It was an insightful session today at the World Economic Forum World Economic Forum as I joined other global leaders, including Anita Zaidi Anita Zaidi of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Catherine Russell Catherine Russell of UNICEF, and Bernd Montag Bernd Montag of Siemens Healthineers Siemens Healthineers, to discuss the critical importance of investing in women’s health. It also provided an opportunity to share Nigeria’s bold reforms and achievements of HE President Bola Ahmed, GCFR, Bola Ahmed Tinubu under the Health Sector Renewal Investment Initiative (#NHSRII). I highlighted the longstanding neglect of women’s health in global health policies, from reproductive and maternal health to non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Through NHSRII, we are implementing targeted reforms to address these gaps. This includes revitalizing thousands of primary healthcare centers NPHCDA, training over 53,000 frontline health workers, and introducing financial protection mechanisms to ensure women can access essential services, including antenatal and emergency obstetric care, without financial hardship. Our approach integrates innovation and insights from women themselves. For example, focus groups in northeastern Nigeria revealed cultural misconceptions that limit the use of maternal health services, underscoring the need for policies grounded in the lived realities of women. Additionally, we are leveraging Nigeria’s mixed health system by working with the private sector to localize the production of reproductive health commodities and expand economic opportunities for women through job creation in healthcare. We are also prioritizing women’s leadership in healthcare governance through initiatives like the National Health Fellows Program, ensuring women are at the forefront of shaping inclusive policies. These efforts are driven by our commitment to equity and reflect the broader Renewed Hope Agenda’s whole-of-society / whole -of-government approach to achieving better health outcomes for all Nigerians. I would like to acknowledge our moderator, Ms Fifi Peters Fifi Peters of CNBC Africa CNBC Africa, for facilitating such a vibrant and insightful session that allowed us to explore these critical issues with depth and purpose. Investing in women’s health is not just a health priority; it is essential for economic and social transformation. Through collaboration, shared accountability, and innovation, we can close the gaps and accelerate progress toward universal health coverage, leaving no woman behind.

Over the past 14 years, Bengal’s healthcare sector has undergone a historic transformation. Today, I had the privilege of inaugurating 110 fully-equipped Mobile Medical Units (MMUs) that will take advanced healthcare services to the remotest corners of our state. Each unit, staffed with doctors, nurses, and technicians, is a self-contained mobile clinic designed to deliver free diagnosis, consultation, and treatment right to people’s doorsteps. These MMUs mark yet another milestone in our Government’s journey to ensure “Health for All”. With 210 such units being rolled out, we are reaffirming our commitment to a Bengal where no one is denied medical care because of distance, poverty, or circumstance. Since 2011, our Maa-Mati-Manush Sarkar has redefined the meaning of public healthcare, introducing Swasthya Sathi, Swasthya Ingit, Chokher Alo, Shishu Sathi, Matri Ma, Madhur Sneha, and many more people-centric initiatives. From 14 new medical colleges and 42 super-speciality hospitals to over 13,500 su-swasthya kendras and free treatment facilities, Bengal’s healthcare network today touches millions of lives every single day. We have reduced infant and maternal mortality rates to record lows, expanded infrastructure, trained thousands of new nurses and doctors, and ensured that quality healthcare is a right, not a privilege. We remain firm in our resolve to continue serving every mother, every child, every family, and every citizen of Bengal with the same compassion and commitment that define our ‘of the people, by the people, and for the people’ philosophy. Joy Bangla!

ON THE OCCASION OF NORTH EAST GOVERNORS' VISIT TO PRESIDENT BOLA AHMED TINUBU Speaking while moderating the session during the North-East Governors’ visit to the President “You have given the North-East not just representation, but substantive ministries that speak directly to the issues bedeviling the region — agriculture, transport, police affairs, health, foreign affairs, and even the new livestock development ministry. These are critical portfolios that touch on our people’s daily lives, from food security to security of lives and property. Beyond that, you also appointed a Special Adviser in my person, showing the seriousness of your administration’s commitment to inclusive governance and to the peculiar challenges of the North-East. This blend of political will and institutional presence has reassured our people that their voices are heard at the highest level. Already, some of the reforms and initiatives under your Renewed Hope Agenda are yielding the desired results — from improved infrastructure and healthcare investments to ongoing agricultural interventions. The North-East is beginning to feel the impact of these policies, and this gives us the confidence to say the region is on a path of genuine renewal.”

It was a revealing experience for me during the visits, last week, to Gombe, Katsina, and Sokoto States, where we had the opportunity to witness firsthand the challenges and progress in Nigeria’s healthcare system. Meeting with the Governors and key stakeholders, we reinforced our commitment to maternal and child mortality reduction, hospital revitalization, and expanding access to essential health services. In Gombe State Government of Gombe State, I commended HE Governor Inuwa Yahaya’s Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya leadership in immunization and healthcare financing while highlighting how the $1 billion Project Hope Project HOPE will complement state-level investments, ensuring sustainable health outcomes at the grassroots. In Katsina State Katsina State Government, I underscored the urgency of tackling maternal mortality, where 15 local government areas contribute significantly to the national burden. Through the MNH-MaMII Initiative, NHIA NIGERIA, we aim to work with the state to ensure that every pregnant woman receives the care she needs. In Sokoto State Sokoto Government House, where maternal mortality stands at 977 per 100,000 live births, collaboration is key. With the Emergency Medical System #NEMSAS and ambulance scheme, expanded primary healthcare revitalization, and routine immunization efforts, we are ensuring that no woman or child is left behind. Across these visits, we reaffirmed our whole-of-government and whole-of-society approach, working in alignment with H.E. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Bola Ahmed Tinubu Nigeria Health Sector Renewal Investment Initiative (#NHSRII). I’d like to thank my colleagues from NPHCDA led by its Executive Director, Dr. Muyi Aina, Dr. Muyi Aina, our partner, Chris Elias Chris Elias, President, Global Development, Gates Foundation, Gates Foundation and other partner organizations for their support and collaboration. Together with state governments, development partners, and frontline health workers, we will continue to drive sustainable reforms, ensuring affordable, quality healthcare for all Nigerians. #NigeriaHealthRenewal #ProjectHope #MaternalHealth #PrimaryHealthcare #HealthForAll

Fellow Nigerians and friends from around the world, good day to you all. Trust deficits between the governed and those who govern have long shaped our national story. Overcoming this requires public administrators across all tiers and branches of government Government of Nigeria to embrace accountability and transparency in managing the commonwealth of our people. In line with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Bola Ahmed Tinubu Renewed Hope Agenda, we have begun the deliberate and necessary work of institutionalizing this approach in the Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare Federal Ministry of Health, NIGERIA and in the agencies under our oversight. I am pleased to inform Nigerians that our ministry and its parastatals have entered into a multi-year pact with the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission ICPC to monitor, track, and audit expenditures involved in the nationwide overhaul of health infrastructure across all local government areas of the federation. In the medical profession, prevention is better than cure. This principle applies equally to our new approach to addressing official corruption and financial misconduct in the health sector. The primary objective of this pact with the ICPC is to institute preventive and corrective anti-corruption mechanisms, with particular emphasis on close surveillance of health parastatals and funding pathways under the Basic Healthcare Provision Fund Basic Health Care Provision Fund, which serves as a federal conduit to subnational entities responsible for the judicious use of resources. As part of this partnership, state and local governments will be integrated into strengthened accountability processes to ensure standardized anti-corruption measures nationwide. More specifically, the ICPC is mandated to report on the status of projects identified by the National Primary Healthcare Development Agency NPHCDA as a prerequisite for final certification of project completion. In real time, the ICPC will provide stage-by-stage monitoring of primary healthcare revitalization projects across all implementing states and local government areas to ensure value for money. Additionally, our pact with the ICPC introduces a new certification process for anti-corruption training and capacity-building initiatives to support health sector staff in preventing and addressing corrupt practices within their mandates. While these historic steps offer a sustainable template for fiscal prudence in the sector, we are simultaneously advancing a multi-dimensional strategy to confront the threat corruption poses to the health of every Nigerian. We recognize the critical role of our youth in driving reforms at the community level. This recognition led to the recruitment and deployment of hundreds of Performance and Financial Management Officers (#PFMOs) across all local government areas to continuously assess primary health centre rehabilitation and operational performance. This initiative complements President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s commissioning of the National Health Fellows—774 young leaders from every local government area—selected through a rigorous process and prepared to sustain the new anti-corruption procedures aligned with their technical and administrative responsibilities. This fight against long-standing development inhibitors in the health sector is essential not only for improving the lives of Nigerians but also for enhancing donor confidence, with direct implications for non-governmental and multilateral financial support for key health interventions for our nation. This is our time to reclaim the nation we love, to reject what has held us back, and to affirm a new social contract grounded in integrity, renewed trust, and renewed hope. Thank you, and God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Today, at Redeemer’s University Redeemer's University, Ede, Osun State, I was glad to commission the new Institute of Genomics and Global Health, marking a significant evolution from ACEGID’s @acegid status as a center of excellence. This moment is not only a proud achievement for all those involved, but it also stands as a powerful symbol of what African scientific leadership can achieve on the global stage. Under the visionary leadership of Prof Christian Happi Christian T. Happi, the team at ACEGID has made extraordinary strides in genomic research, particularly in addressing some of the most pressing infectious disease challenges of our time. The inauguration of the Institute reminds us that the work being done by the ACEGID team is a global public good, benefiting not only Nigeria and Africa but also contributing to global health security. The partnerships fostered between institutions and scientists from the Global North and South are a testament to our shared commitment to protecting and advancing human health. This collaboration has demonstrated what is possible when we work together to confront challenges that affect us all. Under the visionary leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Bola Ahmed Tinubu health security remains a central pillar of our broader strategy to transform Nigeria’s health system, unlock the value chain, and improve population health outcomes. This is why supporting cutting-edge scientific research, like the work at this Institute, is essential. We need to create a health system environment with strong public health capabilities to withstand the potential and evolving threats posed by infectious diseases and the ongoing impacts of climate change. The pace at which new health threats are emerging is accelerating, and with it, the need for robust scientific responses. The innovations in genomics we are witnessing at ACEGID provide a glimmer of hope, offering us the tools we need to be better prepared for what may come. The Federal Government of Nigeria Government of Nigeria is fully committed to supporting these efforts, knowing that science must lead the way in securing a healthier future for all.

BREAKING: Five minors collapsed in court today due to malnutrition. Some of them face treason charges for participating in the #EndBadGovernanceProtest. HOPE BEHIND BARS AFRICA (Criminal Justice Reforms), while observing these cases, witnessed the distressing state of these minors, who were brought in from the Intelligence Response Team (IRT) for their hearing. The conditions surrounding our custodial system are dire, with severe issues such as overcrowding, inadequate healthcare, and insufficient support for detainees. Today’s incident marks a severe breach of fundamental human rights, particularly for these minors, whose Rights During Detention are intended to be safeguarded by law. The Child Rights Act mandates humane treatment for children in custody, including rights to legal representation, adequate nutrition, and mental health support as they await trial. Similarly, the Children and Young Persons Act prioritizes the welfare of minors, guiding their treatment and establishing juvenile courts to address their specific needs. We condemn the neglect faced by these minors and call for immediate medical attention for them. We urgently advocate for a criminal justice system that upholds the dignity of all inmates, especially the most vulnerable.

In a touching gesture that captured hearts across the West Midlands, Prince William made an unexpected visit to St Michael’s Church of England High School, prompted by a heartfelt and positive letter from 12-year-old student Freddie Hadley ✉️🙂 The young pupil had reached out to the Prince last October, inviting him to witness the school’s innovative mental health initiatives, particularly the Matrix Project, which focuses on supporting male mental health. Unable to attend at the time, Prince William responded warmly on social media, commending Freddie’s efforts and promising to follow the school’s work. This exchange set the stage for a remarkable moment of royal engagement that would leave a lasting impact on the school and its community. On a crisp April day in 2024, Prince William fulfilled his promise with a surprise visit that sent waves of excitement through St Michael’s. The school, unprepared for the royal arrival, buzzed with anticipation as students and staff welcomed the Prince. His visit was not merely ceremonial; it was a genuine opportunity to engage with the student-led initiatives that had caught his attention. The Matrix Project, designed to foster open conversations about mental health among young males, particularly impressed the Prince, who has long championed mental health advocacy through his own charitable endeavors. The visit highlighted the school’s commitment to creating a supportive environment, a mission already recognised with a gold standard award for mental health in schools. During his time at St Michael’s, The Prince of Wales’s connected with students, including Freddie, in meaningful discussions about the challenges young people face and the importance of addressing mental health stigma. He shared insights from his work, drawing parallels between the school’s efforts and broader societal issues, from homelessness to addiction, all of which intersect with mental wellbeing. The Prince’s approachable demeanor shone through as he listened attentively, offering encouragement and praise for the students’ leadership. His presence validated their work, reinforcing the power of youth voices in driving change and inspiring others to take mental health seriously. The visit wasn’t without its lighter moments, showcasing Prince William’s relatable charm. He joined the school’s radio show, where he gamely shared a classic “dad joke,” sparking laughter and easing the atmosphere. These moments of levity underscored his ability to connect with people on a human level, bridging the gap between royalty and everyday life. For Freddie and his peers, the Prince’s participation was a memorable highlight, blending serious advocacy with warmth and humor. The school community, from students to staff, was left in awe, with the headteacher describing the experience as “absolutely jaw-dropping.” The ripple effects of Prince William’s visit extended far beyond the school’s walls. Freddie’s bold initiative and the royal endorsement that followed put St Michael’s on the map as a leader in mental health advocacy within education. The event underscored the profound impact of grassroots efforts and the potential for young people to influence societal change. For the community, the visit was a powerful reminder of the human side of royalty, as Prince William’s response to a single letter amplified a school’s mission and inspired others to prioritise mental health. St Michael’s Church of England High School now stands as a beacon, its story a testament to the enduring power of connection, courage, and compassion ✉️🙂 #PrinceWilliam

Freddie’s bold initiative and the royal endorsement that followed put St Michael’s on the map as a leader in mental health advocacy within education. The event underscored the profound impact of grassroots efforts and the potential for young people to influence societal change. For the community, the visit was a powerful reminder of the human side of royalty, as Prince William’s response to a single letter amplified a school’s mission and inspired others to prioritise mental health. St Michael’s Church of England High School now stands as a beacon, its story a testament to the enduring power of connection, courage, and compassion ✉️🙂 #PrinceWilliam

Section 27 of the South African Constitution is unambiguous. It clearly says healthcare is a right for everyone in the country, regardless of nationality, and that no one may be refused emergency medical treatment. That right extends beyond emergencies, covering access to public hospitals and clinics for foreign nationals who are legally in the country. It is not proper to have mobs in controlled environments like hospitals, because doctors and nurses end up in fear of these mobs. Ordering them to deny people hospital treatment is asking them to violate their professional oaths. Nobody supports illegal immigration, but you cannot stop people who are in South Africa legally from accessing hospitals; your law says they can access them. If you do not want them to use these facilities, change the law instead of taking the law into your own hands. It is unthinkable that, in a civilised society, a random person wearing a political party T-shirt would order doctors to remove people from hospital beds. Embarrassing stuff to watch! It is unlawful to deny anyone emergency medical care, and to forcibly remove them from a facility is assault and possibly attempted murder. We all know that excluding sick people from treatment increases the risk of massive disease outbreaks, which do not respect borders or immigration status. This harms everyone, including South African citizens. Public health depends on treating everyone who needs care, because untreated illness spreads, harming all. I want to emphasise that it is the conduct of a lawless state to deny a legal resident access to treatment at a public health institution. If Gayton McKenzie’s PA does not want foreign nationals who are in South Africa legally, he must push to change the law in Parliament instead of gaslighting people, some of whom do not even know what the law says and might end up in trouble. Only opportunistic politicians would do that; no sane person would use violent mob tactics to address something that is constitutional and has not been challenged in the South African parliament. We all know that denying legal residents healthcare is not just unlawful, it is a direct attack on the Constitution; and when mob rule replaces the rule of law, everyone’s rights are in danger. Who knows what they demand next?

We are still undervalued by infinity. For example, why is Sekoia at 20x market cap when our DAO has a lot more funds than them, and our capacity to help new projects is higher? We also have private knowledge that their only developer likes cats. What did he develop until now? Not an #AIagent but a Telegram bot with 400 lines of code that answers 5 questions and saves the answers for the developer to read later: We wouldn't invest in Sekoia ourselves. These are all their holdings, worth less than our DAO has funds: Of course, they wouldn't know how to invest appropriately in a space where you need a lot of technical knowledge to make the right decisions. Yes, I realize we didn't have their marketing and shill support. We also didn't have the fancy name and its VC-like allure + the retweets from Virtuals Protocol whose team probably invested beforehand. That's also because our core team doesn't even use Twitter in their personal lives. It was a learning curve. But we can help new AI or crypto projects by selling them access to our private versions of rig/arc and ai16zdao frameworks), by having our community and our DAO snipe their token at launch and not sell, by selling them monthly access to our knowledge API (specifically formatted and delivered in an optimal way for AI agents), by manually purchasing a share of their tokens since we can actually afford it unlike most other "AI agent #investment funds" (there's tens of these popping up every day, they won't make it), by helping them use code that we've already open-sourced, etc. These are not just hopes and dreams, like most other #crypto projects are peddling. We can do all of this right now. Our team can also #invest personally. Batata and Nebu collectively own more stablecoins and $ETH than 3x our current market cap. This is one of the few #AI projects where we can set and forget buy walls at specific $PAWSY prices, and it'll never go below it. We have already done it. We don't care. We'll do it again. We remind new pack members to stake, as income rounds are not preannounced, and you'll need to have staked at least 5 days beforehand to be on the recipients' list. Why try to trade and flip many different projects (which is a job, you're self-employed) when you already found the winner? Our devs' sole purpose is to create passive income for stakers, surpass Luna's market cap, and then make fun of her on Twitter. We also aim to make those in the 500k and higher $PAWSY clubs financially independent. That's all; that's why many came into crypto. At some point, you need to choose a winner and go with it.

The SS/NFA reimbursements have been allocated. Check your assets here: Continue reading to not miss the claim. DISCLAIMER: You won’t have to spend a single dollar to receive your assets. No need to buy anything, no obligation to participate in our investments or launchpad. The only requirement is that you are active in our Discord. That's all. And even there you don’t have to participate in our airdrop campaign, nor have to promote us on Twitter. Please don’t feel compelled to do anything more but explore what vVv is about, and then decide whether we’re worth your TIME (not money). In our server you will find alpha channels, trading forums, deep research on seed investments, free access to IDOs, heaps of educational content around finance, business, health... and much more. Important —— regarding “educational content”: It always sounds esoteric but the reality is that this exact content would have prevented many of you from falling for SS or NFA. I highly recommend you to dive into the resources we have, because they are genuinely priceless. HOW TO CLAIM: Once the new vVv platform is live (soon) you will be able to log in, see your assets, and manage everything from there. In the meantime you can already use the full utility of your new NFTs in our server. To protect our current holders and the value of the vVv NFTs as a whole, all your assets will be staked for a duration of time (TBA). Why not instantly send the assets to everyone? Anyone who potentially only has the intention to dump their NFTs has to be filtered out. Otherwise we fail to serve the people who have trusted us for the past years and spent a lot of money to buy their vVv NFTs. I’m sure many of you will appreciate the weight and importance of that statement. We all want the price of what we own to be retained or to go up —— and this is a healthy way to approach this. The majority of SS victims had their assets staked for multiple years, so receiving something of greater value and utility with a shorter unstaking duration hopefully sounds like a good arrangement. WELCOME TO VVV Verifying all losses on chain, going through the submissions of hundreds of people, allocating the assets fairly, that took us a lot of manpower —— which is all tied to working hours & costs. But we see the value of you as community members. That’s why we went through this struggle together with you. We greatly appreciate the time you put into filling the form and submitting information, and we now finally welcome you officially to vVv and hope you decide to stay as active members! Please stay tuned for the next announcements in Discord which will provide a better overview of what we do and who we are. There’s exciting news on the horizon and as a reminder: each vVv NFT comes with an airdrop of $VVV. GFM (good fkn morning!)

What is my view on Trump’s executive order pulling America out of the World Health Organisation? President Donald Trump also signed an executive order temporarily suspending all American foreign assistance programs for 90 days, pending reviews to determine whether they align with his policy goals. America provides an average of US$50 billion annually to foreign aid programmes. This means there will NOT be any new financial aid coming from America to anywhere in the world for the next three months, but in this post, I will focus on America’s withdrawal from the WHO, and will talk about about the global impact of the temporary AID ban in days to come when there is enough clarity on the effect of the ban. America is the biggest economy in the world, or possibly the second largest after China, so its contribution to the WHO, though significant, is not irreplaceable. Its contribution amounts to an average of US$120 million annually in the past ten years. That equates to roughly 1.3 tonnes of gold, a resource that Africa has in abundance. Trump’s decision does not prevent other countries from stepping in to fill the gap left by America’s withdrawal. It is not as though the US was solving a problem no other nation could address. From Africa to Europe to Asia and the Americas, others are capable of taking responsibility too and fill in the void left by America. The real danger, however, lies in the possibility that irresponsible and corrupt leaders may fail to step up and address and fund critical issues, such as the fight against HIV and AIDS. If such leadership fails, the world—including America—could face a resurgence of new infections like HIV, undoing years of progress. This would be a massive tragedy for America as well, it won’t be able to insulate itself from resurgent infections short of sealing its borders which it can’t. In today’s highly mobile world, it is impossible to isolate one country from the consequences of a global health crisis. HIV has been controlled through antiretroviral medication, which prevents HIV carriers from infecting others. If access to these medications is disrupted, everyone, including Americans, would be at risk. This could even force the US to return to old practices such as requiring HIV status disclosure before issuing visas to enter and live in America. This can’t be done with short term tourist and business visas, so even those coming in for a short period for a conference or meeting could carry the virus after unknowingly getting infected in many ways, and they can infect someone in America during their short stay. Africa’s annual antiretroviral medication bill is around US$2.8 billion, it is funded partly by America and other countries and agencies who might rethink their participation in the WHO too, there are many global leaders who emulate Trump like Argentina's Javier Gerardo Milei, Italy's Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, and Hungary's Viktor Orbán. If leaders like Argentina’s Javier Milei, Italy’s Giorgia Meloni, and Hungary’s Viktor Orbán follow Trump’s lead and withdraw from the WHO, this would be a serious blow to global health efforts. However, if the US$2.8 billion antiretroviral bill for Africa is divided across 54 African countries, this amounts to only US$51.8 million per country annually—equivalent to approximately 595 kilograms of gold per nation. Unfortunately, Africa is riddled by corrupt and heartless leaders who rob and loot from their people and seek medical assistance outside the continent using taxpayers money. While it is logically possible for African nations to fund their own HIV treatment programmes and infectious diseases control, these leaders’ greed often leaves their populations to suffer needlessly. Another downside of America’s withdrawal is the loss of its technical medical expertise. As the executive order for withdrawal from the WHO outlines, American personnel working with the WHO will be withdrawn within 12 months from today. The US is a global leader in science and technology, and the loss of its knowledge and contributions will be felt worldwide especially by the poor in the Global South. This situation could, however, provide an opportunity for countries like China to step into the leadership vacuum left by America. Nature doesn’t like a vacuum, but Africa, lacking the required technological expertise and plagued by poor governance, is unlikely to fill this gap although it can and should fill it. It is easier for Africa’s middle class to applaud Donald Trump for this move, but it is the poor, who have no voice, who will suffer the most because they lack the means and ability to remove corrupt governments. One child was dying every fifteen minutes from HIV and AIDS in Zimbabwe only 15 years ago until the world intervened. This could become the reality once again unless Africans take action to force their governments to act responsibly for once! So while Trump’s withdrawal from the WHO poses challenges, it also highlights the need for Africa to reassess its priorities and build resilient healthcare systems. Addressing corruption and poor governance is vital and an urgent matter for Africa, but this must be coupled with actionable solutions such as regional health funds, stricter accountability for public health spending, and partnerships with international organisations that prioritise transparency. Countries like Botswana, with its effective HIV programmes, demonstrate that progress is possible even in resource limited circumstances if a country has the right leadership, but for that to happen, you need a different type of mindset and less corruption on the continent. Collaboration between governments, private sector, and civil society can also ensure that health crises like HIV/AIDS are addressed sustainably, and by taking responsibility for their own health systems, African nations can reduce their heavy reliance on external aid and ensure better healthcare outcomes for their populations. America First as a doctrine provides a generational opportunity to lessen America’s global influence and create multilateral platforms where world leaders can genuinely provide solutions for their people! This is an opportunity for groups like BRICS to step up and plug the funding deficit, otherwise, failure to do so will expose them as nothing more than paper tigers that rely on American financial benevolence while bellowing empty slogans! So ultimately, the issue is no longer about America’s withdrawal, it is about the world’s willingness to take full responsibility, with each country prioritising the national interest of saving lives before the looting of public funds. The world has enough to go around, what it only lacks are empathetic leaders who put the health of their people ahead of their personal pockets. Trump will be a four-year global phenomenon, so the world must make a plan instead of mourning about what many in the global health fraternity have labelled a reckless and populist decision that, in the long term, won’t benefit America much! Those who support America’s withdrawal from the WHO should note that it is not just about money, but also about American medical expertise, technology transfer from the US, providing global leadership during pandemics, and having a united world when tackling healthcare disasters like COVID-19, HIV/AIDS, and Ebola. Lastly, if poor African countries run by greedy, corrupt dictators end up with shortages of antiretroviral medicines, countries like South Africa, Namibia, and Botswana, which have well-run programmes, would end up carrying the burden of cross-border health tourism. Trump’s shakeup requires leadership interventions like never required before, are African leaders ready to provide that leadership?

Collaboration between governments, private sector, and civil society can also ensure that health crises like HIV/AIDS are addressed sustainably, and by taking responsibility for their own health systems, African nations can reduce their heavy reliance on external aid and ensure better healthcare outcomes for their populations. America First as a doctrine provides a generational opportunity to lessen America’s global influence and create multilateral platforms where world leaders can genuinely provide solutions for their people! This is an opportunity for groups like BRICS to step up and plug the funding deficit, otherwise, failure to do so will expose them as nothing more than paper tigers that rely on American financial benevolence while bellowing empty slogans! So ultimately, the issue is no longer about America’s withdrawal, it is about the world’s willingness to take full responsibility, with each country prioritising the national interest of saving lives before the looting of public funds. The world has enough to go around, what it only lacks are empathetic leaders who put the health of their people ahead of their personal pockets. Trump will be a four-year global phenomenon, so the world must make a plan instead of mourning about what many in the global health fraternity have labelled a reckless and populist decision that, in the long term, won’t benefit America much! Those who support America’s withdrawal from the WHO should note that it is not just about money, but also about American medical expertise, technology transfer from the US, providing global leadership during pandemics, and having a united world when tackling healthcare disasters like COVID-19, HIV/AIDS, and Ebola. Lastly, if poor African countries run by greedy, corrupt dictators end up with shortages of antiretroviral medicines, countries like South Africa, Namibia, and Botswana, which have well-run programmes, would end up carrying the burden of cross-border health tourism. Trump’s shakeup requires leadership interventions like never required before, are African leaders ready to provide that leadership?

(Did I mention $1,000 in Codex credits? It's time to build!) Get all access: Why All Access and the Builder Pack This is the best time in history to build something. For a long time, it’s been possible to one-shot impressive demos, but they’d fall flat the minute they hit production. But the release of GPT-5.6-Sol and Fable 5 heralds a new era: Everyone can build, launch, and maintain the software that they’ve always dreamed of. Everyone is a builder now. There’s just one catch: Building with AI is very expensive. (Ask me how I know.) (Alright, I’ll tell you. I accidentally used 2 billion tokens overnight this week on a big GPT-5.6-Sol run. Worth it.) This is unique in the history of technology. For most of the personal computing era, a billionaire and a solo builder could buy essentially the same top-of-the-line Mac.

“In the 15th century, Asia was the most technologically developed region. Europe had advanced only in a few sectors, including gunpowder, cannons, & ocean-going ships. These three technologies helped Europe to conquer the rest of the world. The conquest of Asia & Africa set back the development of science & technology in our countries, creating the technological divide of today. Another quantum leap in technology & innovation is taking place in the 21st century at a geometric rate, further widening the existing technological divide & leading to the marginalisation of the South. Two key factors are essential for developing nations to come out of this crisis. The first is digitalisation & adopting new technologies such as Big Data, Internet of Things, AI, Blockchain, biotechnology, & genome sequencing. The second is ensuring a workforce skilled in the multifaceted fields of science & technology. A well-equipped & knowledgeable workforce is necessary to accelerate the needed transformation. Let me outline the measures my government is taking. A continuing economic restructuring process after the financial crisis of 2022 allows us to harness the potential of science, technology, & innovation for our future trajectory of sustainable development & high growth. We are currently evaluating the performance of our existing science & technology research institutes, some of which are underperforming. To promote utilising new technologies for Sri Lanka's growth, the government will establish a Technology & Innovation Council & a digital transformation agency. Our universities currently do not have the capacity to create the requisite number of technology specialists. Therefore, we will establish four new universities focusing on new technologies. One of these is the outcome of technological cooperation between India & Sri Lanka. The International Climate Change University will be the fifth. The digital divide presents significant challenges to the development of the global south. These include limited access to costly technology, inadequate digital skills & infrastructure, cultural & institutional barriers, & financing constraints. Global trade barriers further compound these issues. To overcome these challenges, the G77 & China must establish an effective mechanism for cooperation. Otherwise, our endeavours will be limited to immediately reinvigorating the consortium of science & technology & innovation for the South, commonly known as COSTIS. This will be a test of our commitment. A revised Programme of Action with other proposed new measures is required. These measures should include collectively creating technological platforms modelled on the European Union's technology & innovation platforms in the following fields: digitalisation, health medication, AI, & renewable energy, including green hydrogen. Secondly, interested G77 countries must commit to earmarking 1% of their GDP for R&D. This has to be achieved over a decade. Thirdly, we must foster collaboration between governments and the private sector. The brain drain from the South to the North & the resulting loss of educated manpower is another threat to the development of science, technology, & innovation in the South. China, India, Japan, & South Korea have developed science, technology, & innovation by nurturing their own manpower. Therefore, we must ask for compensation from the North for the loss of our manpower. Strengthening South-South cooperation can also play a significant role in addressing the critical issues of expanding our human resources. Sri Lanka urges the Group of 77 & China to work together to introduce a scheme similar to the Colombo Plan to increase collaboration, exchange best practices, & push policies that harness the transformational potential of science, technology, & innovation amongst us. Sri Lanka is committed to supporting the new Hawana Declaration. We must ensure that the collective voice of G77 & China is heard in international fora.”
