For the purposes of this review, we are not setting out what exactly implementing the concept of
planetary health at a national level should or could look like. This is a complicated and nuanced aspect
of moving the concept of planetary health to action that will be highly dependent on the unique ...needs
of each country. We are, however, trying to encourage progress in this regard by identifying openings
that could be leveraged to speed the uptake of the concept of planetary health.

The statistics of Syrian displacement are staggering – and the numbers continue to rise. Half of Syria’s population has been displaced: ...five and a half million are registered refugees and over six million are internally displaced.

Rapid reductions in TB cases and deaths  worldwide depend on research breakthroughs, including the development of new vac...cines. There has recently been  an increase in political commitment, as evidenced by two UN high-level meetings on TB in 2018 and 2023. The 2023  political declaration reaffirmed the goals set out in the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the WHO's End TB  Strategy, and established new targets for the period 2023–2027

On 20 September 2022, Uganda health authorities declared an outbreak of Ebola disease, caused by Sudan virus,
following laboratory confirmation of a patient from a village in Madudu sub-county, Mubende district, central
Uganda. 
Therefore the MEDBOX Team cre...ated this issue brief to give a quick overview of the most important documents and training material.

Fighting sporadically escalated in different parts of the country leading to spikes in displacement and civilian casualties. As of May some 36,506 families have been displaced across Yemen since the beginning of the year. Hajjah is one of the... most conflict-affected govern orates in Yemen.Between February and May, fighting displaced 33,949 families (about203,694 people). Displaced families are scattered across more than 300sites. In the face of such displacement, UNFPA has scaled up its response and developed preparedness plans to respond to any future large-scale displacement. Through the Rapid Response Mechanism (RRM), led byUNFPA, 30,504 families were provided wither kits. UNFPA is also supporting 12 health facilities in Hajjah to provide lifesaving reproductive health services.
