Every time we flounder we just embolden them further. - Jo Cox

Building an integrated, cost-effective, national health service that delivers quality care for all is one of the critical challenges facing anyone with a stake in global health. A mum doesn’t divide the health of her family up into different bits when she goes to a health clinic: ‘vaccines’, ‘malaria’, ‘HIV’. For her a health centre is a health centre and a nurse is a nurse. When she goes to get help, she should receive integrated care for all her family’s needs not just the one thing that centre, or health practitioner, happens to know about. We need to assign inefficient, parallel health interventions to the rubbish bin.

Thanks Diane. I hope we can all agree that this debate should be about Syria not UK party politics

We must put party politics to one side and focus on what really matters—the protection of Syrian civilians.
