TB Diagnostics Boost: The Global Fund is rolling out a near point-of-care molecular TB test in 13 countries, including Cameroon, aiming to deliver nearly 3 million rapid, accurate tests to underserved areas—using tongue swabs and results in about an hour to overcome limits of smear microscopy and hard-to-deploy lab methods. Ebola Response Disrupted: In DR Congo’s Ituri, an Ebola outbreak has led to the cancellation of major diocesan youth celebrations as health authorities step up surveillance and prevention to reduce transmission risks.
