The 2024 presidential election is taking a different approach when it comes to health care, focusing more on immediate pocketbook relief rather than major overhauls. This shift is due to voter concerns about the economy and rising health care costs, making it an exciting and promising time for health care in the US.
We’ve also got some great updates on the PEPFAR program, which has been temporarily renewed, providing a lifeline for global AIDS relief. This is fantastic news for the millions of lives that have been saved by this program, and it’s a step in the right direction for global health.
In other news, the military has found that a significant number of essential medicines are at a “very high risk” due to their reliance on Chinese ingredients. This discovery has sparked a call to shore up the military’s pharmaceutical supply chain, ensuring the safety and security of essential medicines for our armed forces.

It’s truly amazing to see the impact that gene therapy can have on individuals and families, and it’s a testament to the incredible advancements in medical technology.
Lastly, we’ve got some heartwarming stories that offer hope and inspiration in difficult times. From a café changing the lives of refugees to the impact of seeking out daily “glimmers” of hope, these stories remind us that there’s always light at the end of the tunnel.
