Victoire Odia, Nurse, Ngandajika territory, Lomami province, Democratic Republic of the Congo:
"With the women's group approach, we have set up a system of close monitoring through networking, which has enabled pregnant women from the age of 32 weeks to take a roundabout route to arrive at the maternity hospital in time for the assisted birth. Their stays were paid for by the women's group solidarity fund."

Bundibugyo: Uganda has discharged the last person being treated for Ebola and has now started the 42 day countdown before health authorities can officially declare the outbreak over in the country. Get our Bundibugyo certification: https://go.learning.foundation/tglf/courses/32221

Across the border, the Democratic Republic of the Congo is still fighting hard, with 2,124 confirmed cases and 828 deaths reported as of July 16, most of them in Ituri province.

One important detail stands out for health workers everywhere: 92.3% of nearly 430 investigated deaths happened in the community or before the person even reached a health facility.

This tells us that the biggest problem is not only treatment, it is delay in detection and referral.

🌍 In Uganda, 20 people were confirmed with Ebola, 18 have recovered, and only 2 died, showing that fast detection and strong community trust can save lives.

🌍 In DRC, most deaths still happen before a sick person reaches care, which means community health workers and local le

Nicolas Kashama Saidia, Nutritionist, Ministry of Health, Kabare territory, Democratic Republic of the Congo:
"In my community, Kavumu in particular, people have rallied round to buy a plot of land and build a health centre themselves to bring them closer healthcare."

Menopause affects every woman who lives long enough. Yet in most health systems, it is invisible. No screening. No vocabulary. No budget. Read the full article: https://redasadki.me/2026/05/31/beyond-the-hot-flash-a-primer-for-health-workers-about-menopause/

Women suffer in silence. And the system looks the other way.

This primer is for health workers who want to change that.

You will leave with a shared language for the stages, symptoms, and screening of menopause care — and simple screening questions you can integrate into routine visits tomorrow.

When the system breaks, how do you provide care? When an older patient leaves your clinic with multiple chronic conditions, when there is no formal pension to pay for their care, or when a family caregiver is too exhausted to continue — how do you ensure both health and dignity?

Jean-Richard Mutombo, Programme officer, NGO, Tshibuba, Democratic Republic of the Congo:
"Today, we have mobilised some resources from generous people living in the towns to build a health centre in the village of Tshibuba. Work has already started and the foundation stage will be completed in 10 days' time. The local population is helping by collecting water, sand and local labour."

Geh Raphaela Agwa, Midwife, Ministry of Health, Bomaka Community, Buea, Cameroon:
"The quarter heads realized that everything was slow when it rained that much. So everyone from each household was called upon to dig the gutters so that cars could move even though it rained heavily."
On 28 July 2026, our AI co-worker refused to release two finished reports. Read the full article: https://www.learning.foundation/2026/07/29/research-in-the-age-of-artificial-intelligence-early-learning-from-our-insights-pipeline/

A script had compared every quotation against the raw course exports, character by character.

It flagged 17 it could not match, and the pipeline stopped.

The diagnosis took an hour and taught us more than success would have.

14 of those quotations were verbatim, and the checker itself had the gaps.

Three had been quietly smoothed by the drafting model.

A tidied space. A softened phrase.

The reports analysed what 323 health professionals did and learned about gender in emergencies.

They also asked what those professionals collectively know about power, safety, and dignity.

A health worker in Kano who writes 300 careful words about hierarchy has produced knowledge.

Paraphrasing her into a smoother sentence she never wrote is expropriation.

So when the report says 63% of submissions name hierarchy as a barrier, the number carries its own epistemology.

At least 63%, measured by a method whose known bias runs downward.

15 of 19 codes failed our reliability floor, and both reports print that table.

One revision made by a human ballooned a code from 13% to 60% overnight, and the gates caught it.

The pipeline defended itself against its own maintainer, which is the point of gates.

Version 4.0 of TGLF's non-human Insights Team is open source, with a replication bundle of 72 files and a hash for every one.

You do not have to trust us. You can re-run it.

Did you miss it? Yesterday, health workers celebrated three years of action in response to the impacts of climate change on health. Discover the full story: https://www.learning.foundation/2026/07/28/climate-and-health-celebrating-three-years-of-local-action/

On 28 July 2023, 4,700 health workers from 68 countries logged on alone, each in a small room with a poor connection, to answer one question. Is climate change a threat to the health of the people you serve.

A pharmacist in Nigeria described her flooded street and the mosquitoes breeding in the pools. A volunteer in Kenya read his own logbook aloud, positive malaria tests tripled in five years.

That single afternoon became a corpus of learning, a certificate programme, and two global surveys reaching thousands of practitioners across Africa, Asia, and Latin America. The Lancet Countdown now cites this kind of frontline testimony in its country profiles.

The places where they work have names. So do they.

Konan Kouamé Georges, Public health medical doctor, Ministry of Health, Yopougon Health District, Côte d'Ivoire:
"The rainy season led us to observe a dengue epidemic in 2023. Epidemiological surveillance has been stepped up, with dengue and malaria rapid tests being carried out on suspected cases and data being transmitted on a daily basis instead of on a weekly basis."

Maiga Nana Jacqueline, Midwife, Ministry of Health, Fada District, Burkina Faso:
"Some roads are impassable during the winter months, making healthcare inaccessible. To remedy this, village midwives from these communities have been trained to assist in childbirth. This state of affairs is all the more satisfying in that hygienic deliveries are taking place without complications."

The Geneva Learning Foundation just published a new tool for health workers who carry climate emergencies alone. Read the full article: https://www.learning.foundation/2026/08/03/7-30-climate-health-emergency-framework/

When the road floods, a health worker finds another way to reach a woman in labour.

When the heat rises, she changes her clinic hours.

When the rains fail and children arrive hungry, she acts with what she has.

She does this unpaid, often without being reimbursed for transport or airtime.

The new 7-30 CHEF, the Climate Health Emergency Framework, gives that work a shape.

It sorts a climate emergency into three phases built around two numbers a health worker can hold in her head under pressure.

The 7 covers the seven days after a warning, when risks are reviewed and roles are clear.

The 30 covers the thirty days after an event starts, when services stabilize and one lesson is recorded for next time.

Response is what happens in between, starting when the situation demands it, not on a f

TGLF Scholar Newsletter Issue 6 (EN)
New malaria vaccines, medicines, antibodies, and nets are here or close. Issue 6 of The Geneva Learning Foundation (TGLF)’s Scholar Newsletter explains each one. Read the full newsletter: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/you-tglfs-newsletter-6-geneva-learning-foundation-9p5kf/

The Geneva Learning Foundation trains people who work for health.

More than 80,000 of them, across over 90 countries, read this newsletter.

Here is what is in this issue.

A certification that walks through every new malaria tool, then asks what it changes where you work.

The 7-30 Climate-Health Emergency Framework, free to download in English and French.

It gives shape to what you already do when the road floods or the heat rises.

A course on floods, which arrive as a closed road, a dead refrigerator, a well that tastes of sewage.

A certification on brain health, for communities living through war, disaster, displacement, or poverty.

A leadership framework grounded in a manifesto that 1,300 people helped draft.

And a new address for all of it: www.learning.foundation.

There are also six new stories from people who work for health.

Lillian Mutua counts a flood differently from a meteorologist.

She started with more than 100 dead in the central business district of Nairobi.

Then she kept going, into the losses that only show up weeks later.

The Geneva Learning Foundation just published a Leadership framework built from the collective experience of more than 1,300 people who work for health. Read the full article: https://www.learning.foundation/2026/08/03/tglf-leadership-framework/

A health worker has more to do this week than the week has hours.

The list only gets longer.

She already has plans.

What she needs is a way to make them happen, and to make them work for her community.

In 2023, The Geneva Learning Foundation published the Manifesto for global health, drafted with input from more than 1,300 people who work for health.

The new Leadership framework builds on that collective experience.

It helps a health worker figure out where she stands as a leader, and chart her path to lead better for her community.

The framework has two parts.

Nine domains name what she does: adaptive leadership, community trust, digital skills, resource mobilization, climate and One Health, humanitarian protection, psychosocial leadership, networked learnin
