🟠 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
Canada’s new Connected Care for Canadians Act (Bill S‑5) aims to end fax‑era fragmentation by forcing health IT systems to share data safely across the country—without a single national database. Interoperability + trust, not just apps
📱 Heavy daily smartphone use in teens is increasingly linked to anxiety, depression and behaviour problems—mainly via less physical activity and disrupted sleep—while more countries roll out school phone bans and lawsuits target social‑media harms.
🏟️ PAHO has issued a measles alert after a 43‑fold rise in cases in the Americas—1,031 in the first 3 weeks of 2026—just months before the FIFA World Cup in the US, Mexico and Canada. Surveillance is being ramped up so the World Cup doesn’t become a measles super‑spreader event.
📊 Underreporting turns outbreaks into “invisible epidemics.” Stigma, weak labs and political pressure mean many STIs, TB cases and emerging infections never make it into the data—skewing dashboards and delaying responses. #Surveillance #GlobalHealth #DataJustice
In Ukraine, attacks on health care rose 20% in 2025, and strikes on the power grid have left hospitals running ICUs and surgeries on generators in repeated blackouts. Target the grid and you target the health system.
🎗 A new WHO–IARC analysis finds that about 37% of cancers in 2022—7.1 million cases—were linked to preventable risks. Tobacco drives ~15% of new cancers and infections like HPV and hepatitis add another 10%. Prevention isn’t optional—it is cancer policy.
In Gaza and the West Bank, >3,000 incidents of violence or obstruction against health care have been recorded since Oct 2023—about 95% linked to Israeli forces. All 36 Gaza hospitals damaged; only half partially functional.
🧠 Overcrowded tents, sewage, malnutrition and a shattered health system are fuelling rising meningitis cases among children in Gaza, with fatal bacterial infections reported as hospitals run out of beds, labs and antibiotics.

Trump sued his own government for $10 billion. Today he settled with the DOJ he runs and cut the judge out of the process. The deal: a $1.8 billion taxpayer-funded slush fund his Attorney General controls, with no court oversight and no transparency. It's the most corrupt scheme of his presidency.
