The Ministry of Health, Wellness and Elderly Affairs joins the global community in observance of World Tuberculosis (TB) Day today, March 24, 2025. This marks 43 years since the day was first observed and 143 years since the discovery of the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which causes TB. Under the global theme “We Can End TB: Commit, Invest, deliver”, the Ministry reaffirms its commitment to eliminating TB in Saint Lucia through sustained public education, active case detection, and free treatment services. In 2023, Saint Lucia recorded two documented cases of pulmonary TB, with one associated death and no HIV/TB co-infections. This reflects Saint Lucia's low-burden TB status, as defined by the World Health Organization (WHO), with fewer than 10 cases per 100,000 people annually. However, health officials emphasize that even one TB-related death is one too many.

The University of the Free State (UFS) has announced that it will, during its April graduation ceremonies, taking place on the Bloemfontein and Qwaqwa campuses, confer honorary degrees on Archbishop Thabo Makgoba and Professor Salim Abdool Karim. The University said the conferral was for their significant contribution to society in their respective fields. UFS Vice-Chancellor and Principal Professor Francis Petersen said the acknowledgement was a testament to their outstanding contributions to society, academia and the betterment of humanity. "Both are highly reckoned and respected, and their exemplary leadership, scholarship and unwavering commitment serve as guiding beacons for future generations," said Petersen. The University said that the degree PhD in Theology (h.c.) would be awarded to Makgoba on the grounds of exceptional achievements of public service in accordance with the ideals and principles of the UFS, at the Qwaqwa Campus on 12 April 2024. Makgoba, the esteemed Archbishop of Cape Town and Metropolitan of the Anglican Church of Southern Africa, has dedicated his life to fostering social justice, education and spiritual guidance, the university highlighted. His academic achievements reflect his dedication to intellectual pursuits alongside his pastoral duties, with the university stating that Makgoba's impactful leadership as president of the South African Council of Churches and Chancellor of the University of the Western Cape has inspired countless individuals across the world. He has also received honorary doctorates from the General Theological Seminary, New York; Huron University College, Ontario; the University of the South, Tennessee; the University of the Witwatersrand; and Stellenbosch University. His memoir, Faith and Courage: Praying with Mandela, exemplifies his profound influence on reconciliatory efforts and spiritual guidance in challenging times. Karim will be awarded the degree PhD in Medical Virology (h.c.) during the graduation ceremony of the Faculty of Health Sciences, which will take place on the Bloemfontein Campus on 18 April 2024. The degree is awarded for Karim's scholarship in the field of medical virology and his distinguished contributions in this field. Karim, a distinguished clinical infectious disease epidemiologist, has garnered international acclaim for his ground-breaking research in HIV/Aids and Covid-19. As director of the Centre for the AIDS Programme of Research in South Africa and Professor of Global Health at Columbia University, Karim has been at the forefront of scientific innovation and public health advocacy. "His extensive publication record, including more than 500 journal articles and three epidemiology textbooks, underscores his dedication to advancing medical knowledge and combating infectious diseases. Prof Abdool Karim's pivotal research on HIV prevention and treatment of HIV-TB co-infection have revolutionised healthcare practices globally, saving countless lives and shaping public health policies," said UFS. Karim has served as special adviser on pandemics to the director-general of the World Health Organisation (WHO). He is an Adjunct Professor of Immunology and Infectious Diseases at Harvard University, Adjunct Professor of Medicine at Cornell University, and Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Research) at the University of KwaZulu-Natal. Karim serves as a member of the WHO Science Council, is Vice-President of the International Science Council, a member of the US National Academy of Medicine, and a Fellow of the Royal Society.

As the world marks World Aids Day today, this week the Human Sciences Research Council released a report revealing that although KwaZulu-Natal, the Eastern Cape, Mpumalanga, and the Free State have the highest number of people infected with HIV, they've managed to increase viral suppression by nothing less than 80%. Meanwhile, Doctors without Borders says it will close its long-term HIV and TB projects in Eshowe and Mbongolwane in Kwazulu Natal, ending the organization's more than 20 years of continuous HIV/TB operations in South Africa.Sakina Kamwendo spoke to Sean Christie, Advocacy Manager at Doctors Without Borders

This re-published episode was originally published in 2015 and is hosted by Jack Milln and he takes a look at Uganda and how kidney disease has affected the lives of the people in this country. It also touches on the hardships of relying on expensive treatment options in a resource-poor country.  The developing countries of sub-Saharan Africa are under threat by an emerging epidemic of kidney disease. Populations are no longer solely affected by ‘diseases of poverty' such as HIV/TB/malaria but also ‘diseases of affluence' such as diabetes and hypertension. Disease is often asymptomatic until end-stage disease develops requiring expensive treatment options such as transplant or dialysis.In this episode you will here from patients in Uganda about how kidney disease has affected their lives, and the hardships of relying on expensive treatment options in a resource-poor country.

In Epidemic Illusions: On the Coloniality of Global Public Health (MIT Press, 2020), physician-anthropologist Eugene T. Richardson explores how public health practices—from epidemiological modeling to outbreak containment—help perpetuate global inequities. This book questions the Global North's "monopoly on truth" in global public health science, making a provocative claim: that public health science manages and maintains global health inequity. Richardson, a physician and anthropologist, examines the conventional public health approach to epidemiology through the lens of a participant-observer, identifying a dogmatic commitment to the quantitative paradigm. This paradigm, he argues, plays a role in causing and perpetrating public health crises. The mechanisms of public health science--and epidemiology in particular--that set public health agendas and claim a monopoly on truth stem from a colonial, racist, and patriarchal system that had its inception in 1492. Deploying a range of rhetorical tools, including ironism, “redescriptions” of public health crises, Platonic dialogue, flash fiction, allegory, and koan, Richardson describes how epidemiology uses models of disease causation that serve protected affluence (the possessing classes) by setting epistemic limits to the understanding of why some groups live sicker lives than others—limits that sustain predatory accumulation rather than challenge it. Drawing on his clinical work in a variety of epidemics, including Ebola in West Africa and the Democratic Republic of Congo, leishmania in the Sudan, HIV/TB in southern Africa, diphtheria in Bangladesh, and SARS-CoV-2 in the United States, he concludes that the biggest epidemic we currently face is an epidemic of illusions—one that is propagated by the coloniality of knowledge production. Eugene T. Richardson, MD, PhD, is Assistant Professor of Global Health and Social Medicine at Harvard Medical School, Visiting Faculty at the University of Global Health Equity in Butaro, Rwanda, and Chair of the Lancet Commission on Reparations and Redistributive Justice. Catriona Gold is a PhD candidate in Geography at University College London. Her current work concerns the politics of travel in Cold War US; she has previously published on US intervention in the 2013-16 Ebola epidemic. She can be reached by email or on Twitter.

This episode of the Korea Now podcast features an interview that Jed Lea-Henry conducted with Emma Campbell. They speak about frameworks and methodologies for understanding national identity, the history of Korean nationalism, how it has developed overtime, the traditional idea – and importance – of an ethnic centric form of national identity, how polling data is now showing a shift in attitudes away from this framework, the increasing hesitation toward the prospects of reunification within South Korea, the rapidly changing South Korea that young people now find themselves in, the pride that is now felt with the modernity and cosmopolitanism of the country, how current debates about Korean nationalism are playing out, and importantly the rise of a “globalised cultural nationalism” and how it is replacing older ideas of national identity. Emma Campbell is a Visiting Fellow at the Strategic and Defence Studies Centre, College of Asia and the Pacific, Australian National University. Previous roles include Postdoctoral Fellow at the Australian National University's Korea Institute and Adviser to Australia's Shadow Minister for Foreign Affairs and International Development. Emma previously worked with Médecins sans Frontières in Africa and the Middle East on various projects including HIV/TB, refugees, armed conflict and Ebola. She was also a Researcher at the North Korea Database Centre. Emma runs the website ‘NK Humanitarian' (https://nkhumanitarian.wordpress.com/) and is the author of: ‘South Korea's New Nationalism: The End of “One Korea”?'

The level of bacterial activity is only poorly defined during asymptomatic Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) infection. The objective was to study the capacity of a new biomarker, the expression of the T cell maturation marker CD27 on MTB-specific CD4 T cells, to identify active tuberculosis (TB) disease in subjects from a MTB and HIV endemic region. The frequency and CD27 expression of circulating MTB-specific CD4 T cells was determined in 96 study participants after stimulation with purified protein derivative (PPD) using intracellular cytokine staining for IFNgamma (IFNγ). Subjects were then stratified by their TB and HIV status. Within PPD responders, a CD27(-) phenotype was associated with active TB in HIV(-) (p = 0.0003) and HIV(+) (p = 0.057) subjects, respectively. In addition, loss of CD27 expression preceded development of active TB in one HIV seroconverter. Interestingly, in contrast to HIV(-) subjects, MTB-specific CD4 T cell populations from HIV(+) TB-asymptomatic subjects were often dominated by CD27(-) cells. These data indicate that down-regulation of CD27 on MTB-specific CD4 T cell could be used as a biomarker of active TB, potentially preceding clinical TB disease. Furthermore, these data are consistent with the hypothesis that late, chronic HIV infection is frequently associated with increased mycobacterial activity in vivo. The analysis of T cell maturation and activation markers might thus be a useful tool to monitor TB disease progression.
