EDITOR’S NOTE

Our Last Issue Until 2026

It has been a tumultuous year for global and public health, and we know that the news has often been hard to read. But there have also been some tremendous global health wins—and some standout success stories and examples of solidarity from around the world. For our last issue of the year, we’re keeping the focus on the bright notes, bringing you our take on the year’s best global health news.

We’ll be back on Monday, January 5, with more news; until then, we hope you have a joyous, restful holiday season! —Dayna

Global Health Wins from 2025

Shielding Babies From Mosquitoes: Lesus, traditional baby swaddles used in Uganda, could be used to protect against malaria once treated with mosquito repellent, finds a new study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, which found that malaria infections fell by ~65% among children who used the treated wraps. MedPage Today

Pandemic Pact Reached: After three years of negotiations, WHO member states signed a historic pandemic agreement—paving the way to future pandemic prevention and response by strengthening disease surveillance and improving global access to vaccines and other drugs; notably, the U.S. did not sign on, despite previous involvement in the pact’s development. Health Policy Watch

Leaning into Lenacapavir in the HIV Fight: Amid upheaval in the fight against HIV/AIDS, the WHO urged governments to expand access to prevention tools, especially the new twice-yearly injectable lenacapavir—with health leaders lauding the “remarkable momentum” of the drug’s approval in several countries this year. WHO

A New Vaccine for the Meningitis Belt: A century of meningitis outbreaks across a wide strip of sub-Saharan Africa may be dramatically reduced thanks to a new vaccine that prevents the lethal disease; Men5CV, developed by India’s Serum Institute of India and the Seattle-based PATH, is expected to cost $3 per dose and has been distributed in Niger and Nigeria, with more to come. The Telegraph

AROUND THE WORLD: SUCCESS STORIES

How Guinea Stopped Sleeping Sickness: A so-called “tiny targets” approach helped make a massive dent in cases: Researchers discovered that the tsetse flies that spread the parasitic disease are attracted to the color blue and developed tiny blue fabric screens coated with insecticide to attract and kill the insects. El País

Triple Triumph in the Maldives: This year, the Maldives became the first country in the world to eliminate mother-to-child transmission of three diseases: hepatitis B, HIV, and syphilis, thanks to a combination of strong antenatal care, standardized newborn hepatitis B vaccination, and free diagnostic services and vaccines included in universal health coverage. European AIDS Treatment Group

Brazil Turns Around Its Teen Pregnancy Epidemic: Brazil once had the highest teen pregnancy rates in Latin America—but births among Brazilian girls ages 15–19 have plummeted 44% over the last 25 years; expanded birth control access—including free birth control, condoms, and IUDs—is credited, along with poverty reduction and better opportunities for young women. The Telegraph

Hope for Fistula Survivors in Nigeria: Free fistula repair surgery will soon be available at clinics throughout Nigeria, health officials announced in March—a “groundbreaking move” in a country that sees ~12,000 new cases a year of vesicovaginal fistula, which can be a debilitating and highly stigmatizing condition. Nigeria Health Watch

Standing Up to Stigma: In Rwanda, stigma can lead to social isolation, especially in school-age children, who are often mocked for taking HIV medication in class. New protective measures include trainings for school officials, youth-driven anti-AIDS clubs, and the use of discrete pill boxes in classrooms. The New Times

Slovenia’s Preventive Care Pays Off: More than 20 years ago, Slovenia adopted a chronic disease prevention strategy that is now showing impressive results and becoming a model for other countries; the system emphasizes primary care, screening, and coaching the population to seek regular checks at health promotion hubs.

A ‘Brutal,’ Man-Made Hunger Crisis

After the Trump administration’s sudden cuts to food aid early this year, U.S. officials were repeatedly warned by humanitarian advocates that the disruption would cause starvation, violence, and death among refugees in Kenya.

Those warnings were ignored, resulting in what aid workers describe as an American-made crisis.

ProPublica provides a harrowing account of the unfolding crisis from multiple angles:

The lengths World Food Program workers went to warn of dangers, from emergency cables to appeals made over elaborate dinners in Nairobi.

Trump administration officials’ studied refusal to acknowledge the urgency.

And the suffering endured by families in Nairobi’s Kakuma camp, where rations fell to historic lows, malnourished children wasted and died, and families fled rather than starve.

“I’ve never experienced anything like it,” said one longtime aid worker in Kakuma. “It’s huge and brutal and traumatizing.”

The report expands on another ProPublica report earlier this week depicting how U.S. officials celebrated USAID cuts with cake—even as dire warnings of resulting cholera deaths in South Sudan loomed.

The pair of articles from Anna Maria Barry-Jester and Brett Murphy cap a year of excellent reporting from many global health journalists on the global fallout from slashed foreign aid, leading us into our round-up of 2025’s must-reads.

2025's BEST GLOBAL HEALTH REPORTING

The Toxic Toll of Battery Recycling

American car companies have long relied on recycled lead for batteries. But the process of recycling is steadily poisoning the communities working and living around the factories throughout Africa.

Children near one factory cluster outside Lagos, Nigeria, had lead levels that could cause lifelong brain damage.

Automakers were aware of the lead pollution for nearly 30 years, yet they opted not to act—and actively blocked advocates’ attempts to intervene.

The Examination

A Portrait of Measles Resurgence

As measles swept through North America amid declining vaccination rates, reporter Eli Saslow chronicled one West Texas family’s battle with the virus—which forced the father and four children to spend days in the hospital.

“‘I feel like I’ve been lied to,’ [the father] Kiley texted his wife, as his temperature hit 40°C (104°F). He treated himself with cod liver oil and vitamin D," as recommended by HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

A Must-Read Commentary:

“As the pandemic rose, I saw my patients get sick and in some cases die, including a 42-year-old mother of two young children whose loss is seared into my soul. As it receded … the overwhelming public sentiment was: never again. Today, it seems: never what?”

Argentina’s ‘Tidal Wave’ of Health Cuts

Extreme cuts to Argentina’s health systems under President Javier Milei’s austerity measures forced patients and their families to resort to desperate measures to access vital care, including turning to Facebook to obtain donated cancer drugs.

A Scourge of Dud Cancer Drugs

Critical chemotherapy drugs used worldwide have failed key quality tests, leaving cancer patients in 100+ countries at risk of ineffective treatments and life-threatening side effects—exposing dangerous gaps in international drug regulation.

The Bureau of Investigative Journalism

Meanwhile, new must-read TBIJ reporting has found that globally-exported generic medications from major Indian drugmaker Zee Laboratories have been repeatedly flagged as ineffective and dangerous; but a lack of repercussions means the company continues to ship pharmaceuticals worldwide.

�� Faculty of Medicine news: New evidence challenges understanding of Parkinson’s disease

Wed, 17 Dec 2025 09:17:23 -0500

A ��-led study is challenging a popular theory about how dopamine drives movement, a discovery that could shift how scientists think about Parkinson’s disease treatments.

Published in Nature Neuroscience, the research found dopamine does not set the speed or force of each movement, as had been thought. Instead, it appears to act as the underlying support system that makes movement possible.

An ‘Accelerating’ Measles Outbreak

The surging South Carolina measles outbreak has topped 120 cases and sent hundreds into 21-day quarantines, as state health officials hunker down for a monthslong fight.

126 cases—many among schoolchildren—have been reported in the state’s northwest, per CIDRAP. 119 of the measles patients were unvaccinated.

303 people are in quarantine (some for the second time), and 13 are in isolation.

No mandates: State officials, including Gov. Henry McMaster, are steering clear of vaccine mandates, while simultaneously encouraging kids’ vaccinations and emphasizing free choice, Axios reports.

"There's some people who don't want to do it, and that's up to them," McMaster said. "People need to understand it's dangerous just like a lot of other diseases. If there's some way to prevent it, you ought to do it."

Local people are divided with some skeptical of vaccines and aggrieved by COVID-19 remote learning and shutdowns, while others worry about risks for their youngest children, per The New York Times (gift link).

Big picture: The CDC reports 1,900+ measles cases in the U.S. and three deaths (two of whom were children) so far this year.

SIVAKASI, India—Of the 650 families who live in Surangudi village, most have lost either a limb or a loved one to fireworks.

Peru’s Illegal Mining Surges … and Destroys

LIMA, Peru—Soaring gold prices and plunging U.S. government funds are pushing Peru’s southeastern jungle, scene of a booming illegal mining industry, into a public health crisis—with destroyed forests, mercury poisoning, and fast-spreading infectious diseases. The cancelation of U.S.-supported reforestation and mercury poisoning mitigation projects has been likened to “throwing gasoline on an already hot fire.”

Mosquito-Borne Illnesses Engulf Cuba

Mosquito-borne illnesses are sweeping through Cuba’s population amid medicine shortages, overcrowded hospitals, and a lack of government action and transparency, reports El País.

On the ground: Health officials and independent advocates report a mix of dengue, chikungunya, Oropouche, and other respiratory viruses circulating simultaneously.

Many Cubans simply refer to the illnesses as “the virus”—reflecting confusion about what they are suffering from amid little to no diagnostic resources.

Symptoms include high fever, rashes, swelling of joints, vomiting, diarrhea, and persistent pain that leaves many unable to walk normally.

Rapid rise in cases: Official data show 42,000+ chikungunya cases and ~26,000 dengue infections reported this year, with the latter virus’s incidence surging 71%+ in one week, reports Agencia Efe.

A report from The Guardian last month suggested that one-third of the Cuban population was infected.

And 47 arbovirus deaths have been reported—though health workers and families say the real number is much higher, as death certificates have been mislabeled, reports Ciber Cuba.

Children and older people have been especially affected.

Conditions are exacerbated by severe food and medicine shortages, sanitation failures, prolonged power blackouts, and failed vector control.

“Nobody is okay here. … We are an army of zombies,” 57-year-old Mercedes Interian told El País.

REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH

Prosecutions Climb in a Post-Roe Landscape

More than three years after the reversal of Roe v. Wade, pregnancy complications—including life-threatening conditions and pregnancy loss—are increasingly subject to legal scrutiny in U.S. states with strict anti-abortion laws.

By the numbers: A report from reproductive rights group Pregnancy Justice found at least 412 pregnancy-related prosecutions in the two years after Roe’s reversal.

Three types of cases: Charges include mishandling fetal remains, murder accusations after miscarriages or stillbirths, and alleged substance use during pregnancy.

Chilling effect on care: Fear of criminalization is leading to delays in care, interstate travel for treatment, and dangerous, nonviable pregnancies being carried to term.
