Dengue infects up to 400 million people a year—and India carries a third of that burden. The country just approved its first vaccine, Qdenga, developed by Takeda. It targets all four dengue strains and works regardless of prior infection.

As #WorldBreastfeedingWeek draws to a close, let’s hear from the people at the heart of it - young moms and dads from across GHS offices.

This shared what breastfeeding has meant to them - the experiences, the support that helped, and the small moments that made a difference. Their stories remind us that every breastfeeding journey is stronger when it is shared.

Today marks the start of #WorldBreastfeedingWeek2026.

Breastfeeding gives every child a healthy start, but mothers need the right support to make it possible. Families, healthcare providers, workplaces, and communities all have a role to play.

Together, let's create an environment where every mother has the support she needs to breastfeed.

Researchers in Nigeria have developed a creative way to educate children about schistosomiasis, a neglected tropical disease that impacts millions of children in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Although effective treatment and prevention tactics are available, transmission awareness and misinformation pose a challenge to uptake. Enter “Schisto & Ladders”, a board game developed by researchers from Akwa Ibom State University. The game teaches children about ways to prevent schistosomiasis, combats misinformation, and helps improve community uptake of the safe medicines used to treat it.

A 12-year study in Tanzania found a striking benefit from treating lymphatic filariasis (LF): new HIV infections dropped significantly in people that received the deworming treatment.
This study shows that neglected tropical disease programs deliver benefits far beyond a single disease — they strengthen community health and resilience. https://t.co/AKNRpdxeL7

Most people have never heard the term "hidden hunger"—yet it affects millions of people across 🇮🇳 every day.

Many people consume enough calories but still do not get the essential vitamins and minerals their bodies need, including iron, folate, Vitamin D, and Vitamin B12. These deficiencies often go unnoticed, but they can have serious consequences for health, learning, productivity, and well-being across generations.

This video explains why hidden hunger deserves greater attention - and why awareness must be matched by action.

Malnutrition is not about lack of food; it is about the lack of balanced nutrition.

You could be eating a full meal every day and still missing out on essential vitamins and minerals that your body needs. Micronutrient deficiencies, also known as hidden hunger, silently drain your health, productivity and well-being. You may not even be realizing it.

Watch to find out what’s missing from our plate and how it impacts all of us.

The Republic of #Korea is one of only four countries in the world that has reached a #hypertension control rate above 50%.

Globally, every hour, over 1000 lives are lost to strokes and heart attacks from high blood pressure, while hypertension control is one of the most cost-effective interventions in public health. This is why I call on world and health leaders to heed ROK's experience:
