#WorldHealthDay

0 posts0 participants0 posts today

This #WorldHealthDay, the WHO is calling for more efforts to prevent maternal deaths and prioritise women’s long-term health, especially in developing countries where inequalities persist.

We contribute through:

🔹 EU-funded projects
🔸 Global Health Policy
🔹 International partnerships
🔸 Financial support and training of midwives

Ensuring access to maternity services is crucial, because investing in maternal and newborn health is an investment in our future.

Shaft!

(Happy #WorldHealthDay everyone!)

A quote from Audre Lorde; "Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare."

However another quote of hers I particularly enjoy....

"I want to live the rest of my life, however long or short, with as much sweetness as I can decently manage, loving all the people I love, and doing as much as I can of the work I still have to do. I am going to write fire until it comes out of my ears, my eyes, my noseholes--everywhere. Until it's every breath I breathe. I'm going to go out like a fucking meteor!"

- Audre Lorde

Today’s #WorldHealthDay so we’re starting with a reminder of what TransActual are asking for in relation to healthcare.

We’re asking for:
1. An end to trans-hostile policy making.
2. Access to healthcare without discrimination.
3. All healthcare professionals to understand trans people’s needs.
4. Timely access to appropriate transition related care that respects our autonomy.

Heute vor 185 Jahren starb der britische Künstler William Heath, bekannt v.a. für seine Radierungen, Karikaturen & politische Cartoons. Ein Ausschnitt eines seiner Werke schmückt das Frontcover von #WerkstattGeschichte 78/2018 "krank machen": "Monster soup commonly called Thames water ...", 1828.

Outbreaks of the rare #Ebola virus disease can have a devastating impact on lives, healthcare systems and economies.

But together we can beat outbreaks. ❤️‍🩹

On #WorldHealthDay and any other day, we continue to support countries and high-risk communities affected by the virus.

When the main outbreaks occurred, see how the EU mobilised various resources to help Ebola patients and survivors, and to contain the disease 👉 europa.eu/!CcQ6md
