Tuberculose matou 71 pessoas na provΓ­ncia moΓ§ambicana de Nampula em seis meses As autoridades de saΓΊde apontam a falta de financiamento como uma das causas do aumento da doenΓ§a. Entre 2019 e 2024, do total de 108.242 casos notificados e tratados no paΓ­s, 10.547 eram crianΓ§as.

Unfortunately, despite a promising premise, Clofast did not pan out for shorter duration w/clofazamine rifapentine regimen (3 months) vs RIPE (6 mo).
Shorter regimen had higher relapse rate, worsening radiographic response
despite earlier cx conversion

A year after its breakout public health moment, 'miracle drug' lenacapavir has been approved by the FDA and recommended by the WHO. The drug is a long-lasting shot that provides almost 100% protection against HIV infection. buff.ly/E5zOvGl

Africa’s push for HIV independence advances with first procurement of locally made medicines Sub-Saharan Africa has taken a cautious but critical step toward greater health self-reliance as locally produced HIV medicines and diagnostic tests begin reaching national programmes – including, for the first time, procurement of African-made treatment for Mozambique.

The @who.int has prequalified the first African-made first-line #HIV treatment.

Its procurement by @globalfund.bsky.social marks progress in building resilient, self-sufficient health systems in Africa β€”still home to 65% of the global HIV burden.

With the #jpiamr program closing, there is a final conference on its achievements. Nice gathering of funders, scientists of all walks, and policy makers. Lessons learned when moving to EU partnership OneHealth. Looking forward to new era.

I posted the same thoughts. But I think the BYE part of each of the licences is violated as you are not acknowledged. Copilot gives 2 or so references if you use an account. Unlikely it will be your paper.
