GGMC signs memorandum to combat Malaria - Guyana Chronicle
Quick Glance: Combatting Malaria: Challenges and Solutions
  • Progress in reducing malaria has stalled in recent years, especially in African regions. Pregnant women, young children, and other vulnerable groups continue to have limited access to malaria services.

  • Infants and young children are disproportionately affected by malaria, especially in poorer households in sub-Saharan Africa. Pregnant women are at increased risk of malaria due to immunity loss.

  • Refugees, migrants, and indigenous peoples are also at higher risk of malaria and often lack access to necessary services.

  • Climate change and humanitarian emergencies contribute to making vulnerable populations more susceptible to malaria. Measures like combating discrimination and integrating malaria control interventions into universal health coverage can help achieve a malaria-free world.

Quick Glance: FSSAI Testing Spice Samples After Hong Kong, Singapore Product Recalls
  • Following the discovery of ethylene oxide in products from Everest and MDH in Hong Kong and Singapore, the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India has initiated the collection of samples of powdered spices from all brands across the country to assess their quality.

  • An unidentified official mentioned that India's food safety regulator has commenced sampling spices from all brands, including MDH and Everest, to ensure compliance with quality standards.

  • The official also highlighted that India's Food Safety and Standards Authority, operating under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, does not monitor the quality of spices exported from the country.

  • According to Maharashtra Food Assistant Commissioner Ulhas Ingwale, the authority received reports of pesticide residue in specific flavors of MDH and Everest, prompting considerations for sampling and pesticide testing.
