At #AAICsatellite, I shared 3 reasons why #HealthSystems fall short of high-quality care:

1️⃣ Service models haven’t evolved with population needs
2️⃣ Reforms stack without rethinking
3️⃣ Users are left out of design

It’s time to build care systems for people, not just around them.

Honoured to share perspectives on #HealthSystems and dementia as a litmus test for care models in Latin America at the #AAICsatellite Symposium in Lima 🇵🇪. Grateful for the opportunity to contribute to such vital discussions.

Kudos!

Graber’s shirt — which directly copies the style of a shirt that Zuckerberg wore onstage recently — says “Mundus sine caesaribus.” Or, “a world without Caesars.”

☝🏽 "History urges us to remember that at the center of epidemiology are people who are suffering."

"At the heart of #epidemiology is a history of violence and conquest. Imperialism and the transatlantic slave trade depended on the violent use of power to assert authority over people in a particular setting in order to understand how diseases spread."

👉🏽 "Other developing countries would do well to avoid pursuing growth at all costs, especially now that climate change is intensifying. Sustainable growth also must be inclusive. If growth enriches only a small handful of elites, it may eventually trigger a political crisis."

"In fact, I am highlighting the hypocrisy of rich countries in erasing their corrupt past (and sometimes legalizing corruption today). Looking at contemporary China forces us to revisit the troubled history of richer countries."

Hot off the press!🔥Our new @naturefood.bsky.social paper asks how have governments regulated ultra-processed foods?

We find a strong skew towards voluntary & information-based (i.e. weak) measures. There is huge potential to expand scope & strength of regulation 👇🧵

“This disconnect was on full display last month, when 77 Nobel laureates [urged] the Senate to reject RFK Jr’s nomination… Their indignation had little to no effect, a very illustrative example of science people being unable to reach the non-science people.”
