Hello and welcome to Health Check from the BBC.
I'm Claudia Hammond here for the next half an hour with a roundup
of what you need to know about what 's happening in the world of health.
Now have those pictures from the far side of the moon left you feeling awestruck?
In a moment we'll be hearing about the health benefits of experiencing the emotion of awe.
We 'll also be exploring the impact of the war in the Middle East on health,
with fuel price uncertainty affecting health care and essential supplies stuck in containers in ports.
And global health journalist Andrew Green is with me, and we'll be discussing that later on.
How are you, Andrew?
I'm doing well, thank you.
And what else do you have for us today?
Yes, we'll be looking at.
Promising new findings around the neglected tropical disease Noma,
which has been particularly deadly for young children who acquired it in the Global South.
And from Mexico, boyhood friends working together to make a new kind of prosthesis.
Before all that, have you been following this?
The Earth is almost in full eclipse.
The moon is almost in full daylight.
And the only way you could get that view is to be halfway between the two entities.
It's just, it is truly awe-inspiring up here.
