Action saves lives: Safer care starts with clean hands

Every year on 5 May, health facilities mark World Hand Hygiene Day. For AMCE, this year’s message is not distant or ceremonial. It is about what happens in the few seconds before we touch a patient, handle a line, adjust a catheter, examine a wound, move between bed spaces, or enter the next clinical task. Hand hygiene is not complicated, but it depends on a real decision made many times a day: stop, clean your hands, and protect the person in front of you. These five moments apply in every AMCE clinical area: the Oncology ward, Transplant unit, Dialysis centre,…

Reimagining Hope for People Living with Sickle Cell Disease in Africa

For people living with sickle cell disease, hope is often measured in small victories; a month without a pain crisis, fewer nights spent in emergency rooms and the freedom to plan life without the constant fear of the next crisis episode.

The World Health Organization[1] estimates that around 7.7 million people worldwide are living…

The World Health Organisation estimates that cancer deaths in Africa will increase by more than 85% by 2030, driven by population growth, ageing, and limited access to timely diagnosis and treatment. For decades, patients facing complex diagnoses have often been compelled to seek treatment overseas, shouldering significant travel, time and financial burdens. This pattern of outbound medical travel has shaped healthcare expectations and reinforced…
