Hello and welcome to Health Check from the BBC.
I'm Claudia Hammond and I'm here to dissect the latest health news from around the world.
And to help me today, I have the BBC's Africa health correspondent, Dorcas Wangira.
How are you, Dorcas?
I'm well, Claudia.
How are you?
I'm good, thank you.
What do you have for us today?
Today we have a non-hormonal male contraceptive and a peanut allergy trial.
Yeah, both really intriguing.
And also later on,
I want to ask you about some of the headlines people might have seen about a so-called traditional African diet,
if there is one such thing, and how it might be the way forward if you want to be healthy.
But we'll talk about that in more detail later.
So we're starting today in Sudan,
where millions have been displaced in the civil war and the immediate risks to health are very apparent.
Almost a year ago on Health Check, we discussed another consequence,
the risks to a centre for research into a flesh-eating disease called mysotoma.
Now we've had the news that the research centre,
which is the only one in the world and also treats patients, has been destroyed.
