In New York City, Covid killed more people than any other cause in the pandemic’s first year and caused life expectancy to drop by 4.6 years on average, according to the newly released annual report of NYC vital statistics. Confirmation of a devastating toll. 1/thread
What gets measured can be managed, which is why reports like this are crucial. More than 200 New Yorkers die every day, including >50 people under age 65, a data point I tracked closely as NYC Health Commissioner and focused intently on bringing down. bit.ly/41cFZcm 2/ 
Every life counts. A moving piece published last week in @nytimes shows vividly the necessity—and challenge—of tracking all births and deaths. 3/ bit.ly/3Gmll1O

Mike Signorile told me when he was diagnosed with prostate #cancer, he knew he had to speak out about it to help alert and demystify the process of dxd & treatment. He speaks to all of that here.

Ben Ryan talks about the emotional toll #cancer takes even as the treatment ravages you. Both Mike and Ben talked about the problems inherent in the US healthcare system and that was WITH them both having incomes and health insurance.

En el #WorldHealthDay #diamundialdelasalud les comparto los puntos más notables en esta administración en orden cronológico (ningún logro, por cierto)

This morning, doctors, nurses and other healthcare workers blocked HM Treasury, to call on the government to stop financing fossil fuels in the name of public health. #ActNow #ForHealthsSake #WorldHealthDay #PaidToPollute (1/6) ⬇️

One key rule of farming is patience.
If you are not patient enough don't worry you can still be in the agric business.
Yes, I said so because along the value chain there are many ways of making money but one key opportunity for those who want to venture is agro marketing.

There are many agricultural products people around you consume; you could start being a distributor.
In fact, most times I advise anyone who wants to go into farming or production to start off marketing.

That way you begin to learn some basics so when you go into your own, you would have identified the need of the customers in your niche.
For example, if you want to start a layers farm, sell eggs!

1/ Did you know 1 in 5 young adults in India has high blood pressure? Scarily, high BP is often symptomless — hence its nickname, “the silent killer.”

Today is #WorldHealthDay. Over the past year, health care has been top of mind for everyone around the world. And it has been no different for the team at @thewalrus. Here are some stories, talks, and podcasts that we’re thinking about (thread ahead!)
Early in the pandemic, The Walrus team started Record of a Pandemic, which includes stories of what everyone is going through during this unusual time. Check out the series here: thewalrus.ca/covid-19/ #WorldHealthDay
In the #SlaightPrize–nominated article “Your Brain on COVID-19,” science writer Carolyn Abraham explains why our minds are not designed to process threats like the coronavirus pandemic. #WorldHealthDay thewalrus.ca/your-brain-on-…

LIVE on #WorldHealthDay with @DrTedros: An urgent call to work together to tackle health inequities pscp.tv/w/czxFdjI2MTAy…
"#HealthEquity is the theme of #WorldHealthDay this year. This is one of the core challenges our time, which is why we are launching a campaign to build a fairer and healthier world"-@DrTedros
"Inequity is a not new problem, of course, but the #COVID19 pandemic has brought it into sharp focus. More than 2,850,000 of our sisters and brothers have lost their lives – and we have lost them"-@DrTedros #WorldHealthDay
1/ #WorldHealthDay is also a good day to reflect on the opportunities that many India's health challenges bring. In this thread, we summarise some.
First, investing more in health and recognizing disease prevention and health promotion should be the topmost priority.

2/ Currently, India has one of the lowest allocations to health among all countries of the world as percentage of GDP.
#HealthExpense

3/ As a result of such a low investment in health and due to high out-of-pocket expenditure (85.6% according to the @WorldBank) millions of people are pushed further into poverty and are unable to escape.

And so Day 3 of my story of God at work in my life as part of #OfGodAndMe #ThisNunsStory series. Yesterday mention of the book, The Silver Sword seems to have struck a chord with many so perhaps its not out of place to mention that today 7th April is #Worldhealthday 1/20
Ian Serraillier ended his talks by showing this photo with the words, ‘No child should ever again have that expression on his face’. My hope this the UK as host of the upcoming #G7 summit will prioritise Universal health care for all. #UCH 2/20
So back to my story. Living at home again and my dream of religious life gone out the window I applied and got a place for September at Brighton College of Education to do a cert ed in biological science & primary education 3/20
1/ This #WorldHealthDay in the quest to achieve equitable healthcare for all, it is worth looking at some of India's biggest health challenges. In the health sector, India has made enormous strides over the past decades.
2/ Life expectancy has crossed 67 years, infant and under-five mortality rates are declining as is the rate of disease incidence. Diseases, such as polio, guinea worm disease, yaws, and tetanus, have been eradicated.
3/ In spite of this progress, communicable diseases are expected to continue to remain a major public health problem in the coming decades posing a threat to both national and international health security. Dealing with these diseases requires a high level of readiness.
