✨CHAI welcomes this week’s announcement from Gilead Sciences regarding voluntary licensing for lenacapavir both for HIV prevention and heavily treatment-experienced adults living with #HIV. 👉https://ow.ly/OkVF50TC4uM ✨We look forward to our continued partnership with Unitaid, Wits RHI and others to advance the important work of accelerating the development and impactful introduction of generic lenacapavir, which represents a potentially transformational product among an increasing range of HIV prevention options. ✨Licensing is an important first step forward, but there is much collaborative work to be done to ensure generic lenacapavir expeditiously reaches these markets and the individuals who want access to this important new option. 📚Read more about our work in partnership with Unitaid and Wits RHI here👉: https://ow.ly/6Zlp50TC4uL

On this #WorldOxygenDay, we recognize the importance of national oxygen strategies in ensuring equitable oxygen access. The Rwanda Ministry of Health, with support from CHAI and other partners, has launched its National Oxygen Strategy 2024-27. Over the last few years, the government of Rwanda has invested significantly on its medical oxygen infrastructure. Since 2021 at the height of the pandemic, it has: ✅Increased its national oxygen production capacity from 1.2 to 7.2 million m3 annually ✅Established 42 pressure swing adsorption plants across 29 hospitals nationwide ✅Trained 1653 health workers nationally to identify and treat low blood oxygen levels With this new strategy in place, the government aims to increase the availability of oxygen further, by decentralizing care to bring medical oxygen closer to where communities live.

📝A study published in PLOS Digital Health , co-authored by CHAI, revealed that patients in #India who use Connect for Life (CfL), a mobile-based digital solution for tuberculosis treatment, are 3.46 times more likely to successfully complete their course of treatment. The study emphasized that while the digital solution played a significant role, the outcomes were primarily driven by the use of the mobile app combined with a 60% higher follow-up by a frontline healthcare worker. The result highlights the importance of human interventions in enhancing the effectiveness of digital adherence technologies (DATs). 📚Read the full article here: https://ow.ly/bQrR50TvZ3A #Tuberculosis #EndTB
