Improving cholera outbreak response in Angola's hardest-hit regions
With the severe cholera outbreak in Angola, residents are understandably alarmed. 'What can we do to avoid getting sick?' asked Maesso Damião, a resident of Zaire Province, to World Health Organization (WHO) public health experts who recently visited the province. The team responded with simple advice on food hygiene, water treatment, and seeking early medical treatment. 'This information can save our lives,' said Damião. In Angola, more than 25,000 cases and almost 800 deaths have been reported since the beginning of 2025 when the outbreak was declared. In Zaire Province, nearly 174 cases have been reported, with a very high case fatality rate of 5.7% as of 13 June 2025. Considering that 1% is the benchmark to indicate early and adequate treatment, the urgency to control the cholera outbreak is clear. During its week-long visit to Zaire, the multidisciplinary WHO team visited the municipalities of Soyo, Nzeto, and M'banza Kongo, where cholera has affected vulnerable communities, including fisherfolk and informal traders. The team's assessment revealed the challenges facing the response: treatment centres without adequate beds, shortages of materials, underreporting of cases, lack of sanitation, and difficulties in preparing chlorine solutions. The WHO team supported the improvement of the quality of care and biosafety (safe working practices when handling infectious agents) in four cholera treatment centres, the improvement of water safety, and distributed essential supplies and safe drinking water. They also trained 140 health professionals in epidemiological surveillance, clinical management, and infection prevention and control. 'WHO's support has enabled us to ensure crucial conditions to contain the outbreak, highlighting the importance of community involvement in disease prevention. This will allow us to adopt crucial measures for the future, prevent diseases and save lives,' said Zaire's Provincial Health Director, Dr João Bernardo. Collaboration with community leaders is essential to strengthen the response at the local level. More than 700 people took part in awareness-raising sessions at churches, beaches, and town squares. "Cholera is not only a medical emergency, but also an emergency of sanitation, treated water, information, dignity, and social justice. We must continue to work together to eliminate cholera and protect the population,' says Dr Raquel Medialdea-Carrera, WHO epidemiologist from WHO's Pandemic hub in Berlin and a member of the WHO team currently working on the ground in Angola. Dr Indrajit Hazarika, WHO Representative in Angola, reinforced the importance of this integrated approach: 'While the cholera outbreak is a cause for great concern, it also represents a critical opportunity for us to strengthen cooperation and the health systems and build more robust emergency preparedness. Our common goal is a healthier and more resilient Angola, and to that end, we hope we can count on everyone's support.' Distributed by APO Group on behalf of World Health Organization (WHO) - Angola.

Together, Lesotho's blood donors save lives
One afternoon in May 2025, 48-year-old Lebohang Pitso* from Lesotho's capital, Maseru, felt her life slipping away. Weakened from a bout of severe bleeding caused by cervical cancer, she sought emergency care at the city's renowned Senkatana Oncology Clinic. A few hours after being admitted and receiving a blood transfusion, she felt a powerful transformation take place in her body. 'It was like a heavy cover was removed from my face,' she says. 'The blood gave me life.' Moved by the experience, Pitso asked her family to give back. 'Four of my family members went to the blood bank and donated blood,' she says. 'Blood donors are doing a great job. If it were not for my condition, I would be a regular donor. I encourage those who can, to give life to others.' Lesotho Blood Transfusion Services is ramping up efforts to recruit and retain blood donors. It has implemented several strategic approaches, such as promoting blood donor clubs in schools and conducting mobile outreach blood donation drives, which have led to improved blood collection. In 2024, the institution carried out 165 mobile blood donation drives. Overall, there has been an almost 70% increase in the number of units collected between 2017 and 2024, from 5583 to 9411. 'But demand is higher than supply,' says Manaledi Makhetha, a phlebotomist at Lesotho Blood Transfusion Services. 'For example, the 180 units we collected during a week-long campaign this year were all used in just two days,' she says. The total number of units collected per year, although improved, still falls short of the annual target of 10 000 units. Makhetha screens donors, collects blood and ensures its safe delivery to various hospitals. 'The primary need for blood transfusions is maternal- and cancer-related cases and road traffic crash survivors, among others,' she says. On average, Senkatana Oncology Clinic uses 2‒3 pints of blood a day. Many cancer patients require frequent transfusions, as both the illness and treatment compromise blood production. Rethabile Makhetha, an oncology nurse at the clinic, recalls one morning when four patients needed blood, but the clinic only had sufficient units for three. 'Cancer is a long journey,' she says. 'The patients become family. When we can't help them due to blood shortages, it's devastating.' The Ministry of Health is increasing public awareness, advocating for regular donations and expanded infrastructure to meet increasing demand. 'With World Health Organization (WHO) and other partners supporting the Ministry of Health with guidelines, policies and campaign events, Lesotho is making strides,' says Stephen Monkoe, Director of Laboratory Services at the Ministry of Health. 'We are grateful to partners and donors alike. Blood donors are our heroes.' Every year on 14 June countries mark World Blood Donor Day, as a tribute to unpaid blood donors who save lives, strengthen communities and show solidarity with others. The day is also an opportunity to highlight the ongoing need for safe, regular blood donations. 'It is imperative that everyone, from citizens to community leaders, private and public partners, and government, redouble our efforts to strengthen the national blood service,' says Thato Mxakaza, Health Promotion Officer in WHO's country office in Lesotho. 'By investing in vigorous collection, safe processing, and equitable distribution, we ensure that the profound gift of blood translates into sustained life and renewed hope for every recipient.' In Maseru, 32-year-old Nthomeng Leuta encourages others to become regular blood donors. Curious to know her blood type, she began donating blood at high school. She discovered she was type O negative, the only blood type that can be transfused to any recipient and is therefore critical during emergencies when a recipient's blood type is unknown. Motivated by her special status as a 'universal blood donor' she jokingly refers to the blood bank her 'second home.' Leuta's most precious memory is when she responded to a social media post from a man whose wife urgently needed a blood transfusion for an emergency caesarean section. Leuta responded, and the result of her donation was a healthy mother and baby boy. 'The husband called me to inform me how I had saved two lives that are so dear to him,' she says. 'I felt humbled and so happy.' Distributed by APO Group on behalf of World Health Organization (WHO) - Lesotho.

The future of medical schemes depends on technology, trust and transformation
In an era where technology advances are transforming every aspect of our lives, accessing information about healthcare should be just as seamless and efficient. The complexities of dealing with a medical scheme can seem daunting, and technology can significantly reduce these complexities and improve access to the right information at the right time – imagine effortlessly managing your healthcare needs online, much like booking travel or managing your finances. Kevin Aron, principal officer at Medshield Medical Scheme We understand that medical aid members want clear, simple, and fast access to their benefits. They want to feel supported when they are unwell and before problems start, and most importantly, they want options that match their digital or face-to-face preferences. Improving efficiency while enhancing the member experience Most members contribute a significant portion of their monthly budget to their medical scheme. It's only fair that those contributions are used efficiently. The less we spend on administration, the more we can direct toward members' healthcare services. That's why Medshield has invested in digital systems that reduce costs and streamline operations. We have automated processes that integrate with communication channels and other digital tools to improve processing and overall efficiency. This allows us more time to focus on what matters most: caring for our members. Medshield members now have more ways to engage with the Scheme beyond traditional phone calls or email correspondence. Our member mobile app and WhatsApp service channel allow members to access important information and services at their convenience 24/7. We launched our enhanced Medshield member app at the end of last year, which resulted in a 20% increase in usage. We are continuously monitoring the uptake to ensure long-term value. Many members continue to supplement app use with calls to our call centre, suggesting that confidence in digital-only services is still developing. Current development priorities include improving app functionality for automated hospital authorisations and chronic medication approvals. For example, members could input procedure reasons directly into the app, reducing the need to phone the contact centre. It has the potential to simplify a currently manual process. In addition, Medshield is exploring further digital service enhancements. Predicting and managing clinical risk Beyond operational and access improvements, Medshield proactively uses technology to manage clinical risk. By applying artificial intelligence and predictive modelling with clinical biomarkers, the Scheme identifies members who may be at risk of hospital admission within the next three to six months. Once these members are identified, the Scheme provides clinical support, including clinical coaching or referral to a general practitioner or specialist. The goal is to prevent unwarranted admissions, reduce the need for emergency care, and improve health outcomes for our members and their families. Technology is also being used to identify members likely to be readmitted post-discharge, for example, due to wound infections. Early engagement helps to identify clinical risk, prevent complications and avoid unnecessary re-hospitalisation. In addition, Medshield is piloting facial scan technology that can analyse up to 20 clinical health parameters from a person's facial image. Medshield is utilising this as a mass digital health screening tool to direct members to appropriate care to reduce high-cost episodes and to support earlier intervention. Behaviour change and lifestyle health Lifestyle-related diseases remain one of the most significant cost drivers for medical schemes. Conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and obesity are closely linked to behaviours such as inactivity, poor diet, and unmanaged stress. Medshield is working to address this through behaviour change programmes like Medshield Mind and Medshield Movement. These initiatives support members with educational materials, coaching, and practical advice for managing their health, including child and family-focused interventions. One proof of concept currently underway has shown that members living with type 2 diabetes can reduce or stop medication with consistent lifestyle improvements while under medical supervision. This programme aims to empower members to improve their quality of life. Interventions are tailored based on a member's clinical risk profile, ranging from low-touch digital education to personalised nurse coaching. Due to current regulations under the Medical Schemes Act, the Scheme cannot offer financial incentives for improved health outcomes. However, behaviour change remains a key focus area in chronic disease management. Remaining accessible beyond digital tools Although the demand for access to digital channels continues to increase, many members still prefer to meet in person. Medshield has made enhancements to our regional offices and walk-in centres and recently relocated our Cape Town and Durban branches after conducting a survey and engaging with members to understand their needs. Looking ahead, the Scheme is reviewing its benefit design for the 2026 cycle with a strong focus on prevention. With one of the highest solvency ratios in the industry, Medshield is well-positioned to consider enhancements to its preventative benefits while aiming to limit contribution increases. Additional efforts are focused on predicting avoidable healthcare episodes and ensuring members are guided toward appropriate care earlier in their treatment journey. In today's healthcare environment, members want more than just cover. They want easy access to support, whether online or in person, which helps them stay healthier for longer. Medshield adapts to these changing needs by using innovative technology, enhancing day-to-day processes, and proactively addressing health issues before they escalate. It's about making healthcare work better for real people in real life.
