Tech & #AI could transform #health systems BUT #HumanRights experts see real threats to privacy, equality. We're launching the Digital Health & Rights Project to tackle these issues. @GHC_IHEID @FondationBotnar @gnpplus @STOPAIDS @KELINKenya @CentreShe bit.ly/3qtpuql

In 2021, we must ground our advocacy firmly within an anti-racist and anti-oppressive framework. At Transform Health, we are committed to advance digital health in an inclusive and equitable manner.
Hear our President @NiNanjira's vision for this new year. #TransformHealth

In 2021, as we advocate for digital health, we must advocate for a system that leaves no one behind."

This map is a disgrace for global solidarity, human rights, and justice. Let's hope that effective vaccines from China, Russia, India, Cuba etc. can break this deadly monopoly power gridlock, and redraw pharmaceutical geopolitics in the interest of people everywhere
COVID-19 spreads like wildfire. Solutions must travel even faster. No one is safe until everyone is protected
#BigPharma monopolies mean limited production & high prices for urgently needed #COVID19 #vaccine
