South African doctor's fight in the battle against COVID 19 | A Diary from the Frontline
Carolyne Wasonga is fighting for what counts – ending HIV, preventing gender-based violence and empowering young women and adolescent girls. “What I love about my job is that I'm able to change lives. I can't change all of them, but there are a few individuals that I can change,” she says. Through support from the Global Fund, Carolyne and her fellow peer educators will reach 20,000 HIV positive adolescent girls in five countries in sub-Saharan Africa. Join Carolyne and others who are fighting for counts through the Global Fund’s Seventh Replenishment this year.
ROLE: Producer and Director: Frontline healthcare workers are the most vulnerable to MDR TB. This is a powerful of the brave women who fought and survived the illness contracted while saving the lives of others. 2018
A South African feature documentary which tells the untold, inside story of how 500 000 healthcare workers lives were saved from the pandemic by the largest, fastest vaccine study rollout of its kind in the world. The study initiated, inspired, led and driven by a team of powerful African women scientists who folded decades worth of experience into one of the greatest medical interventions in the world to save the lives of medical staff at the frontlines. The film narrates tension and emotion through key women role players and heroines who shaped and shifted time to make it all happen in a remarkable 17 days when it normally takes years. This is a specialist documentary chronicling a proud South African legacy and the women scientists who stood tall to make it happen.
Cancer is rising in under-50s – but the causes are a mystery
New research indicates a nearly 80% increase in cancer diagnoses among under-50s globally over the past three decades, with breast cancer being the most common early-onset cancer. The study highlights a rise in cancers typically associated with older age groups, such as bowel, stomach, and pancreatic cancers, in younger adults. Despite the increase, the causes remain largely unknown, though lifestyle factors and genetic conditions are considered contributors. The study calls for greater awareness and urgent research into early-onset cancers, emphasizing the importance of early detection and healthy lifestyle choices to mitigate risks.
Cancer is becoming more common among adults under 50 years. And experts can’t figure out why
Cancer is increasingly affecting adults under 50, with a 79% rise in early-onset cancer cases from 1990 to 2019. Breast cancer is the most common, while prostate and throat cancers are rising fastest. Deaths from early-onset cancers have also increased, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. The causes remain unclear, though lifestyle factors and genetic conditions play a role. Greater awareness and urgent research are needed to address this growing concern.
Cancer is rising in under-50s – but the causes are a mystery
New research indicates a nearly 80% increase in cancer diagnoses among under-50s globally over the past three decades, with breast, bowel, stomach, uterine, and pancreatic cancers becoming more common in younger adults. The study, which analyzed data from 204 countries between 1990 and 2019, found that early-onset cancer cases are expected to rise by an additional 31% by 2030. While lifestyle factors and genetic conditions contribute to the increase, the exact causes remain unclear. The research highlights the need for greater awareness and urgent investigation into early-onset cancers, particularly in low- and middle-income countries where death rates are higher.
Why are cancers increasing among those under 50?
New research indicates a significant increase in cancer diagnoses among individuals under 50 over the past 30 years, with an 80% rise in cases. The study highlights a concerning trend of younger adults developing cancers typically associated with older age groups, such as intestinal, stomach, breast, uterine, and pancreatic cancers. The research, covering data from 204 countries between 1990 and 2019, predicts a further 31% increase in early-onset cancer cases by 2030. Lifestyle factors like diet, alcohol, tobacco use, and obesity are linked to this rise, though genetic factors and other unknown causes also play a role. The study underscores the need for increased awareness and early detection to improve prognosis and calls for urgent national and international research to understand the underlying causes.
Cancer is rising in the under 50s but the causes are a mystery
Over the last few decades, cancer cases in individuals under 50 have tripled, with a nearly 80% increase in diagnoses globally. This rise includes cancers typically seen in older adults, such as bowel, stomach, breast, uterine, and pancreatic cancers, many of which have low survival rates due to late-stage diagnosis. The study analyzed data from 204 countries between 1990 and 2019, revealing a 79% increase in early-onset cancer cases and predicting a further 31% rise by 2030. While lifestyle factors like diet, alcohol consumption, smoking, and obesity may contribute, the exact causes remain unclear. The research underscores the need for greater awareness and urgent investigation into early-onset cancers, emphasizing the importance of a healthy lifestyle and early detection.
