Plant health is quietly shaping what we eat, the diseases we face and how our ecosystems function. But if you look at most One Health discussions, plants barely feature.In this episode of Africa Science Focus, we unpack why that gap exists, why it matters, and what happens when plant health and One Health finally come together.Reporter Justice Baidoo speaks with Solveig Danielsen, a plant health systems expert at the agricultural research organisation CABI (the parent organisation of SciDev.Net) and lead author of a study that offers a path forward on this issue. She explains that One Health has traditionally focused on zoonotic diseases, limiting opportunities to tackle wider challenges. Ignoring plant health, she says, weakens the entire health system.The study highlights how global One Health frameworks continue to centre around human and animal health, even though plants are essential to nutrition, livelihoods and environmental balance.Some countries are already demonstrating what integrated approaches can achieve.In Ghana, projects linking plant health and One Health have delivered tangible benefits, says Michael Osae, a research and development scientist at the Ghana Atomic Energy Commission who was involved in such initiatives. He says farmers reported better yields, fewer harmful chemicals on their farms and reduced health risks for people, animals and the environment.However, for many communities, the connections remain unclear. Kikope Oluwarore, executive director of the One Health and Development Initiative, says this lack of awareness is still one of the biggest barriers.She believes One Health messaging needs to be integrated into health, agriculture and environmental programmes to help people understand how these systems intersect in daily life.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Do you have any comments, questions or feedback about our podcast episodes?

GCI Health, Fersen and Fierce Pharma, hosts Ryan Kurzman and Wendy Lund explore the fast-shifting landscape of cancer care with Pam Traxel of the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network. Traxel outlines the growing complexity facing patients—from navigating an expanding range of treatment options to managing rising costs—and explains why access to reliable insurance remains one of the most urgent challenges. As she notes, even with groundbreaking innovation, patients still struggle with affordability, systemic barriers and an overwhelming amount of information that is not always credible or tailored to their specific diagnosis. The conversation also examines the evolving role of patient advocacy and the partnerships needed to drive meaningful change. Traxel emphasizes the importance of integrating lived experiences into policy, improving the credibility of patient-facing communication and strengthening early, ongoing collaboration between biopharma, policymakers and advocacy organizations. She also highlights two top priorities for U.S. cancer policy by 2030: reducing out-of-pocket costs and improving nationwide screening rates. For healthcare and life sciences professionals seeking deeper insight into how access, innovation and policy must intersect to improve patient outcomes, this is a must-listen episode.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If you've ever wondered whether it's too late to start looking after your bone health, this episode is the reminder you need.Angela White, better known as The Running Granny, didn't begin running until she was 53. Since then she's run thousands of miles, including 2 epic challenges; 875 miles from John O'Groats to Land's End, and 62 peaks at 62 (in less than 62 hours!), and become a powerful voice for healthy ageing and bone health awareness.But this conversation isn't just about ultrarunning. It's about the tiny daily decisions that can shape our health for decades.We talk about: • why bone health matters more than most of us realise • how small daily habits turn into lifelong strength • the reality of perimenopause, ageing and independence • why frailty and osteoporosis are not inevitable • how to start, even if you feel unfit, overwhelmed, or unsureAngela's story is extraordinary, but her message is beautifully simple: it's never too late, and every small step counts.To find out more about today's guest and for the full show notes, visit:⁠The Make Movement Matter Podcast⁠If you enjoy this podcast, please press Follow and Rate and Review.  To support the show and help me to keep making the podcast, please contribute by ⁠Buying Me a Coffee...or Tea! Connect with your host, Wendy, founder of Reclaim Movement, on:⁠Instagram⁠ | ⁠YouTube⁠ | ⁠Website⁠

In the latest episode of the Health Matters podcast, former Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Scott Gottlieb joins WPP’s Wendy Lund, GCI Health’s Ryan Kuresman and Burson’s Judy Stecker to discuss the forces reshaping U.S. health policy. Gottlieb warns that while new laws such as the Inflation Reduction Act may lower government spending on drugs, consumers are unlikely to see significant relief at the pharmacy counter. Insurers’ tighter formularies and higher cost-sharing requirements, he said, could continue to drive affordability challenges for patients. The discussion also covers the future of direct-to-consumer advertising, FDA’s role in combating health misinformation and the promise of cell and gene therapies. Gottlieb shares both caution and optimism — noting the risk of consumer frustration if policy changes fail to deliver savings, while pointing to breakthroughs that are transforming treatment and outcomes.
