I am deeply honored and truly humbled to receive the Young Researcher Award of the @WHO Global #NCD Platform & @DefeatNCD, in 🤝 with @AllianceHPSR #WorldHealthSummit2022 @WHO @DrTedros @DrAxelrod_WHO @MikkelsenBente_ @georgeinstitute @UNSWMedicine

Next week world leaders will meet at #UNGA. @WHO’s highlight will be the High-Level Meeting on Noncommunicable Diseases and Mental Health on 25 September. Noncommunicable diseases include 7 of the world’s top 10 causes of death. In addition, almost 1 billion people face mental health conditions. Countries that act decisively to #BeatNCDs will save millions of lives, protect families, cut health costs, and unlock economic growth.

Expectations for researchers: 1️⃣ To be transparent about choices we make 2️⃣ To not be extractive - we are often trying to answer questions we have, not the learning needs of people 3️⃣ Research for people served 4️⃣ Transformation 📚➡️ academic.oup.com/heapol/arti… #HSR2024
