The World Health Organization (WHO) Executive Board faced a grim reckoning on Thursday in a report detailing how global progress on maternal, infant and child nutrition has largely stalled or even regressed.

"Spain announced this week that it would tighten its social media laws, aiming to ban access for children under the age of 16 as part of a global tide against electronic platforms.

Over the past two decades, global efforts against NTDs have reduced disease burden and improved people’s health and well-being in many settings. What comes next will depend on whether we have the tools – such as safe and efficacious drugs, vaccines and development pipelines – needed to build on these gains and extend them further.
