TBI is a preventable condition. Good public health and prevention strategies are essential to reduce disease burden. High quality TBI care starts from here. @NeuroChirGlobal @ThinkFirstFndt #WHA78 #NotifyTBI #ChronicTBI

Next up, Nicoline Schiess from @WHO’s Brain Health Unit tells us about the huge global burden of neurological conditions, including TBI 1 in 3 people worldwide We must work collaboratively to achieve better neurological care. #WHA78 #NotifyTBI #ChronicTBI

Breaking silos at #WHA78! 👏 Dr @SaniaNishtar CEO at @gavi joins our efforts towards improving TBI care! We must work together to move the needle, collaborating in a multisectoral way! “In challenging times, we must move out of our silos” #WHA78 #NotifyTBI #ChronicTBI

We’re at #WHA78! We’re staring our side event with stories from people with lived experiences of TBI TBI is a global public health crisis, affecting people across the world. TBI should be recognised as a chronic and notifiable condition —> better data, better advocacy

“Most stories have endings, but this one does not” Paul Dubetz tells us of his own #livedexperience of suffering a severe TBI 15 years ago. TBI is not just an acute episode, it is also a chronic condition with long-lasting effects. This must be recognised! #WHA78 #notifyTBI

Fantastic panel at the @InciSioNGlobal #WHA78 side event on surgical equity! Key messages on #globalsurgery training needs: 1. We need to learn how to efficiently manage people & resources 2. We need to learn to talk nicely, so we minimise tensions & focus on what’s important

We are working as part of @TBICoalition towards achieving reporting of TBI cases. High quality data drives effective policies! Join us on 21/5 for our side event to find out more and join the discussion on #notifyTBI #chronicTBI #WHA78 @theG4Alliance
