🧫 WHO now estimates 1 in 6 common bacterial infections worldwide is resistant to standard antibiotics, with resistance rising ~5–15% per year for many bug–drug pairs. Without stewardship AMR could quietly undermine routine care. #AMR #Superbugs #GlobalHealth #InfectionControl
In Gaza and the West Bank, >3,000 incidents of violence or obstruction against health care have been recorded since Oct 2023—about 95% linked to Israeli forces. All 36 Gaza hospitals damaged; only half partially functional.
🧩 As AI, apps and telehealth spread, health data now flows across borders and companies—often without patients realising how it’s stored, shared or monetised. Experts say interoperable, rights‑based privacy rules are urgently needed. #DigitalHealth #DataPrivacy #AIinHealth
🏥 In Iran, airstrikes aren’t only hitting oil depots. WHO has verified 20+ attacks on health care since 1 March, with key sites like Tehran’s Pasteur Institute and other hospitals and labs badly damaged. When hospitals are hit, the whole health system feels it.
🤖 2026 is the year AI moves into routine care: ambient “scribes” drafting notes, tools summarizing records and flagging care gaps while hospitals race to build governance, data quality and training so AI supports clinicians. #AIinHealth #DigitalHealth #HealthEquity
🧬 In Pakistan, 2,108 children were registered with HIV between Jan 2025 and March 2026, most in Sindh. At least 329 children in Sindh and 331 in one Punjab hospital outbreak are linked to unsafe injections and reused syringes. When infection control fails, kids pay the price.
🆘 WHO’s 2026 appeal names 11 crisis settings where health systems are on the brink—from Afghanistan, DRC and Haiti to Gaza, Sudan, Syria, Ukraine and Yemen—people are dying from preventable causes, not just violence. #WHO #HealthEmergencies #HumanitarianCrisis
⚖️ Canada has delayed MAID eligibility for cases where mental illness is the sole condition until March 17, 2027 after earlier targets in 2024 and 2026. Over 60,000 Canadians have used MAID since 2016,
🛳️ A deadly hantavirus cluster has been linked to the MV Hondius cruise ship. WHO reports 8 cases, 6 confirmed Andes‑strain infections and 3 deaths, with one patient still in ICU. Risk to the public is rated low—but it’s a warning about how travel can move rare zoonotic threats
🥫 New SNAP work‑requirement rules could push more than 1 million older adults (55–64) off food assistance, with research showing food‑benefit cuts drive higher food insecurity, worse chronic‑disease control and more hospitalisations—especially in communities of colour.

Putin admits he launched the Ukraine invasion to prevent EU membership and says he plans similar action against Armenia.
#Minnesota has had legendary leaders. Governor #Walz has nothing to do with the grifting of COVID money during the pandemic or the autism funds set aside for that community. The safeguards fell during the pandemic. We will fix it. He’s showing outstanding leadership by saying the buck stops here.

💙Thank you for your work.💪🏅 Water is a precious resource. A lot of people have been battlin' for water for a long time. Some so strong in the early-70's they turned the tide. For turning the tide, Nixon had to create the EPA. Reagan onward, all MAGA worked to lessen it, Trump has.

The way Lawrence Jones talks about the Iranian regime he could just as easily be talking about the United States. Who is the bad faith actor? Trump hasn't been honest with the American public. We have openly double crossed Iran more than once.

“Never Again” was meant as a warning to future generations. Yet as authoritarianism, propaganda, nationalism, and attacks on democratic institutions rise again, many around the world are increasingly viewing the U.S. under Trump with caution — fearing history’s lessons are being ignored. #Democracy

The Government’s Health Bill doesn’t fix the problems patients actually face. Too many people still can’t get a GP appointment, A&E waits are rising, and social care is in crisis - yet the focus is on shuffling responsibility around Whitehall and centralising power, not on frontline care.
