Global Health Wins: Diseases Defeated Despite Funding Cuts
22 Dec, 2025
Summary
- HPV vaccine efforts achieved target early, boosting cervical cancer elimination hopes.
- New malaria treatment GanLum shows higher cure rate and resistance effectiveness.
- Long-acting HIV injection arrives in Africa months after US approval.
Significant progress in combating some of the world's deadliest diseases has been announced, even amidst humanitarian funding reductions. A major triumph includes Gavi's early achievement of its goal to protect 86 million girls against cervical cancer by 2025. This initiative, bolstered by the discovery that a single HPV vaccine dose provides comparable protection to two, has dramatically increased coverage in Africa, raising hopes for eventual elimination of the disease.
