Global health funds push for more private money, fearing government retreat The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria told Reuters it will ask for almost 50 per cent more money from private entities, including philanthropic organisations and companies, for a total of $2 billion, when it launches a new funding round later this year. #GlobalFund | #PrivateSectorDonations | #AIDS | #Tuberculosis | #Malaria | #FundingRound | #USExit | #Philanthropy | #InternationalAid | #PeterSands Read more: https://lnkd.in/e5EQXxfu

Deforestation and changes in habitat are increasing the prevalence of monkey malaria. 🎧 Listen now #eLifePodcast

Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) devastate millions of lives, particularly in some of the world's poorest and most rural communities. For too long, diseases like visceral leishmaniasis and river blindness have been wreaking havoc, but now, coordinated efforts to eliminate these diseases are gaining traction. A new piece from The Economist explores the recent breakthroughs in the fight against NTDs. It's great to see The END Fund's Sam Mayer featured, highlighting how the "growing political consensus and evidence base" is driving an increase in philanthropic efforts to tackle NTDs. Key breakthroughs include: 💊 Innovative treatments: New drugs, including a potentially game-changing oral therapy for kala-azar, are being tested across Africa, with promising results. 🏥 Localised solutions: Non-profits like the Drugs for Neglected Diseases Initiative (DNDi) are leading clinical trials in affected areas, ensuring treatments are tailored to local needs. 🌟 Global momentum: A coordinated push from governments, non-profits, and donors is driving advancements in NTD treatment and elimination efforts.

Within the UK alone, 1 in 4 adults and 1 in 5 children live with obesity. The World Health Organization has declared obesity a global epidemic. Our Innovation Grant scheme has supported Dr Nicola Contessi Negrini's groundbreaking work developing a new human-based model of obesity. But what do you need to be able to build, replicate and verify such a model? Nicola and his team have received £7,000 which will be used to: - Develop and test new synthetic materials that act like the biological molecules and structures of the human body.  - Grow the type of fat cells that live just under the skin, study how they develop from their earlier stages, and compare them with samples from real patients As well as a small £100 stipend for travel between the collaborators on this project, Imperial College London, and University of Cambridge.  The cost of research can seem high, but the cost of doing nothing is even higher. By using donations to develop these non-animal approaches we are not only improving human healthcare for the future, we‘re also saving animal lives now.  #NAMs #NATs #ObesityResearch
