The new @WHO's World health statistics report shows that global life expectancy fell by 1.8 years —the largest drop in recent history — reversing a decade of health gains: bit.ly/437wz4w
Behind every data point is a person—a child who didn’t reach their fifth birthday, a mother lost in childbirth, a life cut short by a preventable disease.
These are avoidable tragedies.
They point critical gaps in access, protection, and investment in health care — especially for women and girls.
Every government has a responsibility to act, with urgency, commitment, and accountability to the people they serve.

đź’Š Celebrities use testosterone to boost their sex drive, but is it really the answer?
#Testosterone therapy is not a fountain of youth. There’s no proof it will restore youthful sexual function, and long-term efficacy and safety data are lacking.
#Menopause is not a disease

WHO expresses deep concern about the implications of the immediate funding pause for #HIV programmes in low- and middle-income countries.
These programmes provide access to life-saving HIV therapy to more than 30 million people worldwide.
A funding halt for HIV programmes can put people living with HIV at immediate increased risk of illness and death and undermine efforts to prevent transmission in communities and countries.
Such measures, if prolonged, could lead to rises in new infections and deaths, reversing decades of progress and potentially taking the world back to the 1980s and 1990s when millions died of HIV every year globally, including many in the United States of America.
For the global community, this could result in significant setbacks to progress in partnerships and investments in scientific advances that have been the cornerstone of good public health programming, including innovative diagnostics, affordable medicines, and community delivery models of HIV care.
We call on the Government of the United States of America to enable additional exemptions to ensure the delivery of lifesaving HIV treatment and care.
