Proven actions can break the cycle, say experts @JosephEStiglitz @Winnie_Byanyima @FirstLadyNam3 @MichaelMarmot @HealthZA @GeorgetownGHPP @MMKavanagh @mailandguardian mg.co.za/partner-content/202…

Pleased to address the G20 High-Level Meeting “From Breakthrough to Access: Making #Lenacapavir Affordable for All” as part of the official G20 Health Ministers’ Meeting, co-hosted by @UNITAID & @HealthZA 🇿🇦. Lenacapavir is the closest thing to a vaccine against HIV we have ever had! #G20SouthAfrica

Honoured to address yesterday's @g20org Health Ministerial in Polokwane, South Africa. I congratulate 🇿🇦 for its remarkable #G20 presidency, guided by the theme “solidarity, equality, sustainability”. This theme resonates deeply with the global AIDS response, @UNAIDS, and the wider work of the United Nations. #G20SouthAfrica unaids.org/en/resources/pres…

🌳 We can’t end #HIV without tackling climate change. 🌍 We can’t protect the planet without protecting people. As #COP30 begins today, you can revisit our evidence brief that connects the dots between climate, HIV, and community-led solutions ⤵️ frontlineaids.org/resources/…

Big news in the fight against HIV! 🇿🇲 @ZambiaZamra has approved Lenacapavir, a 6-month injectable ARV for #HIVprevention. A game-changer for reducing new infections and advancing epidemic control! 👏🏿

Breaking: G20 Statement sets out actions to protect public health by fighting inequalities. Experts say the inequality-pandemic cycle can be broken. inequalitycouncil.org/g20-st…

If the #G20 is going to live up to its mission to tackle pressing global economic and financial issues, then it needs to significantly and urgently reduce inequality. 🔗 tinyurl.com/yac39wyy #G20SouthAfrica 🇿🇦

Today’s inequalities are not the result of the laws of nature, but the result of what we, as nations and the global community, have done. Inequality is a choice. It is not inevitable and can be reversed with political will. Honoured this week, as part of the G20 Extraordinary Committee of Independent Experts on Global Inequality — appointed by 🇿🇦 President @CyrilRamaphosa, and chaired by @JosephEStiglitz — to deliver our report to @PresidencyZA, along with @iValodia and Wanga Zembe-Mkabile, @Jayati1609, and @AAbdenur. 👇🏾 wid.world/document/g20-extra…
