Global Health TV, produced by WebsEdge/Health, brings the global health community together. Through the power of online television we share inspiring stories on the work being done around the world to tackle HIV, AIDS, TB, Malaria and other diseases, build health systems and reduce infant and maternal mortality. Global Health TV shows that there is hope for a brighter, healthier future.
Sleeping Sickness

The path to elimination
Sleeping Sickness, is one of a number of diseases that appeared to be under control in Africa but underwent a revival in the 1990s. With conflict and diseases such as HIV/AIDS taking precedence, the management of sleeping sickness was neglected. These days the incidence is decreasing, drug supplies are widely and consistently available, and new drugs are in development. Global Heath TV visits the Democratic Republic of Congo to see how partnerships involving the national program, NGOs and public-private partnerships between the WHO, sanofi-aventis and Bayer, mean the disease is slowly being conquered once more.
