“Healthcare is like a lightning rod — it's where gender equity and a thriving future meet. Because if women have a voice, education, and economic power, they will have access to health.” In partnership with Devex and ViiV Healthcare, Deborah Waterhouse discusses the pressing issue of discrimination and stigma faced by many women in lower-income countries, when it comes to accessing healthcare. Deborah also shares what we’re doing to help tackle the roots of health inequality through our work with partners such as mothers2mothers and through collaborations like the Gender Equality Fund.

A series of lab tests diagnosed Andrew with #myelofibrosis (MF). Like many people who live with MF, managing this #bloodcancer can be challenging, requiring support from family and an expert care team. Throughout Andrew’s experience, self-advocacy and taking an active role in the management of his cancer with his wife and care partner, Esther, by his side have been key to living his fullest life. How does Andrew work with others to get ahead of this cancer? Learn more in WebMD: https://gsk.me/3VnW1z0

📢 Brazil and Thailand become the first malaria-endemic countries to launch new single-dose relapse prevention medicine for Plasmodium vivax (P. vivax) malaria    P. vivax is the dominant malaria parasite in many countries outside of sub-Saharan Africa and is characterised by clinical relapses. Without treatment for the latent liver-stage infection, patients experience repeated bouts of illness, imposing significant physical, economic, and social burdens on both individuals and communities. Relapses also increase the disease burden and the potential for onward transmission, ultimately impeding global efforts to eliminate malaria.     Developed through a longstanding partnership Medicines for Malaria Venture, tafenoquine, co-administered with chloroquine, offers a new potential treatment option for vulnerable populations who are disproportionately affected by this disease.     By continuing to invest in global health R&D, strengthening healthcare systems, and enabling access to healthcare in lower-income countries, together with our partners we can help change the trajectory of malaria.    #ChangeTheTrajectory #Malaria #GlobalHealth #ZeroMalaria

Antimicrobial resistance is escalating, posing significant threat to humanity and challenges to health systems around the world.

Today, we’ve signed a new 10-year energy deal in Singapore with Sembcorp which is set to increase our global purchased renewable electricity usage by 9% from 2025. With this new agreement, all three of our medicines and vaccines manufacturing sites in Singapore will be covered by 100% renewable electricity generated directly at the site and purchased through renewable energy certificates from solar projects. Our sites in Singapore are critical for the production of innovative medicines and vaccines for HIV, oncology and infectious diseases. We know that climate change is already having a negative impact on human health, and we are committed to playing our part in protecting the health of both people and the planet to help get ahead of disease together. #LCAW2024
