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, described as up to 95% effective, with officials stressing it complements condoms, testing and follow-up care.

Neglected Tropical Diseases (Global rights angle): A UN Human Rights Council resolution recognizes neglected tropical diseases as a human rights issue, spotlighting conditions like lymphatic filariasis and leprosy and the need for more than medicines alone. Community Response (Youth drugs & GBV): Grassroots women in Cameroon’s Northwest and Southwest mobilised in large peaceful walks after reports of child rape and rising youth drug abuse, calling for stronger protection and action.
