For those of you who, unlike our lucky @USCedu students, aren’t at the #WorldHealthAssembly kick-off right now, you might be wondering: Why should I care? In an ideal world, our research director Laura Ferguson wrote last year, “global health priorities would be set by technical experts based only on the best available evidence. But global health does not occur in a vacuum. The politics that play out in global health are undeniable…." The political trade-offs she describes play out at the WHA and can have enormous impact on our lives. Read her response to a #breastfeeding controversy that arose from last year’s meeting — see link in bio. #WHA72 #USCatWHA

What is the World Health Assembly? Here’s how our research director, @USCedu's Laura Ferguson, has described it: “… a political forum where decisions about global health priorities are made by political leaders who balance evidence and priorities against the whole range of issues relevant to their country,” including trade, industry and other competing interests. Check out our Stories and Geneva highlight for a play-by-play of next week's events! #WHA72 #USCatWHA
💉💊 Sexual and #reproductivehealth "#selfcare interventions," including self-injection #contraceptives, self-screening for #STIs and #pregnancy, etc., "can contribute to improving #rights and #health."
