"There's an opportunity to really push on domestic resource mobilization so that African governments can actually determine how those resources are spent." Speaking at the Africa Health Agenda International Conference (AHAIC), our President and CEO Mary-Ann Etiebet, MD, MBA highlighted the importance of robust tax policies in building resilient health systems across Africa. There is a solution that has been tested at scale: By increasing the price of tobacco, alcohol and sugary beverages by 50%, we can save 50 million lives globally over 50 years.

The true cost of alcohol and tobacco extends way beyond its price tag at the bar: it also includes lives lost to disease, a strained healthcare system and economic losses from workers who die prematurely or become too sick to work. Taxing these products can recoup some of these societal costs. Read the op-ed from our partner Action For Economic Reforms (AER) here ?? https://lnkd.in/e38zV4Ta

At the Transforming Transportation #TTDC25 conference, Vital Strategies' Elizaveta Zeynalova shared the importance of social behavioral research when shaping interventions to prevent road crashes, injuries and deaths. We worked with local academic institutions in Colombia, Argentina and Vietnam to gather insights from motorcyclists. Motorcycle ridership has increased, leading to a rise in road deaths and injuries among riders. Understanding motorcyclists' knowledge, attitudes and beliefs is critical to developing solutions that save lives. Integrating these studies into public health can help ensure a reduction in motorcycle-related injuries and fatalities globally.

Data is critical to tackling gender-based violence. ???? In Nigeria, Dr. Sam KESHINRO, police pathologist, hosted a widely attended symposium to raise awareness on femicide, following a recent training of 150 police officers on a new data collection form to track femicide, in collaboration with the Bloomberg Philanthropies #Data4Health Initiative. With accurate data on deaths caused by gender-based violence, policymakers can build the most effective interventions to tackle #GBV and save lives. Thanks to The Nation Nigeria, The Sun Nigeria, Vanguard Media Limited, Trust TV, and more for covering this important work.
