It is the world's biggest donor and spends billions of dollars a year, funding programmes around the world, like fighting malaria in Bangladesh, clearing unexploded landmines in Cambodia and Laos and providing medical supplies in Sudan.But President Trump says it is run by “radical lunatics” and he and billionaire Elon Musk, who's got the job of trying to slash American government spending, want to shut it down. They have paused almost all international spending for 90 days and issued “stop work” orders to their staff. BBC journalist Nathalia Jimenez tells us what USAID does - and why the Trump administration wants to close it.A large proportion of USAID funding goes towards healthcare and HIV medication in sub-Saharan Africa.

Cape Verde has become the first sub-Saharan nation to be declared malaria-free in fifty years. But mosquitoes, the insects that spread the deadly disease, have started to fight back. One type of the insect has adapted to break all the rules and dodge all the measures we've brought in to beat them. Unlike most mosquitoes, Anopheles Stephensi, can live in urban environments potentially putting people in cities in Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Kenya, Djibouti, Ghana and more at risk. The BBC's Tulip Mazumdar explains the symptoms and effects of malaria. And Dorcas Wangira, our Africa Health correspondent in Kenya, talks to us about this adapted mosquito and the challenges it poses.

In our latest roundup of healthcare stories from Omnia Health Insights you might have missed, curated by Content Executive Fatima Abbas, we reveal how prostate cancer diagnostics and treatments have changed through innovation how new technologies can help with effective HIV care and preventative activities; and how foreign suppliers will now get equal consideration in Chinese government bids. New reports from Omnia Health furthermore reveal insights shared by healthcare leaders participating at Africa Health and Patient Safety virtual events.

Healthcare experts during Africa Health and Medlab Asia & Asia Health virtual events revealed the latest thinking on COVID-19 testing, mental health and more, 18 months after the onset of the pandemic. New reports from Omnia Health additionally show how the pandemic has affected every member of the healthcare community, and how its impacted cancer care, along with future projections and expected treatments.

Africa's top health body has strongly criticised the European Union's decision to exclude AstraZeneca vaccines made in India from their Green Pass programme for travellers.The director of the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, John Nkengasong, says the EU's move was not driven by science and data because vaccines produced in India have not proven to be less efficient than those in the EU.The World Health Organization says it is in talks with the EU to resolve the matter, but insisted that individual EU states still have the flexibility to accept vaccines that have been authorized by the WHO, such as Covishield, the India-produced AstraZeneca vaccine.The EU's Digital Covid certificate comes into effect today with the aim to facilitate travel during the Covid-19 pandemic.

In this episode, we sat down with Sangu Delle, the Chairman and CEO of Africa Health Holdings. Africa Health Holdings is focused on building a sustainable healthcare ecosystem in Africa through its network of healthcare facilities that it owns and manages. To date, Africa Health Holdings portfolio companies have served over 510,000 patients through malaria treatment, family planning, community outreach programs, and more. Africa Health Holdings currently has 40 facilities across Kenya, Nigeria and Ghana serving 200,000 patients every year. What we discussed: From a young age, Sangu Delle developed a pan-African consciousness and the desire to create sustainable and positive change in Africa in part from early exposure to African refugees through his doctor and human rights activist father. Given the disproportionate disease burden the African continent faces and the brain drain of Africa-born healthcare workers practicing outside of Africa, Africa faces large gaps in healthcare. The private sector must supplement fiscally-constrained African governments to improve healthcare access, quality, and affordability. Africa presents an attractive investment opportunity given secular population growth in the region outpacing every other country in the world. Investments in Africa have picked up traction recently through major funding for African startups such as FlutterWave, and the acquisition of Nigeria-based payments startup Paystack by Stripe.

"According to Neville, there is only one power in the universe out of which all things emanate. Not a 'good' source and a separate 'evil' one, but one universal source bending in obedience to the creative will of men and women everywhere. The how remains a mystery; but this eternal fact is nonetheless true. As soon as I was able to feel and accept this to be true, I was free." --Katherine Jegede Growing up in London, Katherine Jegede was always searching for a philosophy to make sense of life. When she found the mind-as-creator philosophy of Neville Goddard, she thought she had found it. Falling victim to a terrible crime, however, caused Jegede to rethink everything she thought she knew. Rather than abandoning Neville's ideas, however, she discovered within them a new source of strength and fortitude. She not only rebounded from her crisis, but also used Neville's creative-mind principles to become a television presenter, something she had never before imagined possible. Katherine Jegede is a British television presenter and author with a background in science. She was first introduced to metaphysics as a teenager by her mother, a former yoga teacher and education specialist. She developed a penetrating and enduring fondness for the self-empowering teachings of Neville Goddard, and remains just as steadfastly devoted to spreading his message today. After completing her studies, Katherine moved to Switzerland to work at the World Health Organization, developing educational resources for rural communities in Sub-Saharan Africa. In addition to her academic science career, Katherine has worked with the BBC Science Unit and BBC Radio Oxford, and served as news editor of the international journal Africa Health, for whom she has conducted research trips, helping set up a learning resources and study center at one of Nigeria's forefront teaching hospitals. She has been published in the internationally acclaimed science journal, Nature. Katherine has also presented two science series aimed at young adults for Channel 4 in the UK, earning a BAFTA nomination. It was a genuine pleasure to interview Katherine.  We talked about her journey, her love of Neville Goddard, finding a specific person, her favorite technique and lots more. You can get her book Infinite Possibilities: How to use the ideas of Neville Goddard to create the life you want here https://www.amazon.com/Infinite-Possibility-Neville-Goddard-Create/dp/0143132474/   For coaching – https://www.advancedsuccessinstitute.com For all episodes of the Reality Revolution – https://www.therealityrevolution.com Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/RealityRevolutionPodcast/ Join our facebook group The Reality Revolution  https://www.facebook.com/groups/403122083826082/ Subscribe to my Youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOgXHr5S3oF0qetPfqxJfSw Contact us at media@advancedsuccessinsitute.com

Aired Wednesday, 25 July 2018, 8:00 PM ETKatherine Jegede – Infinite PossibilityThere emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries a movement known as “New Thought.” One of the early proponents of New Thought, James Allen, said in his 1903 classic, As a Man Thinketh,“Mind is the Master power that molds and makes, And Man is Mind, and evermore he takes The tool of Thought, and, shaping what he wills, Brings forth a thousand joys, a thousand ills: — He thinks in secret, and it comes to pass: Environment is but his looking-glass.”Can our thoughts, our imaginations, transmute and mold our reality in the way that alchemists strived to turn lead into gold? Are there practical teachings and exercises that will show us that imagination is the creative force of all that is?My guest this week on Destination Unlimited, Katherine Jegede, found the answers to these questions in the “mind as creator” philosophy of Neville Goddard.

Aired Wednesday, 27 June 2018, 2:00 PM ESTInfinite Possibility with Katherine JegedeThe teachings of the Law of Attraction may appear to be novel and a modern day concept, but the basic premise of “As a man thinketh, so he is”, is as old as the Bible. This is a spiritual law that of the original New Thought teachers and authors, Neville Goddard, passionately embraced to such a radical degree that he went so far as to state, “Your imagination is God.”Joining Sylvia on today’s show is Katherine Jegede, who offers us a fresh and practical new take on the teachings of Neville Goddard. Together they will discuss how you can use the power of your imagination to create the life you want to live.About the Guest: Katherine JegedeKatherine Jegede is a British television presenter and author with a background in science.
