When do you start pharmacological thromboprophylaxis after TBI? 🌍
There is major international variation in practice due to limited high-quality evidence.
We’re conducting a global survey to understand current practice.

We are thrilled to have Pakistan’s Ministry of Health here today, and sponsoring our resolution on recognising TBI as a chronic and notifiable condition!
Initiatives are already underway to strengthen TBI care in Pakistan and beyond!

Prof Servadei reminds us of why #TBI care matters:
For neurosurgeons & perioperative care
For nurses & allied professionals
For public health
For all
The chain of care is complex, we need training and expertise across the entire care continuum

Next, @AlexisTurgeon_ from @braininjury_CAN tells us of the great leadership of Canada in advocating for TBI to be recognised as a chronic condition
We must continue this work on the global landscape, join us in our efforts!

TBI is a preventable condition.
Good public health and prevention strategies are essential to reduce disease burden.
High quality TBI care starts from here.

Next up, Nicoline Schiess from @WHO’s Brain Health Unit tells us about the huge global burden of neurological conditions, including TBI
1 in 3 people worldwide
We must work collaboratively to achieve better neurological care.

Breaking silos at #WHA78! 👏
Dr @SaniaNishtar CEO at @gavi joins our efforts towards improving TBI care!
We must work together to move the needle, collaborating in a multisectoral way!
“In challenging times, we must move out of our silos”

We’re at #WHA78!
We’re staring our side event with stories from people with lived experiences of TBI
TBI is a global public health crisis, affecting people across the world.
TBI should be recognised as a chronic and notifiable condition —> better data, better advocacy
NIHR GHRG on Acquired Brain & Spine Injury (ABSI) retweeted
“Most stories have endings, but this one does not”
Paul Dubetz tells us of his own #livedexperience of suffering a severe TBI 15 years ago.
TBI is not just an acute episode, it is also a chronic condition with long-lasting effects.
This must be recognised!
#WHA78 #notifyTBI
Our team are at #WHA78!
Tomorrow afternoon we will be advocating for TBI to be recognised as a chronic and notifiable condition!

Important lessons and take home messages with relevance across conditions, professional groups & contexts!
Essential for achieving high quality, safe, timely care for brain injury - join our multilateral efforts @TBICoalition #NotifyTBI #ChronicTBI #WHA78
First panel at @surgfoundation’s #WHA78 side event discussed financing for #GlobalHealth #globalsurgery
👉 financing plans need to be clear, comprehensive, appropriate to support the health system & patients the plans are due to serve - well said by Dr Lishimpi from MoH Zambia
NIHR GHRG on Acquired Brain & Spine Injury (ABSI) retweeted
Fantastic panel at the @InciSioNGlobal #WHA78 side event on surgical equity!
Key messages on #globalsurgery training needs:
1. We need to learn how to efficiently manage people & resources
2. We need to learn to talk nicely, so we minimise tensions & focus on what’s important
We are working as part of @TBICoalition towards achieving reporting of TBI cases.
High quality data drives effective policies!
Join us on 21/5 for our side event to find out more and join the discussion on #notifyTBI #chronicTBI #WHA78 @theG4Alliance
If “only what gets measured gets managed [and funded]”, where do we stand in #globalsurgery?
There are important challenges in reporting surgical indicators 10 years on.
👉 we need high quality, standardised, widely adopted data on key surgery indicators to inform policy!
NIHR GHRG on Acquired Brain & Spine Injury (ABSI) retweeted
Next up, Dr Meena Cherian reminds us of the key work that led to the resolution WHA68.15, still very relevant today! And a great example for ongoing efforts to #notifyTBI #chronicTBI @theG4Alliance @WHO @TBICoalition @global_neuro
NIHR GHRG on Acquired Brain & Spine Injury (ABSI) retweeted
As incoming @WHO assistant general for disease prevention & control, we hope @JeremyFarrar & his team will work with @TBICoalition to address the 🌍 morbidity & inequity due to brain trauma
We must recognise #TBI as a #notifiable & #chronic condition to reduce its global burden
Hearing @JeremyFarrar at #WHA78, @WHO chief scientist discuss WHO reform with the changing role of #WHO
Our biggest challenge is to ensure science drives greater equity rather than allow it to drive further inequality
🔑 for us to apply as we strive to advance neurosurgery care

At the 10-year anniversary of the #globalsurgery movement
A reminder that “5 billion people still don’t have access to safe and timely surgery when they need it” #WHA78 @theG4Alliance
We are at @theG4Alliance council meeting starting an exciting week ahead at #WHA78! Join us in advocating for #NotifyTBI #ChronicTBI
