Good to know this well in advance - we are looking at another full month, and then still may need to stay the course. Archive: Governor Andrew Cuomo

Women are at the front lines of the health and care response to #COVID19, but in the background of decision making. 🤳 Retweet if you want to see more women leaders in the global health sector.

Today is World Day for Safety & Health at Work #HealthWorkers are on the frontline of the #COVID19 response & exposed to hazards that put them at risk of infection. Risks incl: -Pathogen -Long working hours -Psychological distress -Fatigue -Occupational burnout -Stigma -Violence

Safety and health at work is easy to take for granted until something shatters our worldview. The Safety and Health of our personnel in all roles will inform the United Nations #COVID19 workplace safety strategy, whilst maintaining full business continuity through remote working.

My last meeting with the UN System mental health strategy program board. Leaving it in safe hands and hopeful for future landmark achievements. #mentalhealthmatters

Mental health problems are some of the greatest causes of misery in our world - often exacerbated by stigma & discrimination. As we recover from #COVID19, we must provide more mental health services to communities & ensure mental health is included in universal health coverage.

Today my amazing team at United Nations hosted a virtual farewell for me. They sent me flowers and cake by delivery, made a photo collage, gave speeches, and we spent almost an hour reminiscing. #TogetherApart. Team DHMOSH - I would have achieved nothing without you. It's been a privilege

Thanks PassBlue. If you are thinking of applying for my old job and still need to be persuaded.... listen to this.

In every society, diversity is a richness - never a threat. Racism is an abhorrence that we must all reject.

really pleased to have finally made it to @clinexcelqld. looking forward to working with Qld Clinical Senate and other partners in the months and years to come.

Moving on. This is my last post to this account, and I'll hand it over to the new UNMD once she/he is appointed. You can see me over at my new account @DDGCEQFarmer. It's been an awesome few years!
