According to USDA researchers, in 1999, the natural-cause mortality rate for people ages 25 to 54 in rural areas was only 6 percent higher than for city dwellers in the same age bracket. By 2019, the gap widened to 43 percent. #ruralhealth

BREAKING: A new report shows that the end may be in sight for AIDS, the world’s deadliest pandemic.
The Joint United Nations Program on HIV and AIDS says that Botswana, Eswatini, Rwanda, Tanzania and Zimbabwe have all reached “95-95-95” targets, meaning 95% of the people who are living with HIV know their status, 95% of those people are on lifesaving antiretroviral treatment, and 95% of people in treatment are virally suppressed.
Across eastern and southern Africa, new HIV infections have been reduced by 57% since 2010. Also since 2010, the percentage of pregnant and breastfeeding women living with HIV who have access to antiretroviral treatment has nearly doubled, and new infections among children have more than halved.
There’s more work to be done, but the UN said the world could end AIDS by 2030 with sufficient investment from global leaders.
