- HeatherLaGarde: Didn’t expect Hans Rosling to make me cry but he just did #ghc36 #ghcp2
- hexmode: To say there is a developing world & western world is like saying there are only clever ppl and stupid ppl — Hans Rosling #GHC36
- tylepard: Hans Rosling is amazing. We must stop talking about the dichotomy of Western vs. developing countries. #GHC36 http://www.gapminder.org/
- ResearchAmerica: Javier Guzman @ #ghc36 on G-finder, tool that quantifies R&D investment for neglected dis. drugs. Could answer crucial funding questions.

- suzrainey: All throughout conference is common theme: shortage of healthcare workers. #ghc36
- suzrainey: PATH: baby weaning from HIV mother sometimes only has black tea to drink. This is why we are here. But how can we expedite solutions? #ghc36
- jamesbt: Opportunity: Performance support tools built on @smsmedic, @openmrs. Truly empower frontline healthcare workers @ point of care. #ghc36
- ashifi: Amazing stories from award recipients at the GHC banquet. Good results can take time… Congrats to the London School & others. #GHC36
- jamesbt: Thought: you can develop a service to meet an existing demand, but you can also develop a service first then generate demand for it. #ghc36
- LAlexanderson: Back in Boston after a long, yet thought provoking week in the district at #ghc36. Really yearning to go to the field now.
And the last two are bonus ones that sum up a great week:
