Ah yes, memories of the very successful ERASMUS+ scheme we used to have for public health trainees. A victim of Brexit. However we still have the Young Forum Gastein scheme, with @paula171.bsky.social going this year @gasteinforum.bsky.social www.ehfg.org/young-forum-...

The #FTWeekendFestival has to be one of my highlights of the year. From AI to domestic & geopolitics. Really should be near top of priority list for colleagues in public health in & around London @paula171.bsky.social & I getting lots of ideas for follow up of our forthcoming book on AI in health

Important paper for our forthcoming #LancetGlobalHealthCommissiononAnti-corruption. A lot can be gained by using AI-enabled approaches but there is a need for new skills, capacities and power to use it for good We need a nuanced argument @eleanorhutch.bsky.social @anticorruption.bsky.social

6️⃣ The way forward Invest in: • Skilled personnel 👩‍💻 • Data interoperability 📂 • Participatory oversight mechanisms 🗳️ • Ethical AI policies 🌐 AI should support—not replace—human judgment.

5️⃣ AI’s dual nature AI can uncover hidden fraud or enable corruption on an unprecedented scale. Success hinges on who controls the data and tools—governments, civil society, or private entities.

4️⃣ Governance is key For AI to be effective, we need: • Transparent algorithms ⚖️ • Strong human oversight 🧑‍⚖️ • Legal and ethical frameworks 🛡️ Poor implementation risks false accusations and perpetuating inequities.

3️⃣ But risks abound… AI isn’t neutral. Biases in data and algorithms can reinforce corruption rather than combat it. Authoritarian misuse of AI can suppress dissent while protecting elites.

2️⃣ How AI helps: Anti-Corruption Tools (ACTs) • Detect anomalies in procurement & billing 📊 • Spot counterfeit medicines 🔍 • Enhance transparency via blockchain integration 🔗 Examples: AI bots flagging suspicious expenses, detecting bid-rigging, or mapping drug supply chains.

🧵 1️⃣ Corruption in health systems is pervasive. It diverts resources, erodes trust, and lowers care quality. Our new paper in Int J Health Plan Management led by @paula171.bsky.social w/ @dinabalabanova.bsky.social asks whether AI might help or hinder?

Today is #InternationalWomensDay Progress on #GenderEquality in health care is too slow. Women have distinct & changing health needs at different stages of their lives. Health care should be easy to access, fair & tailored to meet each woman’s unique needs & circumstances. 🔗 bit.ly/3DmZQ2o

Against a blue background, graphic representation shows a diverse group of women holding a megaphone and placard. In the background are two yellow and black striped tapes. The text reads 'Women's health needs change from the time they are born to older age. But they often hit roadblocks to receive the right diagnosis and treatment they need.'

Violence against women demands urgent attention. One in three women faces physical or sexual violence, and nearly 25% of workplace violence happens in hospitals or clinics — and women are most affected. #BeijingPlus30 #IWD2025

1 in 3 women worldwide experiences physical or sexual violence.
