NLM has made available a collection of reproduced documents from the 1932 U.S. Public Health Service Untreated Syphilis Study at Tuskegee. It can now be viewed as part of the NLM Digital Collections. The U.S. Public Health Service is part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). HHS and its divisions, including The National Institutes of Health, have built mechanisms into review, funding, and management of research projects to ensure that research participants are protected. NIH is making these documents more broadly available to ensure this chapter in history is never repeated and build greater trust in current biomedical research through transparency.

The Government of Canada released in partnership with First Nations, Inuit & Metis, an Action Plan to identify measures to help ensure federal laws are consistent to achieving the objectives of the UNDA. While the Action Plan is another step along our collective journey of reconciliation together; it is not an end point. Reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples, recognizing their right to fair and equal access to quality and culturally safe health services free from racism and discrimination anywhere in Canada, including seamless service delivery across jurisdictions, requires meaningful engagement and work with Indigenous organizations and governments. At Health Canada we continue to work with Indigenous partners to address key health priorities such as, health services, MAID, palliative and end of life care and the elimination of discrimination in health systems.

🌎 Major Leap in Public Health! 🌍 I'm excited to share news that signifies a significant milestone in global health collaboration. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have established a new regional office in Panama. 🔍 [ https://lnkd.in/eNpWQcNA ] This strategic move is not just a victory for Panama, but for the entire Latin American region. It represents a deeper commitment to public health, disease prevention, and preparedness across Latin America. 🤝 According to the Press Release, the Panama office will serve as a pivotal hub, fostering collaborations and building capacities to tackle health challenges throughout the region. This highlights that global health security is a priority and that effective responses require global cooperation and robust local partnerships. 🌐 Importantly, the choice of Panama as the location underscores the country's strategic importance as a connection hub and gateway for Latin America. This not only reinforces Panama's role in the region but also highlights its critical contribution to global health. 🔬 The presence of the CDC in Panama emphasizes the importance of surveillance, research, and innovation in addressing current and future health crises. Let's celebrate this initiative as a positive step towards a healthier, safer world. Feel free to share your thoughts on this development! #PublicHealth #GlobalHealth #CDC #Panama #LatinAmerica #HealthSecurity #Collaboration
