"In 1974, the World Health Organization launched its Expanded Programme on Immunization. Now, 50 years later, a study shows that an estimated 154 million deaths have been averted thanks to vaccination. In 2024, a child under 10 years of age is 40% more likely to survive to their next birthday. The study published today in The Lancet was led by Swiss TPH in collaboration with WHO and numerous research organisations."

"L’auxiliaire de santé Rashmila n’a pas hésité à quitter son emploi bien rémunéré de conseillère en études stratégiques à Katmandou pour dispenser des soins médicaux aux habitant·e·s du district reculé de Sindhulpalchok, au pied de l’Himalaya.

So können sie abklären, ob den Menschen vor Ort etwas fehlt. Zum Beispiel auch in Sindhupalchowk in Nepal."
