Low BRAF V600 mutation prevalence in primary skin nodular melanoma in Indonesia: a real-time PCR detection among Javanese patients
ConclusionThe prevalence of BRAF V600 mutation in Indonesian primary skin nodular melanoma cases is low and significantly associated with anatomic location and lymphovascular invasion. It is lower than prevalences in other Asian populations as well as in Caucasian populations and suggests that melanoma cases in Javanese people may have distinct clinicopathological characteristics from other Asian ethnicities.

Community participation and private sector engagement are fundamental to achieving universal health coverage and health security in Africa: reflections from the second Africa health forum
ConclusionsThe Forum participants agreed that the role of community engagement and participation in the attainment of Universal Health Coverage, health security and ultimately the Sustainable Development Goals cannot be overemphasized. The public sector of Africa alone cannot achieve these three interrelated goals; other partners, such as the private sector, must be engaged. Technological innovations will be a key driver of the attainment of these goals; hence, there is need to harness the comparative advantages that they offer. Attainment of the three goals is also intertwined – achieving one paves the way for achieving...
