I oversaw global health programs at @USAID.
They reached 100s of millions of people, added 6 extra years to the lifespan of children in partner countries, and were eradicating health threats worldwide.
What insanity and cruelty to break that.

Delayed diagnosis of children with ARM remains a challenge worldwide. Emphasis on newborn perineal examinations and possible visible anomalies during postnatal care is recommended to ensure timely intervention. @FelixOyania

In this cohort study, 17% of EDs in the US had high pediatric readiness. Raising all EDs to high pediatric readiness was estimated to prevent more than one-quarter of deaths among children receiving emergency services. @CQ_Stephens, @drauerbach ja.ma/4huvAlh

🌟 We’re excited to announce the successful matches for our 2025-26 Surgical Critical Care and Trauma Fellowship‼️A big welcome to the two promising surgeons joining our team. We're excited to see the incredible contributions and growth that lie ahead for them👏 #Match2025
So excited to see in print and highlight this critically important issue. There is a great need for improved data on the impact of weather and climate on injuries and fatalities
Major disaster events, though rare, account for a disproportionate number of injuries and deaths. Rural areas are particularly vulnerable, with higher fatality rates per event and limited hospital capacity. ja.ma/3AFmmlp @CQ_Stephens @MaryFallat @brkappy @C_Melhado

New brief from @ucsfbhhi highlights pregnant people experiencing homelessness w striking statistics: 70% unsheltered, 61% experience physical or sexual violence during pregnancy. Pregnancy increases the risk of becoming homeless (see below for powerful quote illustrating this):
(1/4) Homelessness severely impacts the health of pregnant people.
Our latest brief, by @MKushel, @marcformarc, @mpepdx & @eveyperry, highlights their experiences & the urgent need for evidence-based solutions.
