Following the USAID freeze for foreign funding this year, access to HIV and preventive treatment was temporarily paused in Panama, limiting members of this vulnerable population from accessing necessary medication @AGabster @WHO @UNAIDS @probidsida @GantesMd @onewm

To report on the story, I spent a month in Panama's Ngäbe-Buglé territory and spoke with young men living with HIV about the social stigmas they face carrying the virus and about the multiple challenges they face to access treatment:

This story would be different if 🇵🇦 had access to long acting injectable PrEP and ART.

[Adam Williams @AWilliams_Mex]

While HIV and AIDS medication is free in Panama, there are only 2 antiretroviral clinics serving the 2,700-square-mile Ngäbe-Buglé territory.

Those infected often don't have the money to travel to these clinics, while others refuse treatment to avoid social stigma.

[Adam Williams @AWilliams_Mex]

In Panama, an HIV outbreak in the indigenous Ngäbe-Buglé territory has been deemed an "uncontrolled epidemic" by lead health officials and epidemiologists. Spent a month on assignment w/ @ICFJ in 2024 to tell this largely uncovered story for @NPR:

[Adam Williams @AWilliams_Mex]

* In the first 10 months of 2024, there were 258 new HIV and AIDS cases detected in the Ngäbe-Buglé territory, an incidence rate nearly four times higher than the country's urban provinces and Panama City

la idea para el documental nació después de una nota para @nytimes que escribí sobre las Amazonas en 2021. No es muy común que una nota tenga tanto impacto, y me alegro ver que la historia de las Amazonas sigue siendo contada:

Demasiado chido ver que un documental de @ESPNDeportes sobre Las Amazonas de Yaxunah será parte de @FICM en Morelia esta semana. Narrado por Yalitza Aparicio, el documental cuenta la historia de estas mujeres maya que juegan sóftbol descalzos y en sus vestidos tradicionales y...

¡LAS AMAZONAS DE YAXUNAH llegan al #FICM2024! ⚾✨ El documental, dirigido por Alfonso Algara y narrado por Yalitza Aparicio, nos lleva a la selva yucateca, donde un grupo de mujeres mayas rompió normas de género y formó un equipo de softbol, ¡haciendo historia! 🔥

Since 2011, the Floating Doctors have provided medical services to thousands of members of the Ngäbe-Buglé indigenous group, most who have to walk hours to get to the nearest health clinic or hospital.

Thanks to @ICFJ and @AJEnglish for the opportunity to tell their story.

Spent a week in June in the Panama rainforest documenting the work of the @floatingdoctors, a group of medical volunteers that travel to the country's most remote regions to provide healthcare to indigenous communities:

Known as ASASTRAN, the midwives, doctors and botanists use traditional medicine plants, which they cultivate in the rainforest, in birthing rituals:
