AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

HIV Research: Merck plans to present data in Glasgow on daily and once-weekly oral HIV treatments and a monthly PrEP pill. The options are investigational and could broaden future treatment and prevention choices. Medicine Access: South Africa’s health department is seeking alternatives amid medicine shortages, while the Western Cape is pressing for urgent national action to get supplies to public clinics. Heat and Pregnancy: Reports warn that extreme heat can endanger pregnant women and babies. The risks are especially relevant as South Africa heads into a hotter-than-usual summer.
