What is wrong with #GlobalHealth?

“A critical studies definition of global health would consider global health as the practice of public health in high-income countries for low-income countries.” @@girijasankar06

50 years of hip hop

Social determinants of health is the language increasingly used: but it's been there in rap for decades

Great end to #SkollWF hearing Darryl DMC McDaniels, co-founder of Run-DMC; Dr. Olajide Williams @@HHPHorg
; Sister Fa. (Senegal); & ALI A.K.A. MIND (Columbia). Using music to communicate public health messages. They have music, knowledge, & randomised controlled trials - brilliant & mind expanding. @@skollfoundation

Think we are in for a great closing plenary #SkollWF!

We are reminded of what @@mariaressa said that: whilst lies spread quicker on social media than truth: what spreads as fast as anger is inspiration.
