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.

Blueberries and bell peppers: six fruits and vegetables with the most pesticide risk
theguardian.com/environment/2024/apr/18/fruits-vegetables-most-pesticide-risk
Quick Glance: Consumer Reports' Investigation on Pesticides in Food
- A recent study by Consumer Reports revealed that certain foods contain a concerning amount of insecticides and that green beans exhibited residues of pesticides prohibited for over a decade.
- The analysis showed that specific fruits and vegetables present a higher risk due to the type of pesticides detected on them.
- Both watermelons and green beans are classified as high-risk items because of the pesticides present. It was noted that watermelons harbored the pesticide Oxamyl.
- Even though traces of residues were detected in small quantities in food, they can pose significant risks, especially for children or pregnant individuals. Opting for organic products is advised to mitigate pesticide exposure.
