Global Happenings
WHO is expanding access to quality-assured, child-friendly cancer medicines to improve treatment for children with cancer. The initiative supports reliable availability of appropriate medicines, helping health systems provide safer, effective and affordable care. Improved access aims to reduce treatment gaps and strengthen outcomes for children affected by cancer worldwide.
Haiti is facing a severe child nutrition crisis, with nearly one in thirteen children under five suffering from acute malnutrition. The situation is driven by food insecurity, poverty, displacement and limited access to healthcare. Urgent nutrition support, including screening, treatment and access to nutritious food, is essential to prevent further deterioration.
India and Sri Lanka have strengthened collaboration on food safety through knowledge exchange and sharing of technical expertise. The initiative focuses on improving food safety systems, strengthening regulatory practices, enhancing laboratory capacities, and promoting evidence-based approaches. Such cooperation aims to protect consumers, improve food quality, and strengthen national food safety frameworks.

This week on SHINE: Haiti
1 in 13 children under five in Haiti are suffering from acute malnutrition and the number has been climbing since 2023, according to UNICEF`s latest national nutrition survey (28 August 2023).
Behind that statistic are real children whose growth, immunity, and futures are being shaped by a crisis that`s often invisible until it`s severe.
This is exactly why SHINE exists.
Launched in 2021, SHINE is a global platform for Nutrition Informatics, the intersection of nutrition, information, and technology that underlies all areas of dietetics practice. We drive data-driven, evidence-based, human-centered nutrition interventions, programs, and policies worldwide.
📍 Every week, SHINE brings you:
- Global nutrition happenings
- Emerging evidence and research
- Policy updates
- Innovations and success stories
One platform. A healthier world.
