Zackie highlights the importance of collective solidarity which helped South Africa during apartheid and also during the height HIV AIDS crisis. It is important for us to firmly stand with those struggling and oppressed now, across the world!
Our second talk of Day 1 of Reimagining Global Health is by Zackie Achmat. Zackie is dives into the big tech emergence and its control over our collective present and future - and the unbearable cost of war (mental and financial).

Just why? So unnecessary.
There is now another patient with hantavirus infection, who is linked to the MV Hondius. The man „had responded to an email from the ship’s operator informing the passengers of the health event, and presented himself to a hospital in Zurich“ according to @who.int.
I've spent yesterday and today talking to researchers across the globe trying to understand the hantavirus outbreak aboard the cruise ship MV Hondius.
My story in @science.org is here (and some threaded thoughts coming):

🚨 I wrote in @statnews.com on the #hantavirus cruise ship outbreak & highlight how quickly outbreaks can evolve.
It’s a reminder of what the U.S. has risked by stepping back from @who.int
With World Cup ahead, global surveillance and coordination are essential.
