HIV Prevention Breakthrough (Douala): Cameroon has started a pilot rollout of CAB-PrEP, a long-acting injectable HIV prevention drug (cabotegravir) given every two months, with officials saying it’s up to 95% effective for people at high risk; the Ministry of Public Health says it will not replace condoms, testing, or follow-ups, and success will depend on community outreach and stigma reduction. HIV Progress Check: New national survey results show Cameroon has met two of the UN “95-95-95” targets—96.4% of diagnosed people on treatment and 95% achieving viral suppression—while the “know your status” target remains a gap. Waterborne Disease Watch (Region): Nigeria’s cholera outbreak in jihadist-affected areas is worsening as insecurity and weak health infrastructure limit care, with reports of high daily patient loads and deaths. Neglected Tropical Diseases as Rights: The UN Human Rights Council has adopted a resolution recognizing neglected tropical diseases as a human rights issue, highlighting the need beyond medicines—especially for hard-to-reach communities in Cameroon. Gender & Community Health Advocacy: Grassroots women in Cameroon’s Northwest and Southwest regions are mobilizing against youth drug abuse and gender-based violence, including a large peaceful march after a reported rape case. Water & Sanitation Planning (Northern Regions): Government has launched the SEWASH project to expand safe water and sanitation, backed by World Bank IDA financing, aiming to improve public health in water-stressed communities.
