Today we commemorate Human Rights Day in South Africa. On this day we remember the brave protestors who marched through Sharpeville, calling for equality and an end to apartheid.

Did you know that patients of colour have greater difficulty finding donor matches because our current registry of donors is not diverse enough

The best news after many years of advocacy! @SAHPRA1 has registered (Viatris) flucytosine in South Africa. This is a real landmark for HIV cryptococcal meningitis treatment and will FINALLY ensure that this essential antifungal medicine is widely available at all facilities
