Namibia was certified polio free since October 2008 and had continued routine and national immunization campaigns to maintain its polio free status. However, the country remains at high risk for vaccine derived polio viruses due to low detection of Acute Flaccid Paralysis cases in the bordering regions which is used as an indicator to measure how sensitive the surveillance system is. In addition, there is high number of un and under vaccinated children along the Namibian- Angolan and Namibia-Zambia border with 5 densely populated regions bordering these two countries.  Both Angola and Zambia had reported confirmed cases of Vaccine Derived Polio Virus type 2 in 2019 and implemented campaigns with monovalent oral polio vaccine type 2.  As a result, the WHO Namibia in collaboration with MoHSS has intensified polio surveillance along these borders and other health districts that are considered high risk such as Windhoek, Okahandja, Otjiwarongo, Tsumeb, Oshakati and Onandj...

News Release Monday, November 15, 2021 NIH scientists say the approach may be a novel way to treat pneumonia in humans. Researchers at the National Institutes of Health have discovered a therapy that targets host cells rather than bacterial cells in treating bacterial pneumonia in rodents. The method involves white blood cells of the immune system called macrophages that eat bacteria, and a group of compounds that are naturally produced in mice and humans called epoxyeicosatrienoic acids or EETs. The research was published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation. According to the World Health Organization, pneumonia caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae, or pneumococcal pneumonia, is the leading cause of pneumonia deaths worldwide each year. While physicians usually prescribe antibiotics to treat this severe lung infection, treatment is not always successful, and in some cases, the bacteria become resistant.
