In celebration of #WorldEBHCDay, we visited Bali District Hospital for a workshop with health workers. We discussed making guidelines computable, explored the global healthcare landscape, and examined how crises are shaping the future of health delivery. World EBHC Day JBI

This workshop gave us the chance to engage with health workers, understand the challenges they face, and explore ways we can support them in their essential work. Just as this year's team suggests, we are moving from evidence to action. #WorldEBHCDay Cochrane Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance

We are proud to be part of this South-South collaboration. We strongly believe that the future of #AfricanEducation lies in mastering foundational literacy and numeracy skills for both teachers and learners, which, while gradually improving, still require significant attention.
