Good news for patients who need endoscopy and colonoscopy procedures but are hesitant due to their intrusive nature: Aga Khan University Hospital has introduced capsule endoscopy, a non-invasive alternative. Capsule endoscopy uses a tiny wireless camera inside a vitamin-sized capsule that the patient swallows. As the capsule travels through the digestive tract, the camera takes thousands of pictures, transmitting them to a recorder worn on a belt around the patient’s waist.

Even though HIV still lingers, with 1.5 million people contracting the infection every year, epidemiologists point to the availability of many HIV prevention options as a primary reason for the decreasing caseload. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), over the past two decades, new HIV infections decreased by 49%, HIV-related deaths decreased by 61% and an estimated 18.6 million lives were saved because of new treatments that minimise the infection and prevent its spread.

Trust. It’s the vital ingredient in almost every successful relationship. Romantic partnerships, friendships, and even business relationships all hinge on trust. The same is true on a much bigger societal level. Take healthcare, for example.

While the country’s healthcare system performs better on trust than other big regional players on the continent (according to Statista), it’s…
