Neurological Health Crisis in the Americas: A new PAHO/WHO-backed study in The Lancet Regional Health – Americas estimates nearly 470 million people (about 2 in 5) across North and South America live with at least one neurological disorder, including migraine, stroke, epilepsy, and Alzheimer’s.

Yellow Fever Vaccination Push: Curaçao’s health ministry urges vaccination after WHO/PAHO alerts of rising yellow fever cases and new geographic detections in parts of South America, emphasizing getting the vaccine at least 10 days before travel. Renal Transplant Programme Update (Suriname): Suriname’s renal transplant programme faces a delay in scheduling a second procedure as local teams train, equipment is secured, theatres are renovated, and free anti-rejection medication arrangements continue.
