Podcasts about Public health emergency

It's been nearly a month since the World Health Organization declared the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. The numbers of confirmed cases and deaths are continuing to rise. In a situation facing a lethal pathogen and zero approved vaccines, what does it take to stop the spread of the virus? Host Ding Heng is joined by Susannah Mayhew, Professor of Health Policy, Systems and Reproductive Health at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine; Shane Thomas, Professor of Health Promotion at Federation University Australia; Professor Wu Zhiwei from School of Pharmacy, Dali University in Yunnan, China.

A plague is coming. We don't know when or which one, but we do know that since humans started gathering in groups numbering in the thousands, plagues became a consistent feature of existence. So a plague is always on the horizon, and public health is the response of a healthy society. How healthy is America right now? Given that a recent NY Times investigation found that RFK Jr is laser-focused on vaccines and food dyes and not much of anything else, the news is not great. Today we look at candidates for the next plague, how unprepared the government is, and, in classic Conspirituality fashion, the wellness influencers selling products they just know will help your immune system stave off any little virus destined to become a plandemic. In This Week in Conspirituality, Matthew checks in on someone else's health: Donald Trump, and the online prediction market that's emerged to appease a cultural wish fulfillment.

This episode unpacks how a major Ebola outbreak in Central Africa exposed critical gaps in global health surveillance and assesses U.S. preparedness for future biological threats.   Host: James M. Lindsay, Mary and David Boies Distinguished Senior Fellow in U.S. Foreign Policy, CFR   Guest: Thomas J. Bollyky, Bloomberg Chair in Global Health; Senior Fellow for International Economics, Law, and Development; and Director of the Global Health Program   We Discuss:   The current state of the Ebola outbreak in the DRC and Uganda, and why the case count was already high by the time authorities reported it. Why governments are often slow to report cases during outbreaks, and what delayed reporting may have cost in this instance. Why the WHO has discouraged trade and travel restrictions. How the U.S. withdrawal from the WHO is shaping a more limited response. Whether China is stepping in to fill the global health leadership gap left by U.S. institutional withdrawal. What the politicization of mRNA vaccine technology means for the U.S. ability to respond to future outbreaks that require rapid vaccine deployment. How artificial intelligence creates opportunities to accelerate global health responses, but also introduces new risks like engineered pathogens.   Mentioned on the Episode:   CDC Health Alert: Ebola Disease Outbreak in the DRC and Uganda, May 19, 2026   WHO Disease Outbreak News: Ebola caused by Bundibugyo Virus, DRC and Uganda, May 21, 2026   WHO Declaration of Public Health Emergency of International Concern, May 17, 2026   Bollyky et al., "Assessing COVID-19 pandemic policies and behaviours and their economic and educational trade-offs across US states from Jan 1, 2020, to July 31, 2022: an observational analysis," The Lancet   CDC Mobilizes International Response Following Ebola Disease Outbreak, May 18, 2026   For an episode transcript and show notes, visit The President's Inbox at: https://www.cfr.org/podcasts/presidents-inbox/americas-ebola-preparedness   Opinions expressed on The President's Inbox are solely those of the host or guests, not of CFR, which takes no institutional positions on matters of policy.

On this episode of Today in Global Health, Professor Ngwaba and Oluwakayode tackle one of the most significant public health stories on the continent — the ongoing outbreak of the rare Bundibugyo strain of Ebola in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda.The discussion breaks down why this outbreak has triggered a global alarm, with the World Health Organization declaring it a Public Health Emergency of International Concern and the Africa CDC designating it a continental security emergency.Professor Ngwaba explains the unique danger posed by the Bundibugyo strain, particularly because there are currently no licensed vaccines or specific treatments available for it. The conversation examines the outbreak's spread across borders, the challenges facing health authorities, and why containment remains the most effective weapon against the disease.Closer to home, the episode explores what this means for Nigeria. Drawing lessons from the country's successful response to the 2014 Ebola outbreak, the discussion highlights the importance of airport surveillance, contact tracing, public awareness, emergency preparedness, and strengthening healthcare systems before a crisis arrives.Beyond the medical implications, the show examines how disease outbreaks affect economies, education, migration, governance, and regional stability. Professor Ngwaba also emphasizes the need for stronger African health institutions, local vaccine research capacity, and cross-border cooperation in managing future public health threats.Insightful, urgent, and deeply relevant, this episode serves as both a public health education session and a reminder that in an interconnected world, health security anywhere affects health security everywhere.

On May 17, 2026, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the ongoing Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) outbreak affecting the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Uganda, a Public Health Emergency of international Concern (PHEIC) under the International Health Regulations (2005). The current Ebola outbreak is concentrated in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (Ituri, Nord-Kivu, and Sud-Kivu provinces) and Uganda, particularly in Kampala. There are no cases of the Ebola Virus Disease in the Caribbean region. The current risk of this disease to the Caribbean is assessed by the Caribbean Public Health Agency (CARPHA) as low. However, given that the introduction of the disease to the Caribbean region can happen through travel associated with importation and the region's high connectivity through international travel, it is important that the national surveillance system is strengthened.

This week we talk about the Democratic Republic of the Congo, malaria, and healthcare infrastructure.We also discuss militants, Uganda, and the Bundibugyo virus.Recommended Book: We Should Get Together by Kat VellosTranscriptEbola, which is more formally called Ebola Virus Disease or Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever, is caused by an infection by a type of RNA virus called an orthoebolavirus.There are six known species of orthoebolavirus, and four of them have at some point infected and caused illness in humans. Those four are the ebola virus, sometimes called the Zaire ebolavirus, which historically has been the strain responsible for the biggest, most devastating outbreaks of this disease, the Sudan virus, the Taï Forest virus, and the Bundibugyo virus, the latter three each causing a variant of the disease that carries the same name.The other two orthoebolavirus species that we know of, the Reston virus and the Bombali virus, have been known to infect animals, but have not, at this point at least, been known to make the jump to human hosts.Ebola symptoms vary a bit between specific viruses and between hosts and infection conditions, but in general those who are afflicted by ebola begin to experience symptoms between a few days and a few weeks after infection, and they'll start by experiencing cold and flu-like symptoms, like fever, sore throat, headaches, and general muscle pain. Soon after that, though, they'll start experiencing diarrhea and rashes, they'll begin vomiting, and they'll begin to experience liver and kidney dysfunction, and around that same time, they'll start to bleed internally and externally.Once infected, a person has between a 25 and 90% chance of dying, depending on the strain of ebola, and if they die, usually due to what's called hypovolemic shock—a severe and sudden loss of bodily fluids, including blood—they usually die between 6 and 16 days after those first symptoms are reported.What I'd like to talk about today is a new outbreak of ebola centered in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and why this one stands out from other recent outbreaks in the region.—Ebola was first officially reported in medical literature in 1976, mostly in sub-Saharan Africa, and there have been semi-regular outbreaks in that region, of various sizes ever since, and very likely before that, too.This disease is spread through direct contact with the body fluids of someone who's infected, and it's thought that this is probably how the disease made the leap from animals, like primates, to human beings: locals sometimes come into close contact with local primates, either while just coexisting, or while hunting bushmeat, hunting monkeys for food.It's thought that fruit bats serve as hosts for the virus, long-term, and it then spreads to other animals, and then sometimes to humans, in some cases causing illness along the way in those other species, but not always; bats are not negatively afflicted by it, for instance, but humans very much are.Despite not being an airborne pathogen, so it's not spread by coughing or talking too close to someone, like a cold or Covid-19, ebola can still be spread person-to-person through bodily fluid contact. That means fluids like saliva and blood and semen and breast milk, and research has shown that even after someone survives and recovers from ebola, the disease can linger in their fluids for months. So if someone catches it, survives, and then breast-feeds their child, or kisses or has sex with their partner, or gets a cut and then someone else comes into contact with their blood, like a health worker, that can lead to the transmission of the disease, despite their having been well and seemingly fully recovered for weeks or months.That lingering contagiousness is a confounding factor with this disease, as it requires that people be very careful, even to an antisocial degree, and even well after it seems like that's no longer necessary, because they feel good and healthy again.This also means that if someone dies of ebola, contact with their bodies can be incredibly dangerous. And past outbreaks have stemmed from or been further enflamed by locals wanting to perform community funerals and wakes, during which the body is often on display and touched by attendees, and that has led to further spread of the disease—which in many cases is difficult to tie back to that wake, because again, symptoms don't arrive right away, and ebola symptoms are similar to what locals experience all the time from other afflictions, like colds and malaria.This past week, in Bunia, which is located in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, locals stormed a regional hospital in an attempt to recover the body of a beloved local figure who died of ebola. In the process, the hospital's isolation ward, which was being used to keep ebola victims separate from everyone else, to keep the disease from spreading further, that ward was burned to the ground.There are no vaccines or treatments for the Bundibugyo Ebola species that is at the core of the outbreak, and the spread of misinformation in the area had locals believing that these health workers were trying to kill their patients, not save or isolate them so no one else caught ebola.The man at the center of this, who died five days after being admitted to the hospital, was thought, by his family, to have malaria, which is common in the area and has very similar symptoms, at least in the early days of an ebola infection.They demanded the hospital release his body so they could bury him, and the staff refused, saying doing so right now could lead to more ebola spread. The family gathered more locals, who threw stones at hospital workers, they broke through the gates of the hospital, police fired into the air to try to disperse the angry crowd, and the ebola ward caught fire during the melee. During that fire, five patients who were in the ward, all suspected of having ebola, fled, and they haven't yet returned—so they are possibly out in the open, no longer isolated, suffering and maybe dying from their infection, and possibly spreading it to others, as well.There's a lot going on in this story, and misinformation spread by local traditional healers who don't like the hospitals and the medical workers who tell locals medical information rather than folk healing information are part of the problem, but the local medical establishment not doing a good job of educating locals about what they're doing and why are arguably the flip side of that same coin; more investment in that kind of information dissemination by the government would go a long way to preventing this sort of thing in the future, and health workers globally could use more resources and overall infrastructure to help protect them while they're carrying out their work.That said, this is just one small facet of what's become a much larger story. As of the day I'm recording this, this new outbreak, which was first reported in the Ituri Province of the DRC, has caused 186 confirmed deaths, with 82 more confirmed cases and 836 suspected cases.As I mentioned, it's caused by the Bundibugyo ebolavirus, which is less common, at least at this scale, and thus typical response efforts used against the more common Zaire ebolavirus, don't seem to map onto this strain as well as was hoped, and the World Health Organization declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern on May 16, as while this is unlikely to become as significant an issue as Covid-19 or other aerosol-spread infections on a global level, regionally it's causing a lot of damage, and its nature, and the state of international aid for this sort of thing—which is currently substantially reduced, in part because of pullbacks on such programs by the current US administration—means it could continue to flare for several more months, before eventually starting to slow, killing many, many people, in any incredibly painful and contagious manner, in the process.This is the 17th ebola outbreak in the DRC since the disease was first recorded in the medical literature, and the third outbreak of this strain—the first of which was in the Bundibugyo District of Uganda in 2007 through 2008, that's where it got its name, and then another in 2012 in the DRC.This isn't the deadliest strain of ebola, only killing between 25 and 50% of those afflicted, but because of those aforementioned issues, plus it having flared in a region where governance is complicated by the presence of several militant groups, this wave of infections has created a broad and precarious situation; lots of people have been uprooted from their homes because of conflict between these militant groups and the government, and those refugees have been spreading ebola to other areas throughout the region, making contact tracing difficult or impossible, and leading to surges of new infections in neighboring, and a few further-flung, provinces.According to a predictive model of the outbreak published by the MRC Centre for Global Infectious Disease Analysis, the current number of infected people could actually be well over 1000, in part because of how difficult it's been isolating the infected, and because the early symptoms are so similar to other common local afflictions; so people are less likely to visit hospitals and get an accurate diagnosis, because they assume it's just a bout of something else, something less deadly and contagious.Getting resources into the area is becoming more difficult, too, as those militant groups are fairly active, one such group recently taking over a primary regional airport, which has disallowed the import of necessary medical equipment for regional hospitals.This hasn't had much of an impact globally, yet, though cases have been documented in neighboring Uganda—a total of five confirmed infections, as of the day I'm recording this—and the World Cup team from the DRC was ordered to isolate before entering the US to compete, forced to remain in Belgium for 21 days to confirm they aren't carrying the disease before being allowed into the States for the competition.Far more likely than mass global spread, though, is more regional spread, which could lead to temporary border lockdowns and similar efforts to keep those who are in currently impacted regions from scattering, understandably fleeing either the outbreak or the militants in these areas, and thus carrying the disease into different provinces or countries.Local and international aide organizations are scrambling to prevent this, and to identify and isolate infected people where possible, but it'll likely be a while before they have the necessary on-the-ground resources to do this correctly, and a lot more spread could occur before they're able to do so at an effective level.Show Noteshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ebolahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_African_Ebola_epidemichttps://www.cdc.gov/ebola/about/index.htmlhttps://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5175058/https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/congo-ebola-outbreak-cases-are-top-iceberg-coalition-says-2026-05-21/https://apnews.com/article/congo-ebola-outbreak-who-4e08d8df6d9c34039a9e0b8bad7a8954https://www.wsj.com/world/africa/ebola-outbreak-explained-4ab4414fhttps://www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/2026/5/23/uganda-confirms-three-new-ebola-cases-bringing-total-to-fivehttps://www.theguardian.com/football/2026/may/23/dcr-world-cup-squad-isolate-ebola-outbreak-congo-united-stateshttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/22/world/africa/ebola-congo-clinic-burned-protests.htmlhttps://www.npr.org/2026/05/23/nx-s1-5831963/u-s-passengers-flying-from-ebola-affected-countries-reroutedhttps://www.cdc.gov/han/php/notices/han00530.htmlhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Ituri_Province_Ebola_epidemichttps://edition.cnn.com/health/maps-ebola-charts-vishttps://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/may/21/ebola-outbreak-public-healthhttps://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/suspected-ebola-cases-reported-rebel-held-congo-area-2026-05-21/https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/19/world/africa/ebola-outbreak-deaths-congo-who.html This is a public episode.

Good Morning, I'm Nelson John. Today on Top of the Morning, five stories about pressure and how institutions respond when it shows up. TCS has quietly told managers to classify 5% of employees as underperformers under "Band D," right after completing a 12,200-person workforce cut. We break down what Band D actually means, why this 5% quota is new, and what it says about margins in the IT sector. Vodafone Idea has reported its first profitable quarter in six years but most of that ₹51,970 crore profit is a one-time accounting gain from revised AGR dues. We unpack what the real underlying numbers look like. Adani Enterprises has agreed to pay $275 million to the US Treasury's OFAC over LPG shipments allegedly linked to Iran. Here's what the settlement covers and what's still open. India's palm oil import bill is climbing fast, and Indonesia's B50 biodiesel mandate is the next pressure point on global supply. And the WHO has declared the Ebola outbreaks in Congo and Uganda a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. Here's what India is doing. Learn more about your ad choices.

Over the weekend, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the Ebola outbreak caused by the Bundibugyo virus in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and Uganda a Public Health Emergency of International Concern.As of Saturday, 16 May, health authorities had recorded eight laboratory-confirmed cases, 246 suspected cases and 80 suspected deaths in Ituri province in eastern DRC.Uganda also confirmed two Ebola cases – including one death reported in capital Kampala – among travellers arriving from the DRC.“Ebola is a very serious disease, but it's one that we know how to control,” said Mohamed Janabi, WHO Regional Director for Africa.Speaking to UN News' Flora Nducha, he explained the measures WHO is taking to contain the spread of the virus and called on the media to share accurate information to avoid a “fear outbreak”.

Nearly ninety deaths have been recorded so far in the Democratic Republic of Congo with medical experts warning that the current strain of the Ebola virus has a very high mortality rate. The DRC's health minister said that no vaccine or specific treatment was available. Also, more than fifty children between the ages of two and five are abducted in northeast Nigeria during attacks on three schools in the same town. Several people are seriously injured after a car is driven into pedestrians in the Italian city of Modena. Two rival marches are held on the same day in London with pro-Palestinian demonstrators and British far-right activists kept apart by the police.

Covid 19 was the last Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC). Our guests in this podcast think that the Trump Administration should be declared the next one. Joining Kamran Abbasi are, Fatima Hassan,  human rights lawyer and Director of the Health Justice Initiative in South Africa, and Matthew Herder, Director of the Health Justice Institute at Dalhousie University in Canada explain why they think that the actions and consequences of the Whitehouse meet the bar for WHO to delcare an emergency We examine the global consequences of recent US policy shifts, including: The withdrawal from the World Health Organization (WHO) and its implications for international health governance. Significant funding cuts to global health programs, including PEPFAR and the CDC, and how these disruptions affect life-saving HIV and TB treatments in the Global South. The rise of "unhinged nationalism" in health policy, from North American measles outbreaks to the extraction of trade concessions in exchange for medical aid. The role of US health leadership in fueling vaccine hesitancy and dismantling scientific research at the NIH.   Reading list: Trump and his administration as a public health emergency of international concern Why the expanded global gag rule is a deadly triple tripwire for recipients of US foreign aid The power of the markets: the scandal that keeps on taking

A two day national conference on road safety has opened in Killarney with the central theme of safer roads. 185 people lost their lives on roads in the Republic of Ireland last year and 57 north of the border. So far this year, 32 have lost their lives in the Republic. So, with the rise in road deaths, are we framing this wrong? And should we be framing this as a public health emergency?Sinéad O'Sullivan is a Business Economist, and joins Ciara to discuss this and her website tracking road deaths.

This week, we unpack why the U.S. Surgeon General issued a public health advisory aimed not at kids, but at parents — revealing a burnout crisis driven by loneliness, cultural pressure, and fractured community. We explore how the church can respond with honesty, presence, and hope in a moment where exhausted families need connection more than ever.DISCLAIMER: The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the cast members and guests.

Jennifer Senior used to have no trouble sleeping. Until she did. In her new article for The Atlantic, called "Why Can't Americans Sleep? Insomnia has become a public-health emergency," she looks at how insomnia is now tenacious and pervasive. She joins us to discuss her reporting, and talk about how America is actually making its sleep crisis worse.

In my opinion, Tucker Carlson's interview with RFK was a softball, limited hangout. Lot's of red meat for anti-vaxxers but no questions of true import.Here are a few of the questions I would have asked if I were to interview Secretary Kennedy:1. Why haven't you reversed the former HHS secretary's COVID-19 Public Health Emergency?2. Why haven't you used the bully pulpit to bring awareness and aid to the vaccine injured & dead?3. Why haven't you used the bully pulpit to publicly advocate for the PHARMA liability shields to be abolished?4. Why haven't you used your position as HHS secretary to withhold funding from states that enforce severe vaccine mandates for babies and children?5. Why haven't you pulled the mRNA shots OFF the market while you study them for safety?6. Why did you fast track SA-mRNA vaccines?7. Why is your agency still recommending COVID shots for immune compromised babies and pregnant mothers?8. Why hasn't your agency advised health practitioners to post ingredients lists, package inserts and potential adverse reactions for ALL vaccines to achieve true 'informed consent'?9. Why haven't you directed NIH director Jay Battacharya to launch a massive, nationwide study on vaccine related injuries and deaths?Is it any surprise RFK has never appeared on the SJ Show?Today we discuss this and more with special guest Seth Holehouse!Last week Ed Dowd warned of deep recession and recommended GOLD as the PREMIER safe haven, saying ‘gold is money good' … a Tier 1 asset.It is time to get your metals strategy in place!

Send us a textSmallpox may be gone but it's got a cousin called mpox, and that virus is now spreading fast across parts of Africa.As of October 2024, this mpox outbreak had infected more than 40,000 people, mostly in the Democratic Republic of Congo, according to the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention. More than 1,000 people have died from the infection. The World Health Organization (WHO) declared mpox in the Democratic Republic of Congo and neighboring countries to be a Public Health Emergency of International Concern in August 2024.Officials are distributing smallpox vaccines to try to control it. The viruses are closely enough related so researchers believe that modern smallpox vaccines can protect people safely against mpox. But the rollout is slow.  It's not clear why the virus has started spreading in households, but it's infecting and killing more and more children.To make matters worse, people are desperate for medicines to prevent infection and help treat symptoms, which include fevers and a rash. They're seeking antibiotics, which cannot treat a virus. This inappropriate use of antibiotics can drive drug resistance.This is the second time mpox has been declared a public health emergency by the WHO since 2022. A slightly different strain of mpox has been spreading since then through close contact, often sexual and often among men who have sex with men. Mpox is even now showing up in new cities and countries in North America and Europe.Nodar Kipshidze, Senior Research Analyst at the One Health Trust, says the virus spreads easily because people often don't know they have it. It's also not clear where it originally came from, although small rodents and other mammals can spread it. In this episode of One World, One Health, Nodar tells us mpox is causing a lot of confusion, and we need to ensure we learn from previous outbreaks and share resources globally to stop the spread and save lives.

Welcome to the Emerging Issues Show - the show where we talking about topics that are popping up on the peripheries of society and public policy.Today, we dive into what should be a very controversial piece of proposed legislation that could grant governors immense emergency powers over society, circumventing individual liberty in the name of “public safety.” Seems pretty crazy, but the craziest aspect to it all is the same reason why you probably haven't heard of it.Our guest today is Kendyl Turner, a fellow in the American Journey Experience Freedom Rising Fellowship program and author of the article “This bill would turn governors into tyrants, no legislature needed.”

Join U.S. Army Iraq Combat Medic Veteran and host of America's Heroes Group, Dr. Damon Arnold, as he sits down with fellow veteran and public health expert Kenneth Campbell, DBP, MPH, MBA, MA. In this episode, they discuss the critical role of veterans in public health and emergency preparedness, the importance of A.I. and infrastructure in addressing health inequities, and the mission of ADAPHP, LLC. Kenneth Campbell, a former executive assistant to the director of the Illinois Department of Public Health and a Marine Corps veteran, shares his experiences in managing large-scale public health crises, including the COVID-19 pandemic. The discussion also covers how veterans can play a key role in the evolving landscape of technology, public health, and emergency management.Watch now to learn about the vital intersections of health, technology, and infrastructure, and how veterans can continue to serve their communities beyond the battlefield.

On August 14th, the World Health Organization declared MPOX a "Public Health Emergency of International Concern." This is the highest level of alarm that the WHO can issue to confront a public health crisis, and it was triggered in response to a rapidly spreading outbreak in Central Africa. As my guest, Dr. Eric Toner, explains, this MPOX outbreak is different from the one two years ago due to the fact that this new strain of the virus is both more deadly and more transmissible. Dr. Eric Toner is a senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security. He explains the differences between the strains and what we know so far about how MPOX is spreading within Central Africa and, more recently, to other continents. We have a lengthy discussion about how to contain the outbreak, which includes deploying effective vaccines. However, the problem is that the supply is limited and controlled by just a handful of vaccine manufacturing companies.

THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION declared mpox a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) this week. Because of its handling of COVID-19, many view this as another power grab. We understand. As we've discussed on this program, the WHO is trying to establish an Orwellian system of global control by claiming expertise over matters of public health, and then defining everything from infectious disease to gun violence to social media as public health issues. The fact remains that the clade of mpox spreading through the Democratic Republic of Congo has a fatality rate of about 5% in adults and 10% in children, far higher than even the Great Influenza of 1918–19 that killed upwards of 20 million people. We'll keep eyes on this. Meanwhile, an unreported data breach has reportedly exposed sensitive information for 2.9 billion users, including names, addresses, Social Security numbers, and personal details on relatives living and dead. This only came to light through a lawsuit brought against National Public Data, which allegedly obtains information from private sources without consent. Bottom line: It's time to change your passwords.

Will Africa's past experience with health emergencies help in tackling the Mpox outbreak?Could a rift within Ethiopia's TPLF party derail the Pretoria peace agreement?And was a landslide at a rubbish dump in the Ugandan capital that killed at least 30 people preventable?Presenter: Audrey Brown Producers: Joseph Keen, Charles Gitonga and Nyasha Michelle Technical Producer: Chris Ablakwa Senior Producer: Paul Bakibinga Editors:Alice Muthengi and Andre LombArd

“It's a clarion call to action. It's a recognition that we can no longer afford to be reactive. We must be proactive and aggressive in our effort to eliminate this threat.” Africa's leading health body - Africa CDC – has declared the rapidly rising cases of Mpox in East Africa a public health emergency. Since the beginning of the year, nearly 14,000 cases and 450 deaths have been recorded in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the most affected country. And more cases are being recorded in other African countries - including a number, like Uganda and Kenya, which are seeing the disease for the first time. So what should the global response be to what's been called the ‘most dangerous' strain of the disease yet? Presenter: Alan KasujjaGuests: Dr Jean Claude Udahemuka of the University of Rwanda and Dr Matshidiso Moeti - WHO Regional Director for Africa.

[Original airdate: 7/17/23] Occasional podcast Crash Connell and Scott Schara discussed an update regarding the July 14 (2023) hearing on Grace's lawsuit. We also discussed the medical industrial complex's grip on the population. Medical malpractice was the third leading cause of death, before Covid. Covid woke us up to a much darker agenda. In that light, we discussed Obamacare's provision authorizing mercy killing, euthanasia, and assisted suicide and how the ending of the Public Health Emergency, related to Covid, has mutated into something worse. Finally, we discussed Informed Consent, and how Informed Consent is the tool to become intimately familiar with in order to protect yourself in any medical setting. Remember, our enemy is Satan; not the doctors and nurses. Ephesians 6:12: For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
