Credit: Uniting to Combat NTDsBy Thoko Elphick-PooleyHOVE, United Kingdom, Jun 11 2021 (IPS) As world leaders come together in the UK for the G7, the global response to COVID-19 and how we can build a better defence system against infection is at the forefront of discussions.

Wealth inequalities in reproductive and child health preventive care in Mozambique: a decomposition analysis
CONCLUSION: There was a pro-poor inequality in reproductive and child preventive measures in Mozambique.

HIV-associated malignancies in sub-Saharan Africa: progress, challenges, and opportunities
Purpose of review: To summarize recent developments for HIV-associated malignancies (HIVAM) in low-income and middle-income countries (LMIC) with particular focus on sub-Saharan Africa (SSA).

Despite ART scale-up, the HIVAM burden remains high including an enormous AIDS-defining cancers burden in SSA. For Kaposi...
