In Africa, there’s an African philosophical idea of “ubuntu” which means “I am because we are.” Healthcare teamwork is often taught through western models. Could ubuntu offer an approach that would improve collaboration and patient care in Africa and beyond? 🔗 bit.ly/4h0eQon via The Conversation

Spent hours at the gym or walking around in sweaty socks? You could be at risk for athlete’s foot – one of the most common fungal infections! If you already have it, don’t ignore it so it won't spread or get worse! Most cases of athlete’s foot can be treated with over-the-counter antifungal creams

Athlete's foot is a fungal infection thriving in warm, damp areas, causing red, itchy, cracked skin between toes.

World Hepatitis Day 2026: Despite progress towards eliminating hepatitis in Europe, gaps in prevention measures keep 2030 targets out of reach

While Europe has made steady progress in preventing hepatitis B and C the region is set to miss the 2030 target to eliminate viral hepatitis as a public health threat.
