I wonder how many different hemorrhagic fevers we can have outbreaks of in a year? #viruses #hemorrhagicFevers #health #disease #tropicalMedicine https://www.reuters.com/world/africa/one-case-crimean-congo-fever-detected-senegal-2023-04-30/

Presented at Royal Sussex County Hospital on my (Brighton and Sussex Medical School) work with forest communities in #papuanewguinea co-planning & introducing health services into indigenous-led conservation collaborations: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11625-020-00805-x. The tool-kit we developed for combined clinical and rapid anthropological assessments with parallel treatment of urgent cases is available free for wider use ( https://bmjopen.bmj.com/content/10/10/e041784) & I am always happy to chat with people who may find the methodologies we developed helpful in their own work.

Thanks go out to my amazing group of interdisciplinary co-investigators from institutions in the UK, PNG, & Czech Republic: Jackie Cassell, Gavin Colthart, Francesca Dem, James Fairhead, Michael Head, Dr Moses Laman, Hayley MacGregor, Vojtech Novotny, Mika Peck, Willie Pomuat, João Inácio, Steve Walker, & Alan J Stewart.

Study Shows How to Boost Early Intervention for Climate-Related Health Risks
A new analysis by researchers from 15 institutions evaluates barriers that have hindered the implementation of early warning systems intended to help local health officials predict and proactively respond to outbreaks of climate-related diseases in the Tropics. The researchers use knowledge and tools from the field of implementation science to propose a four-step, science-based framework for overcoming these barriers and enhancing the success of the early warning systems.

Just joined, so thought some links to my recent work can help folk see what I am about. First up, a piece from me back in May in #TheLancet Regional Health Western #Pacific: 'Can #ivermectin mass drug administrations to control #scabies also reduce skin & soft tissue #infections ? Hospitalizations and #primarycare presentations lower after a large-scale trial in #Fiji'. #scabies #NTDs #dermatology #tropicalmedicine #globalhealth https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanwpc/article/PIIS2666-6065(22)00069-4/fulltext
