Great to hear from @labourcid.bsky.social, passing on words from @heathernstaff.bsky.social: “LCID isn’t just about a return to 0.7%. This is about development, partnership, collaboration. It’s about equality, across the world for everyone.”

Great to welcome @steveracemp.bsky.social to our Global Health Drinks Reception here at #LabourConference. “So many countries and institutions want more of the UK at the table, not less.” Indeed. Which is why we call for #RepairNotRetreat.

Conflict doesn’t just put lives at risk. It cuts people off from the healthcare they need. Around the 🌍, crises are placing huge pressure on health systems and disrupting services when people need them most. Call for healthcare #InEveryCrisis 👉 healthyfutures.eaction.online/healthcarein...

Last week’s #GlobalPartnershipsConference put partnership at the centre of the conversation. But if partnership is to mean anything, it must be shaped by those already doing the work.

The #Ebola outbreak in #DRC is another reminder that top-down responses don’t build resilience. Equitable partnerships do. As this powerful reporting from @newhumanitarian.bsky.social highlights, responses that bypass local systems can create dependency rather than preparedness.

“The case for universal healthcare is not just a moral one, it is a strategic one. We should know this from COVID. How quickly we forget. How quickly we cross our fingers and hope for the best.” Powerful closing remarks from @monicaharding.bsky.social. #UKGlobalHealthSummit

“It is a justice problem. The right skills are not reaching the right places at the right time. The consequences of this failure are not felt equally. That’s the most painful part.” Professor Janabi of @afro.who.int on projected shortage of 11 million health workers by 2030. #UKGlobalHealthSummit

Health systems in focus at the #UKGlobalHealthSummit, chaired by @simonforstroud.bsky.social MP. As Professor Helena Legido-Quigley of @georgeinstitute.bsky.social said: “Universal health coverage is not a luxury for stable times.” Strong health systems depend on partnership and coordination.

Great to see our member Malawi Health Equity Network (MHEN) bringing stakeholders together today to mark #UHCDay and call for affordable, accessible healthcare for all in #Malawi. Strong health financing is essential to achieving UHC everywhere.

Integrating nutrition into UHC isn’t optional — it’s one of the smartest ways countries can stretch tight budgets and protect future generations.

Action for Global Health @afghnetwork.bsky.social · 12/12/2025
Primary health care (PHC) is the backbone of universal health coverage (UHC) — and the delivery of essential nutrition services depends on countries’ UHC commitments.

Action for Global Health @afghnetwork.bsky.social · 12/12/2025
The systems exist — what’s missing is political commitment and reliable financing to keep nutrition services running for those who need them most.

Action for Global Health @afghnetwork.bsky.social · 12/12/2025
On #UHCDay, we can’t ignore the reality: nutrition programmes are being cut just as needs are skyrocketing.

On the eve of #UHCDay, the numbers speak for themselves: millions of children risk losing the nutrition services that keep them alive and healthy.

Action for Global Health @afghnetwork.bsky.social · 10/12/2025
With #UHCDay approaching, sharp aid cuts are leaving millions without essential nutrition services. Protecting nutrition is protecting universal health — for children, families, and futures.
