Myanmar’s public health system has broken down. [...] It’s not surprising that malaria has reemerged. It’s not surprising that childhood vaccine preventable diseases are surging. This is what happens when a military is at war with its civilian population.” thinkglobalhealth.org/article/antibi…

Over-performing, but under-utilized ‼️ Dr. Tom Frieden AND Think Global Health's Chen Chen call out the return on investment of professionalizing community health workers #CHWs thinkglobalhealth.org/article/future…
