KC Morse, a young woman living with sickle cell disease, provided an important reminder during last week’s health equity panel discussion that the scales have not traditionally been balanced when it comes to healthcare for African Americans. This serves as a crucial reminder that we don’t always know the journey people are on when we come in contact with them. #healthequity

Accurate demographic and social determinants of health data collection is fundamental for identifying top disparities in patient populations and implementing interventions to reduce them. With comprehensive data management, organizations can promote better health outcomes for all. Take a look at Strive Health’s recent white paper on strengthening data foundations as an essential tool to reach equitable kidney care. #healthequity #sdoh #wholepersoncare
Chronic kidney disease disproportionately affects people from racial and ethnic minority groups and underserved populations. Despite growing awareness of this, one of the most significant barriers to reducing health disparities is data. Learn how organizations are using data to identify and address health inequities in our white paper: https://lnkd.in/g2vbJHjt.

"Three of the top five Human Development Index variables most accurately predicting total AMR gene abundance relate to access to sanitation services. Correlation between the country-level antibiotic usage and total AMR gene abundance was not observed, suggesting a greater relative importance of non-antibiotic-use factors in driving the presence of AMR genes in sewage." Proactive, preventative and enduring WASH solutions take more capital and resources, and yet #AMRmitigation is one of the most important, high-yield investments countries can make. Otherwise, the impacts of AMR will be devastating for the global economy and for development. Great read.
