⁠In many remote communities, infectious disease is still the leading killer of children under five. But health workers lack the tools to act in time. The Spot Sepsis study showcased at Scientific Days 2025 and published today in @NatureMedicine changes that Stay up to date with the latest developments by attending this year's Scientific Days 2026! …stration.msfscientificdays2026.org.uk/msfsdi26/regis…

⁠What if a pulse oximeter or a simple point of care blood test could help save a child's life for as little as $26 per life-year? That's the finding from our landmark Spot Sepsis study. Simple tools. Transformative impact. #GlobalHealth #MSF

🔊📢New research from @MSF & @UniofOxford showcased at Scientific Days 2025 published today! Current WHO criteria may miss nearly half of children at risk of dying from sepsis. Our new triage tools identify 89% — at a fraction of the referral rate. A potential gamechanger for remote & conflict-affected settings. #SpotSepsis #MSFSci

What if malaria vaccination could reach children through systems already in place? Cluster-randomised trials in Burkina Faso, Mali & Chad show promising coverage delivering the R21 vaccine via seasonal malaria chemoprevention. Learn more about this study at #msfcidays.

On #WorldMalariaDay, new evidence shows it’s possible to do more with what’s already working. Delivering the R21 malaria vaccine as seasonal mass vaccination achieved strong coverage and valuable community insights across Burkina Faso, Mali & Chad. #MalariaEndsWithUs #R21Vaccine

On #WorldMalariaDay🌍 Building on last year’s commemoration, our Co-Directors @drbhargavirao, @mjdelves, @DrNiyo, & partners share a joint commentary calling for sustained investment, stronger collaboration, & renewed political will to #EndMalaria Read👉bit.ly/42xLrcw

On #WorldTBDay, MSF's infectious disease advisor Animesh Sinha highlights the shift toward patient-centred TB care — where community engagement & technology are transforming diagnosis, treatment adherence, and monitoring. The future of TB care puts patients first. 🫁💙 Watch here youtube.com/live/XlRd_CDLD…

No child should die from a disease that's treatable and preventable. 🫁 On World Tuberculosis Day, we are showing that children should, and can, be placed at the heart of global tuberculosis response. msf.org/msf-demands-su…

🧪@DNDi used pharmacokinetic modelling to better understand how liposomal amphotericin B behaves in treating post-kala-azar dermal leishmaniasis. 💊 The findings could help optimise dosing and improve patient outcomes. 🌍 Strengthening evidence for neglected tropical diseases is key to safer, more effective care. #MSFsci #NTDs #Leishmaniasis #GlobalHealth #ClinicalResearch #DNDi ascpt.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/cp…

🧬@MSF highlights innovative HIV service delivery approaches in Mozambique and the Democratic Republic of Congo in @PLOSONE. 🏥 Task sharing for point-of-care testing involving both lay and professional health workers could help close critical gaps in high-burden settings. 🌍 Smarter workforce models may be key to saving more lives. #MSFsci #HIV #GlobalHealth #TaskSharing #HealthSystems #MSF journals.plos.org/plosone/articl… journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…

📢@MSF highlight the stark health inequity among displaced populations in @TheLancet, highlighting the heightened vulnerability of undocumented migrants. 🏥 The authors stress that gaps in health-care access leave many without essential services and exposed to preventable health risks. #MSFsci #HealthEquity #GlobalHealth #MigrationHealth #HumanitarianAction thelancet.com/journals/lance…

🚨@MSF has contributed to a policy statement highlighting the devastating and complex impact of armed conflict on children and adolescents. 🏥It reinforces the urgent need to protect children in conflict settings and strengthen medical, psychological, and social support systems where they’re needed most. #MSFsci #GlobalHealth #ChildHealth #HumanitarianAction publications.aap.org/pediatrics/art…

🌍@Epicentre_MSF sheds new light on cholera transmission patterns. 🧬 By sequencing 763 Vibrio cholerae genomes, researchers show outbreaks are interconnected across borders - not confined to one country. 🚨 Stronger cross-border surveillance & collaboration among African Union states is key to better predicting and responding to spread. #MSFsci #Outbreaks #Cholera #GlobalHealth nature.com/articles/s4146…

🌍 New @MSF research in @PLOS Computational Biology highlights how we might better control cholera outbreaks Modelling suggests that expanding antibiotics to both severe and moderately ill patients could reduce overall outbreak size📉 But caution is key: increased use must be balanced against the risk of antibiotic resistance 🧬 #MSFsci #GlobalHealth #Cholera #PublicHealth #AntibioticResistance #MSF journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/a…

In 2025, in South Sudan, MSF suffered eight targeted attacks, forcing the closure of two hospitals and the suspension of its medical activities in Upper Nile, Jonglei and Central Equatoria. As a result, hundreds of thousands of people were deprived of care.
