Every year, 871,000+ people die of causes stemming from loneliness, , which named the issue as 鈥渁 defining challenge of our time.鈥�

Diagnosing loneliness: The WHO defines loneliness as the distress that comes from the lack of desired relationships, while social isolation is defined by the objective absence of social ties, .

• One in 6 people globally suffers from loneliness. Social isolation is estimated to affect up to 1 in 3 older adults, and 1 in 4 adolescents.

Health impacts: Loneliness is linked to chronic illness, depression, anxiety, and cognitive decline. 

Especially vulnerable: People in low- and middle-income countries, who report loneliness at 2X the rate in high-income countries; and young people, as ~20.9% of adolescents reported loneliness compared with 11.8% of those aged 60+, . 

• The loneliest group: Teenage girls, with 24.3% reporting the condition. 

Multiple factors contribute to a culture of loneliness, including low income and education, poor health, lack of community infrastructure, and use of digital technologies.

Roadmap for action: The WHO is urging countries to make loneliness a priority in research, including policy in areas like digital reform and community spaces, and public interventions like Sweden鈥檚 鈧�30 million loneliness initiative.

The Democratic Republic of the Congo has launched a new national initiative to eliminate AIDS among children by 2030鈥攁 move the UNAIDS director for the DRC called a 鈥渁 breath of fresh air鈥� amid widespread cuts to global HIV services. 

Background: Despite significant gains in the country鈥檚 response to adult HIV, children still have 鈥渆xtremely limited鈥� access to HIV prevention and treatment services.

• Just 44% of DRC children living with HIV in the country currently receive lifesaving treatment. 


• And every year, thousands of Congolese children are born infected鈥攁s a lack of prenatal screening means opportunities are missed to prevent mother-to-child transmission. 

Details: The $18 million effort will include improving prevention, early detection, and treatment of HIV for children, adolescents, and pregnant women.

Scientists in Uganda have used AI to generate transcripts based on thousands of hours of radio broadcasts for a study to learn what the nation鈥檚 communities are hearing about Ebola outbreaks. 

• , meaning 36.5 million people are offline. 


• ~55% of the population relies on the radio for information. 

Analyzing what the public is hearing, scientists say, is the first step to countering misinformation, tailoring public health messaging, and shaping policy.

The study found that the radio conversations during Uganda's Ebola outbreak in 2022 were largely dominated by government officials and media personalities. The lack of input from scientists led many Ugandans to believe the outbreak was tied to political and financial interests and that it was fabricated.

Six months since U.S. officials slashed USAID funding for global aid and development, the toll is becoming evident on intimate and international scales. 

Malnourished families increasingly have nowhere to turn in places that depended heavily on U.S. aid like Sudan and Nepal. Studies project cuts could lead to 163,500 additional child deaths annually, . 

In Nepal, the sudden halt of food shipments has already led to deaths and threatens to undo years of work addressing childhood wasting and stunting.

In war-torn Sudan, the cuts have triggered a cascade of preventable deaths from bacterial infections, cholera, and starvation as soup kitchens close and clinics鈥� stockrooms grow bare, . 

• One Sudanese mother described trying to soothe her starving children: 鈥淪ometimes I boiled water on the fire and told them I am cooking and just to wait.鈥�
