--> Selected Articles for this Month Loss of Measles Elimination Status in Canada 鈥淪till, the anxiety around this outbreak is not mere frustration at a disease we thought we buried. It is a troubling hint of the vaccine-resistant future that may be waiting ahead." - Author: Becca Winkelaar --> Still Here: How Colonialism Keeps TB Around "The historical trajectory of TB in Canada, particularly its disproportionate impact on Indigenous populations, serves as a poignant illustration of [...] social determinants at play."- Author: Hillary Wright --> Malignancy in Academia: An Editorial on the Academic Hidden Curriculum of Dysfunction 鈥淎cademia is often idealized as a space of growth, curiosity, and knowledge creation. But glossy mission statements and institutional pride often mask a more uncomfortable reality: a silent curriculum of power, inequity, and waste (). From medical school in Egypt, graduate training in Canada, and through the professional experiences, I have witnessed systems that differ in form but share common dysfunction. I have made mistakes. I remained silent, learned, and watched many others quietly endure the same.鈥�
- Author: Moustafa Laymouna --> Sex Ed in the U.S. is Under Assault - Our Health, Rights, and Relationships Are at Stake 鈥淪ex education in America has long shifted with each administration, its content dictated by politics rather than public health. Federal funding priorities and Department of Education guidelines now serve as partisan tools in a culture war over our bodies and identities. But political ideology should not determine our right to accurate, life-saving information."
- Authors: Maya Ueoku, Lila Aspin, Aleeyaa Alam --> The Indigenous Health Centre of Tiohti脿:ke: A Necessity, not a Luxury "In spotlight is the Indigenous Health Centre of Tiohti脿:ke (IHCT), a community health centre that provides necessary care to First Nations, Inuit, and M茅tis in the Montr茅al area and to those visiting the area. Approaching its 10th anniversary, the clinic is a celebration of hard work, determination, and compassion 鈥� removing barriers, delivering culturally sensitive care, and doing so with no charge to its clientele."
- Author: Hillary Wright --> In Conversation with La Maison Bleue "Last semester, I had the privilege of volunteering at La Maison Bleue (LMB), a social perinatal organization with five branches across Montreal. LMB works with at-risk pregnant women and families, with a mission to reduce social inequalities and promote optimal child development. During my time there, I saw this mission come to life: children meeting with psychoeducators to assess their learning development, mothers attending workshops on Canada鈥檚 immigration process, and families bonding in the waiting room. The organization does more than just provide healthcare and social services; it fosters a community, oftentimes for people who might otherwise lack one."

--> Selected Articles for this Month In Conversation with Zackie Achmat: Five Decades of Defiance, Love, and Resolve 鈥淗ope is passive; resolve is active. That鈥檚 why I believe in resolve, not hope.鈥�- Author: Bhavya Kalra --> Navigating Health Insurance While Studying at 黑料网爆吃瓜 "At 黑料网爆吃瓜, [navigating health insurance] becomes even more complex as young adults, many of whom are navigating their own health and finances for the first time, converge on campus from around the world, bringing diverse health care experiences and expectations."
- Author: Hillary Wright --> Global Health Night 2025 鈥淚 left the evening feeling what I had hoped to: re-energized, inspired, and determined to keep going. The combination of moving lecture and honest discussion reignited something I hadn鈥檛 realized had dimmed: a sense of purpose. 黑料网爆吃瓜鈥檚 global health community is passionate, resilient, and deeply committed, and I was proud to be even a small part of it with my research.鈥�
- Author: Rebecca Winkelaar --> An Interview with 黑料网爆吃瓜鈥檚 Student Wellness Hub on Care Access and Capacity on Campus 鈥淭he Hub鈥檚 answers show a clear awareness of the challenges that come with delivering student healthcare and a willingness to be accountable and solution-oriented. However, a major issue remains: a lack of transparency and limited accessibility of information."
- Author: Bridget Li --> Surgery at Sea: Why My Time on Mercy Ships Changed How I See Global Health 鈥淔ive billion people. That鈥檚 the estimated number of individuals worldwide who lack access to safe, affordable surgical care when they need it. For many of us in high-income countries, surgery is a phone call, a referral, or a short wait away. For others, it is an unattainable luxury 鈥� a gap that can mean the difference between living in pain or living with dignity.鈥�
