GGMC signs memorandum to combat Malaria - Guyana Chronicle: Recognising the widespread impact of Malaria in Guyana, the MoC outlines ambitious objectives aimed ...

Quick Glance: Combatting Malaria: Challenges and Solutions

Progress in reducing malaria has stalled in recent years, especially in African regions. Pregnant women, young children, and other vulnerable groups continue to have limited access to malaria services.

Infants and young children are disproportionately affected by malaria, especially in poorer households in sub-Saharan Africa. Pregnant women are at increased risk of malaria due to immunity loss.

Refugees, migrants, and indigenous peoples are also at higher risk of malaria and often lack access to necessary services.

Climate change and humanitarian emergencies contribute to making vulnerable populations more susceptible to malaria. Measures like combating discrimination and integrating malaria control interventions into universal health coverage can help achieve a malaria-free world.

Quick Glance: US implements ban on worker 'competition agreements' with business groups filing lawsuits

The U.S. Federal Trade Commission has approved a framework to eliminate agreements often signed by employees to refrain from joining their employers' competitors or establishing rival businesses.

The ban on noncompete agreements is projected to boost worker earnings by up to $488 billion over the next decade and facilitate the establishment of over 8,500 new businesses annually.

Prominent business associations have criticized the framework and declared legal actions, contending that noncompete agreements assist companies in safeguarding trade secrets and advancing competitiveness.

Unions have endorsed the FTC's vote in favor of the ban, hailing it as a significant triumph for workers that will enhance the national economy by fostering entrepreneurship.

FSSAI to test samples of spices sold in India after Hong Kong, Singapore recall products

Quick Glance: FSSAI Testing Spice Samples After Hong Kong, Singapore Product Recalls

Following the discovery of ethylene oxide in products from Everest and MDH in Hong Kong and Singapore, the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India has initiated the collection of samples of powdered spices from all brands across the country to assess their quality.

An unidentified official mentioned that India's food safety regulator has commenced sampling spices from all brands, including MDH and Everest, to ensure compliance with quality standards.

The official also highlighted that India's Food Safety and Standards Authority, operating under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, does not monitor the quality of spices exported from the country.

According to Maharashtra Food Assistant Commissioner Ulhas Ingwale, the authority received reports of pesticide residue in specific flavors of MDH and Everest, prompting considerations for sampling and pesticide testing.
