🎗️ Global cancer is surging: ~18.5M new cases and 10M deaths in 2023, projected to exceed 30M cases a year by 2050. About 4 in 10 cancer deaths are tied to preventable risks like smoking, poor diet and obesity—and HPV vaccination (even single‑dose) is already cutting cervical precancers.

🟠 Measles is back: outbreaks in every world region and ~1,500 US cases so far in 2026, mostly in unvaccinated people. Disrupted immunization and misinformation are turning measles into a canary in the coal mine for failing health systems. #Measles #GlobalHealth #Vaccines
🏥 WHO says it has verified at least 13 attacks on health care in Iran and one in Lebanon since US–Israel strikes began—damaging hospitals, clinics and ambulances and killing health workers. #ConflictAndHealth #StateOfHealthNews
🎗️ A new WHO–IARC study finds about 37% of global cancer cases in 2022—7.1M of 18.7M—were linked to modifiable risks like tobacco, alcohol, obesity, inactivity, air pollution and infections. Tobacco alone drives ~15% of new cases. #CancerPrevention #GlobalHealth #TobaccoControl
WHO’s latest stats show 30%+ of women of reproductive age live with anaemia, ~5.5% of under‑5s are overweight, and 1 in 4 women experience intimate partner violence. Slow crises, huge pressure on health systems. #GlobalHealth #WomensHealth

Ghislaine Maxwell pleaded the 5th Amendment today and refused to answer questions because the President is waving a pardon over her head. In no way should she ever be pardoned. I call on the President to firmly commit to never pardoning her. The victims deserve justice.
