Hello and welcome to Health Check from the BBC.
I'm Claudia Hammond here for the next half an hour with our selection of what we all need to know about global health this week.
Now to help me today I have global health journalist Andrew Green who joins me from Berlin.
How are you?
You're just off a plane from Botswana.
What were you doing there?
Yes, I just got back from looking at the impact of US funding cuts there.
Well, we'll talk about that a bit more in a moment.
And if you look at happiness across the lifespan,
it used to be the case that on average people had higher well-being when they were young,
then their well-being went down in middle age and back up again when they got older.
But now that pattern has all changed.
And what else do you have for us, Andrew?
We'll be looking at a successful vaccination campaign against human papillomavirus later.
plus how Botox injections are helping to reduce pain in Ukrainian soldiers who've lost limbs and one Indian state introduces a day's menstrual leave a month for all women with formal jobs.
So we are starting with Botswana Wear in the wake of cuts to age from the US announced at the start of this year.
Three days of bilateral talks with the US on funding for healthcare are just beginning.
And Andrew, you are literally just back from Botswana.
What is Botswana hoping to achieve?
in these talks.
