Last update: 6 hours ago

Maternal Health Crisis: South Africa’s public hospitals recorded 29 newborn deaths per day in 2024, with newborn mortality at 13 per 1,000 births and maternal deaths in-facility at just over 105 per 100,000 births—above UN targets. Ebola Response: DR Congo’s Ebola surge (1,926 cases, 702 deaths) is driving new clinical trials for Bundibugyo treatments, as Africa CDC warns the virus is moving faster than response. Polio in Kenya: Community health volunteers are key to stopping vaccine-derived polio in high-risk, low-coverage pastoral areas like Samburu and Turkana. Aviation & Jobs: Nigeria’s ValueJet plans to add Boeing 737 aircraft and train engineers in Lagos as it expands routes across Africa. Energy & Industry: BYD is exploring battery and component manufacturing in South Africa, betting on technology localisation over full vehicle assembly. Governance & Rights: Ghana’s NACOC is shifting drug policy from punishment to public health, rights and rehabilitation. Mining Value-Add: Ghana unveils a Green Minerals Roadmap to phase out raw mineral exports by 2030 and push domestic processing. Sports & Youth: Nigeria’s Junior D’Tigers qualify for AfroBasket U-18 after an unbeaten run in Burkina Faso.
