“In humanitarian settings: there is an opportunity for agility, moving out of silos, shared mission.”
“Coordination is about taking the time to listen, and forging a common narrative.”
“Innovation can bring solutions that are vital to the quality of care in humanitarian contexts.”
"We must include non-communicable diseases in the crisis management agenda from the first day."
“Without your help we cannot survive.”
“As a donor, we often see humanitarian crises as large and overwhelming but when broken down into specific interventions, there is a clear path forward for investment.”
“We learned in 2014 in Donbas not to build a separate system through humanitarian efforts. We need discipline to complement local system.”
“Goodwill, open minds, and common purpose. This constitutes connective tissue, and that enhances sustainability.”
“Only by strengthening existing health systems people will be able to manage whatever comes in the future of climate change”
”Being without insulin in a war can be worse than being wounded.”
