts.
Is @GAVIalliance.bsky.social forever? Gavi should replenish for exit - and publish its “Sunset Strategy” to wind down by 2030. @devex.bsky.social @genevahealthfiles.bsky.social @lancetgh.bsky.social
The summit will take place in June — it was originally planned for this month.
#GlobalHealth must address 4 tensions: Platitudes vs rigorous overhaul of @who.int; Rejecting vs venerating the “Lusaka Agenda”; Subsidiarity vs hypercentralization; & Coddling vs honesty on debt service. speakingofmedicine.plos.org/2025/03/04/c... @raj-devex.bsky.social @seyeabimbola.bsky.social
African countries dependent on aid from the US now have an opportunity to do what they should have done during calm periods. @raj-devex.bsky.social @cgdev.org @geoffreyyork.bsky.social @seyeabimbola.bsky.social @amymaxmen.bsky.social www.development-today.com/archive/2025...
Quite the earthquake in #globalhealth geopolitics and #financing. The perils of dependence on #foreignaid are clear. Like the man said, "Only when the tide goes out do you discover who has been swimming naked..." apnews.com/article/trum...
This is so insightful. Opportunities to make progress amidst the “..constant tension between the scientifically illiterate and the politically clueless…..” www.nature.com/articles/d41...
This is a reality check. @who.int should prioritize within its means and curb its appetite for mission creep beyond its comparative advantage in normative/ technical leadership, e.g., seeking to create ‘WHO Global Pandemic Supply Chain & Logistics Network.’ gh.bmj.com/content/8/9/...

Opinion | The U.S. Response to Bird Flu is Not Reassuring the World
The U.S. needs to reassure the world it has the outbreak under control.
