Humanitarian Focus: World Humanitarian Day (19 Aug) spotlighted the people who keep delivering food, shelter and medical care during crises, with renewed emphasis on preparedness and partnerships. Mozambique Health & Safety: In Mpumalanga, South Africa’s health department is assessing claims that “fake patients” are collecting ARVs and other vital medicines from public clinics for a black market that exports to places like Mozambique and Zimbabwe. Malaria Data: Nigeria Health Watch urged malaria programmes to use local subnational data to tailor interventions, arguing it can cut deaths even as funding tightens. Electricity & Care Access: Malawi’s power crisis worsened as the Mozambique–Malawi interconnection missed yet another deadline, leaving longer blackouts that hit homes and hospitals. Cancer Treatment Access: BeOne Medicines and partners extended Brukinsa access for chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, aiming to reach about 1,000 patients by 2028, with possible expansion including Mozambique. Regional Health Diplomacy: India and Mozambique held Foreign Office Consultations in Maputo, reviewing cooperation including health, alongside security and trade. Local Business & Health/Safety Training: TotalEnergies trained 100 SMEs in Cabo Delgado under CapacitaMoz, with the curriculum including health, safety and environment.
