Mosquito Fight, Big Questions: A new global look at “what if we killed all mosquitoes” says only a handful of species drive most human disease, but warns the environmental trade-offs need more clarity. Health Systems at the Centre: Ahead of the Africa Forward Summit in Nairobi, civil society is pushing people-first health reforms and stronger local capacity for medicines and vaccines. School Feeding Boost: VP Mohammed B.S. Jallow opened a National School Feeding Forum, pointing to an eightfold rise in funding—from GMD 30m (2019) to GMD 250m (2025/26)—as partners press for wider coverage. Money Watch in Health: Auditors flagged a D165m Central Bank investment in Horizon Clinic as potentially impaired by over D118m, raising fresh questions about value for a long-delayed project. Local Infrastructure for Access: President Barrow commissioned a 12km Brufut–Madiana road network to cut isolation and improve access to health and education. Rights and Civic Space: Police blocked a GALA anniversary event, detaining 15 activists, while human rights groups continue to demand stronger protections for civic space.
