Nurses, ambulance workers, and other NHS workers in England

the government was forced to rescind a controversial circular on doctors'
duty after pressures from trade unions.

a strong commitment to solidarity and collaboration, although some groups
still lack adequate access to tuberculosis care.

the Accra Collective of the Socialist Movement has called for urgent action
to address a new malaria threat, which is putting thousands of people at
risk of illness and death. Ghana also approved a new malaria vaccine that
