1/ It's very important that LMIC governments and country experts start modelling the potential impact of COVID-related decreases in health service use on indirect deaths *now*. https://twitter.com/GdnDevelopment/status/1245943874960240641
2/ Lack of evidence and advocacy in the early stages will lead to inaction & high indirect deaths, which we demonstrated in our research in Sierra Leone during Ebola. PM me for PDF https://academic.oup.com/heapol/article/32/suppl_3/iii32/4621472
3/ The trade-off between stopping transmission and maintaining normal health services is illusory from a justice perspective. Both must happen. https://www.ghe.law.ed.ac.uk/which-deaths-should-count-in-a-global-health-epidemic/
4/ I applaud existing advocacy efforts eg @MarieStopes that are focused on maintaining access #SRHRisEssential.
