Last update: 10 hours agoRegional Health Innovation: Nigeria’s HubPharm Africa won ECOWAS’s startup prize for health innovation, while Cabo Verde’s Afrikan Coders was among the finalists — a regional platform offering local entrepreneurs visibility and potential investment. Hantavirus Response: A hantavirus outbreak aboard a cruise ship killed three people before it neared Cabo Verde in May; two symptomatic passengers and a high-risk contact were evacuated. The response tested how health authorities coordinate care and limit spread. Vaccination Warning: Bangladesh’s measles outbreak has left nearly 900 people suspected dead, mostly children. Falling childhood vaccination coverage is a reminder of how gaps in routine immunisation can leave communities vulnerable.
