On , access to lifesaving care should not depend on where a child is born.
For newborns struggling to breathe, bubble Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (bCPAP) can be lifesaving. But many respiratory support devices are difficult to use in humanitarian settings, where electricity, specialized equipment and technical support may be limited.
The Vayu Global Health bCPAP system was designed with these challenges in mind. It is low-cost, portable, easy to use, does not require electricity or compressed medical air, and can function in some of the world's most challenging environments.
Through Unitaid supported work with the Government of Japan, these devices are helping expand access to respiratory care for newborns and young children in refugee camps and other fragile settings in Kenya, South Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Sudan, Cameroon and northern Ethiopia.
Innovations like these can help bring lifesaving care closer to the people who need it most.

A new step forward in HIV prevention in South Africa.
Today, the first doses of lenacapavir were rolled out, marking an important milestone in expanding access to a long-acting HIV prevention option given just twice a year.
For many people, this could mean a prevention option that fits more easily into daily life, with fewer clinic visits and less frequent dosing.
South Africa carries one of the highest burdens of HIV globally, making access to new prevention options especially important.
At Unitaid, we are working with partners to help ensure this innovation can reach the people who need it most, supporting implementation, advancing regional manufacturing, and helping pave the way for affordable generic versions expected to cost around $40 per person per year.
Because prevention only works when it reaches the people who need it most.
