Covid's Impact on Blood Vessels Raises Long-Term Health Concerns
New research has highlighted the significant long-term effects of Covid-19 on vascular health, revealing that even mild infections can accelerate the aging of blood vessels. The study shows that arterial stiffness increases by approximately five years, particularly in women, raising concerns about the long-term risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attacks and strokes. According to the findings, blood vessels of individuals who had contracted Covid-19 exhibit signs of premature aging, with the most striking effects seen in those who experienced mild cases of the virus. While severe Covid infections have been widely associated with acute damage to various organs, including the heart, this new evidence suggests that even mild or asymptomatic infections may carry hidden cardiovascular risks that could emerge years later. The phenomenon of accelerated vascular aging is believed to result from the inflammatory response triggered by the virus, which disrupts the normal functioning of blood vessels. This heightened inflammation leads to increased stiffness in the arteries, a condition that can result in poor blood flow and elevate the likelihood of future cardiovascular complications. The research underscores how Covid-19's effects extend beyond the acute phase of the infection, revealing lasting damage that may go undetected until much later in life. ADVERTISEMENT Experts suggest that women may be particularly vulnerable to this vascular aging, as the study found that they showed more pronounced arterial stiffness than men post-infection. This finding is concerning, given the growing body of research highlighting gender-specific differences in how Covid-19 impacts various aspects of health. Women, especially those in their middle age or older, may face an increased risk of developing hypertension or other heart-related conditions in the years following a mild Covid infection. Vaccinated individuals appear to have a degree of protection against the vascular changes associated with the virus. The study suggests that those who had received the Covid vaccine showed less arterial stiffness, implying that vaccination may reduce some of the long-term cardiovascular risks tied to the virus. This adds another layer of evidence supporting the benefits of vaccination, not just in preventing acute illness but also in mitigating potential long-term health consequences. While the findings are concerning, they also open the door to important preventative measures that can help mitigate the effects of vascular aging. Health professionals are advising individuals who have had Covid-19, particularly those who were mildly affected, to closely monitor their cardiovascular health. Regular check-ups, including blood pressure monitoring and cholesterol testing, may become even more crucial for those who have recovered from the virus. The long-term implications of Covid-19 on cardiovascular health are still being explored, with experts calling for further studies to better understand how these vascular changes could impact public health in the years ahead. Researchers also stress the importance of identifying early biomarkers of vascular damage, which could help in the development of treatments or interventions to reverse or slow down the process of arterial aging. As the pandemic continues to evolve and more data becomes available, the health community is grappling with the broader implications of Covid-19 beyond its immediate effects. While vaccines and public health measures have drastically reduced the number of severe cases, the subtle, long-term health consequences of mild infections may only be fully understood in the coming years.

Madagascar Shows Commitment to Improving Cancer Care, with Focus on Women's Health
An international review has found that Madagascar has laid strong foundations for cancer control, expanding cervical cancer services, maintaining a health workforce and ensuring collaboration between health and radiation safety authorities. The joint imPACT review by the IAEA, World Health Organization (WHO) and International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC, highlighted the need to further develop oncology professionals and mobilize resources to increase access to cancer care across the country. Cancer claims more than 14 000 lives in Madagascar every year, with women more affected than men with 8 000 deaths. The country registers over 20,000 new cancer cases annually, according to 2022 IARC estimates. Incidence rates are expected to rise with increasing risk factors and an aging population. In June 2025, a team of 13 international experts nominated by the three organizations visited the main healthcare and specialized facilities in the country to conduct the imPACT review – which provides a baseline assessment of services to support Madagascar as the country develops its first comprehensive national cancer governance document. The experts held discussions with national and local health authorities, medical professionals and other stakeholders, and presented preliminary findings to the Minister of Health. 'The Malagasy government is committed to improving cancer care in the country,' Minister of Health Randriamanantany Zely Arivelo said. 'This imPACT assessment is very timely, as we will use its findings to finalize our country's first national cancer control plan.' Focus on Women's Cancers The most common cancer among women in Madagascar is cervical cancer, with a mortality rate of 30 per cent, followed by breast and colorectal cancers. In men, prostate, liver cancer and non-Hodgkin lymphoma are the most common cancers, driven by infectious diseases. The team assessed all elements that can impact cancer care in the country. These include factors such as governance, resources and regulatory frameworks for radiation safety, and components such as surveillance, referral networks, early diagnostic capacities, oncology workforce development opportunities, and readiness for advanced and expanded radiotherapy services. 'The strength of the imPACT review lies in its analysis of the entire cancer continuum,' said Laurent Musango, WHO Representative in Madagascar. 'The assessment reveals a solid foundation for integrating cancer control at the community level, and the potential for an overall strengthening of health systems in terms of prevention and early diagnosis.' The review found that Madagascar has been steadfast in boosting cancer services since a previous assessment in 2015. The country has expanded cervical cancer prevention, with pre-cancerous lesion screening already available and HPV vaccination set to start in October and has undertaken important efforts to modernize and distribute imaging services. The national health system also has an established and overall qualified health workforce, with six faculties of medicine available to train specialized health professionals – particularly in surgery, a critical aspect in cancer treatment. Boosting Capacity for Cancer Care The team recommended that Madagascar continue building capacity to increase and retain human resources in oncology professionals. It also urged further strengthening of radiation safety in medicine and long-term maintenance of existing equipment in nuclear medicine and radiotherapy centres. 'Radiation safety for the protection of patients, public and staff is foundational to providing comprehensive cancer diagnosis and treatment,' said Vasiliki Kamenopoulou, a radiation safety specialist at the IAEA who participated in the imPACT review. 'The Malagasy government is encouraged to reinforce the legal and regulatory framework for safety and bring it in line with the IAEA safety standards.' The review noted that Madagascar should also reinforce prevention and early detection actions for other priority cancers, including working with communities for greater breast cancer awareness and boosting pathology services with additional laboratory staff, equipment and supplies. Partnerships to Expand Services Looking forward, the imPACT review recommended strategies to support Madagascar mobilize resources for cancer control, such as the development of bankable documents to facilitate loans and public-private sector partnerships. The IAEA's Programme of Action for Cancer Therapy and Rays of Hope initiative support countries in bridging gaps in cancer care through partnerships with donors, the private sector and financial institutions. Through its technical cooperation and human health programmes, the IAEA also supports countries in strengthening the quality of nuclear and radiation medicine by providing capacity building, provision of equipment, technical advice and advisory services.
