Kia ora, 🇳🇿! It was a privilege to stop by @AucklandUni and engage with partners and health experts on my vision and priorities for the Region. I'm keen to work closely with regional partners, drawing on their expertise to deliver better health outcomes for all communities.

Comment in The Lancet from myself & Co-Chair Dr Abdullah Assiri on the adoption by 196 countries of amendments to the International Health Regulations (2005). Doesn’t compromise sovereignty; does make the world safer & fairer. A win for multilateralism. thelancet.com/journals/lance…

The updated International Health Regulations: good news for global health equity

I agree @Richard56, I enjoyed this book; its message of ‘realistic optimism’ inspires action not complacency. Excellent TLDR summary by you that I encourage everyone to read. Like you I passed it on to my (Gen Z) son. Plan to buy a few copies to give away to ‘read & pass on’

Genuinely surprised and disappointed to read this. Fluoridation is important for the dental health of tamariki, especially disadvantaged kids. And I had hoped Wellington Water had learnt from its earlier episode that it should keep people informed. thepost.co.nz/nz-news/350192…

Although research is ongoing, long Covid remains a serious—and potentially debilitating—risk of infection. Not only is vaccination crucial to prevent severe Covid, but it also reduces the likelihood of developing lasting health problems. bmj.com/content/383/bmj-2023…

"12 graphs that show New Zealand isn't doing as badly as you think": my latest for @TheSpinoffTV about progress on tackling emissions, child poverty, smoking, etc. In which I argue that the current national mood of enveloping gloom may not be justified. thespinoff.co.nz/society/20-…

Great to join everyone celebrating this morning’s opening of the first section of Tupua Horo Nuku at Mā Koromiko. Walkers, dogs, and those on scooters, roller skates, trolleys & bikes now have a safe route, plus increased resilience for the road. Huge thanks to all involved #HCC
