The death rate for Marburg virus is nearly 90%. There are no approved vaccines and treatments. So how did Rwanda achieve what one doctor calls an “unprecedented” success in controlling its outbreak?

Good news stories in global health don’t get as much coverage as the failures. We should all take a moment to congratulate Rwanda for how they’ve managed this outbreak to date. This piece is a great summary of where things stand with Marburg in Rwanda 👇 https://t.co/7NkN8YU9dt

Over 200,000 people canceled their subscriptions in the first few days following news that The Washington Post would not endorse any presidential candidate.

This is a staggering number. But while there is a part of me that loves the fact that people are sending such a strong, clear message, the outcome also makes me incredibly sad, because journalism really needs more readers and resources not less... https://t.co/XQEgvV7JCD

Since the Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade in 2022, one study estimates there’s been nearly 65,000 pregnancies from rape in states that ban abortion.

Many state abortion bans include exceptions for rape. But many people on the frontlines of this issue say getting an abortion in these states after rape is difficult or – in some cases – impossible. 🇺🇸 https://t.co/1dTtXlRFhG

The United States has made almost no progress in closing racial health disparities despite promises, research shows. The government, some critics argue, is often the underlying culprit.
Source: www.npr.orgCategories: General Medicine News, General NewsTweet-
Federal and state governments have spent big to boost access to health care and reduce racial disparities, with little progress. For some, the reason is clear: “Racism ... Full stop.” @renurayasam & @fred_ckelly report for KFF Health News & @NPR. ⤵️ https://t.co/aIyvZ71zcf
