🆕 Ya está aquí el consenso ADA/EASD 2026 sobre manejo de la diabetes tipo 2 ( regalo de Navidad adelantado 😂)
@AmDiabetesAssn @EASDnews
Pasamos de tratar la glucosa a tratar la enfermedad y sus comorbilidades.
iSGLT2 y/o GLP-1 desde el diagnóstico, con o sin metformina. Combinación precoz si ECV, ERC o IC.
Sin perder el foco en el estilo de vida! 🍎

“Aftershocks” chronicles a year and months of trauma endured by the public health community and aftershocks that have reverberated around the world affecting all our lives.
For an article published today in @pozmagazine’s new issue, I was asked why I wrote “Aftershocks: Trump 2.0, Public Health, and Our Better Angels” and what I propose as a forward-looking public health blueprint to rebuild back better. Read my answers: poz.com/article/better-angel…
At Fast-Track Health we are committed to do our part to accelerate solutions at the intersection of climate and health. Tomorrow our President/CEO @JoseM_Zuniga will speak to a new partnership focused on improving city-level climate intelligence. #UNGA81
I am speaking at tomorrow’s @HIExinno, Geovitas, and @FT_HealthX #UNGA81 side event, “Climate Intelligence for Healthier Cities.” We encourage @FastTrackCities stakeholders attending UNGA to join us: eventbrite.ch/e/climate-inte…

In my latest @FT_HealthX blog post, I reflect on a recent @richardhorton1 essay in @TheLancet warning that global health reformers may be constructing an elaborate new order on paper while mistaking its coherence for reality. Read my post: fthealth.org/why-global-heal…
The lesson from #Ebola is that preparedness must happen between emergencies, not only during them. Uganda has shown an effective response. Now we must build on that experience to ensure we are much better prepared for future outbreaks.
I congratulate #Uganda’s government, and all involved in the response, for passing the 42 day monitoring period with no cases of #Ebola.
With a focus on preparedness, increased surveillance to find potential cases in health facilities and communities, and careful management of points of entry, countries can keep people and goods moving while ensuring people stay safe, or receive care if they are sick.
As proud co-hosts of this year’s Continuum 2026 conference, we are glad to see the oral abstracts published and available open access. Bravo, @IAPAC.

We are committed to forging ahead in our support of cities and countries as they face unprecedented challenges, relying on the resilience that has come to define the HIV community over decades.
My latest @IAPAC blog post is about what #AIDS2026 must represent for the global #HIV response. The urgency of now has never been more present for our community to defend what we have and work on building back better. iapac.org/2026/07/28/aids-20…
Today we announced a new climate-resilient urban health partnership with Geovitas, a technology-led company with climate solutions. Read more: fthealth.org/climate-resilie…
On #WorldHepatitisDay2026, we urge #HCV screening and treatment scale up to achieve @WHO elimination targets. The pace has been too slow and too many people are needlessly progressing to advanced liver disease and dying. Let’s take collective action.
Silos in public health slow progress when our biggest challenges demand collaboration. Silos also are
a luxury we can no longer afford in a world where collaboration is a prerequisite for impact.
I spent the afternoon perusing the abstracts submitted for the global @FastTrackCities 2026 conference and am rightly impressed by both the quality (again this year) and breadth of the submissions. Happy to see an embrace of an integrated approach to urban health.
In an inaugural editorial in the new Journal of Fast-Track Health, Dr. @JoseM_Zuniga lays out a vision for an open access journal that is charging no APCs for 2 years. Read his editorial: mdpi.com/3043-0844/1/1/1
Proud of our President/CEO for his courage to author a timely examination of the many impacts on public health directly link to US federal policy shifts and budget cuts. #PublicHealth
Happy to announce my new book, “Aftershocks: Trump 2.0, Public Health, and Our Better Angels,” about which I had a conversation today at @IAPAC’s Continuum 2026 conference in San Juan, PR. Available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

A newly reported #Marburg virus outbreak in Uganda is a reminder that global health security depends on strong surveillance, rapid detection, transparent reporting, and sustained investment in public health systems. statnews.com/2026/06/30/marb…
Extreme heat is more than just uncomfortable; it is one of the deadliest consequences of climate change. Heat is a public health issue we must address to save lives. #ClimateChange
⚠️ The rate of heat-related deaths has gone up 23% since the 1990s.
Heat-related illness is actually preventable with the right protections in place.
Everyone should have access to:
🌳 Cooling area
💧 Drinking water
⏸ Breaks from the heat
Prevention is everyone's responsibility.

Worth emphasizing that this statistic is beyond acceptable; it is an abrogation of our collective responsibility to the most vulnerable in our society.

We encourage all Fast-Track Cities to submit abstracts to global @FastTrackCities 2026 conference in Berlin. Learn more: iapac.org/conferences/fast-t…
The purse should never have been tightened. How much time has been squandered on @NIH priorities awaiting this corrective White House action?
Biomedical researchers breathed a collective sigh of relief after the White House loosened the purse strings that had hindered the U.S. National Institutes of Health from spending its 2026 budget on research grants. scim.ag/4uA29EX

Proud to have been part of an engaging closing session at @HealthHIV’s #SYNC2026. Our focus was synchronous advocacy in the face of current US federal challenges to #HIV and syndemic responses. My input: lead with courage and with data to shed light on growing health inequities.
We urge you to submit urban health research, public policy, and best practices abstracts for presentation at the 2026 @FastTrackCities conference 11-13 October in Berlin. Eight domains for unity of purpose – #HIV to #NCDs and from #HealthAI to #Climate. iapac.org/conferences/fast-t…
