#WHA75 requested WHO to continue the integration of information related to terms, codes & definitions of existing systems for naming medical devices through the Medical Devices Information System bit.ly/3LV7Ea0

There are currently thousands of types of different medical devices in use, ranging from stethoscopes to complex imaging technologies. The absence of a common standard name for each has caused confusion; affected supply & traceability; and impeded health care delivery #WHA75

UN Decade of Healthy Ageing (2021-2030)

@UNDecadeAgeing

⚡️ 75th World Health Assembly Highlights: Noncommunicable Diseases (#NCDs) & #HealthyAgeing

The control & prevention of NCDs like stroke, cancers & diabetes form a significant part of #WHA75's agenda. What's their relevance to @UNDecadeAgeing? (thread) 🧵⬇️

#AddingLifeToYears

People around the 🌏 are living longer than ever before. This is good news: we now have an opportunity to be & do what we value for longer.

But our societies & environments still require significant transformations to help us maximise this opportunity. 👉 who.int/health-topics/…

Although we are living longer, our extra years are not necessarily being lived in good health.

In part, this is because the negative effects of living in unsupportive, unhealthy environments accumulate over time & often manifest in later life.

@WHO

#WHA75 adopts a landmark decision to improve WHO’s financing model where Member States target a gradual increase of their membership dues to represent 50% of WHO’s core budget by the 2030-2031 budget cycle, at the latest bit.ly/3yWTLVR

It is intended that the gradual increase to assessed contributions will start with WHO’s 2024-25 budget, with a proposed 20% increase over the assessed contributions in the approved 2022-23 base budget #WHA75

https://twitter.com/WHO/status/1529174699162337286

WHO's current financing model has been identified by many experts as posing a risk to the integrity & independence of its work. WHO’s over-reliance on voluntary contributions results in an ongoing misalignment between organizational priorities & the ability to finance them #WHA75

STOPCOMMONPASS 🛂 🆔 ❌

@org_scp

Spurious claims by this organisation considering there's no case number by the complainant nor other documentation available.

This is the problem over the last few weeks. We've been so littered in misinformation to the point that the public doesn't know what's true/false...

1⃣ It was 'unsurprising' to the claimant that their filing for JR & was refused & subsequently their appeal.

But of course it would be due to the glaring obvious that their claim was about an issue not directly involving the British Govt.

2⃣ It is untrue that 11/12 US proposed ammendments to the IHR (2005) are 'off the table'.

According to the current #WHA75 plenary, the text for US ammendments could well be discussed, but that doesn't mean adoption of those ammendments either.

Today marks the start of #WHA75!

This week, @WHO, Ministries of Health, civil society, & more will discuss #GlobalHealth priorities.

Missing on agenda? #GlobalSurgery & 🫀 care.

Hence, I'll be sharing key points, papers, & developments in #GlobalCardiacSurgery in 75 tweets 👇

(1/75) To start, what *is* #GlobalCardiacSurgery?

GCS extends far beyond OR, from community-based disease detection & efficient referral networks to timely care, long-term follow-up, robust supply chains & adequate financial risk protection. #WHA75

Read: academic.oup.com/ejcts/article/…

(2/75) Why does #GlobalCardiacSurgery matter?

⚠️ Every year, 18 million people die from #CVD

🫀 500 million live with CVD; 100s of millions more to come.

🏥 Up to 1/3 will require #CTSurgery or interventional care in lifetime
