In 2021, I was a recipient of late President @MBuhari's trust and confidence when he appointed me the @NCDCgov Director-General (general opinion at the time was that it was a good decision). I offer my condolence to his family, loved ones, friends, associates and all those left…

In places around the world, conflict is raging, international law is being trampled, and hunger and displacement are at record levels. Yet, peace is a choice. “We need to renew our commitment to the multilateral spirit of peace through diplomacy,” urges @antonioguterres.

The #InHERLifetime report by @WRA_K and @FINDdx, many women define health as “not being sick.” That’s it. But would you blame them? That's how society has conditioned us to believe. But women want and need more in order to live, #healthy, #sustainable lives! #WhatWomenWant

🔑 Key message: AI can transform health — but it will only drive equity if we intentionally design it that way. Ethics, inclusion, governance, training & investment aren’t optional — they’re essential. These were the conclusions of Friday's session on using #AI to drive #equity…
And where do we begin answering those questions? @FINDdx and @OIFrancophonie hosted a 3-day event on governance in #AI, beginning with a session on "Using AI to drive #equity in health" on Friday 04 July. For the content of this event: bit.ly/AIhealthevent
