Dear Fellow South African,
Last week, surgeons at Mankweng Hospital in Limpopo completed a remarkable operation. A team of doctors, nurses and other health workers successfully separated conjoined twins in a complex operation that demanded extraordinary skill and precision.

75 days since #Mpox was declared a #PHEIC but progress remains worryingly slow:
🚫 No rapid diagnostics
🏥 Limited point-of-care testing
💉 Only 265k vaccine doses for DRC (25k+ cases)

TB in pictures: the world’s leading infectious disease killer, no other infectious disease killed more people than TB in 2023.
It was also the leading killer of people with HIV and a major cause of deaths related to antimicrobial resistance.

"In 2023, Tuberculosis (TB) probably returned to being the world’s leading cause of death from a single infectious agent, following 3 years in which it was replaced by coronavirus disease (COVID-19), and caused almost twice as many deaths as HIV/AIDS."

NEWS:
#Rwanda today started the world's first clinical trial for Marburg virus disease treatments, in partnership with WHO.
The trial involves testing the safety and efficacy of Remdesivir—a drug against viruses already used to treat COVID-19, and MBP091—a special antibody designed to fight Marburg virus.
This trial is the result of two years’ work by nearly 200 researchers, developers, ministry of health officials and partners globally and from 17 African countries at risk of outbreaks of filoviruses such as Ebola and Marburg.
