Last update: 2 hours agoFrench Detention Update: Two French filmmakers and their Togolese fixer, arrested in late July while making a France Télévisions documentary, were freed under judicial supervision after weeks in detention in Togo; their lawyer says continued detention is no longer needed to “establish the truth,” though Togolese authorities still cite “serious evidence” and alleged irregularities, including drone use in northern areas hit by jihadist attacks. Health Systems & Patient Rights: WAHO launched Health Service User Support Centres in Lomé for Benin, The Gambia, and Togo, aiming to give patients a dignified place to report problems, seek guidance, and access mediation—so recurring issues can feed into better healthcare quality and safety.

Pitche formally assumed office as WAHO Director-General on September 1, bringing over 25 years of experience, including leadership roles in Togo’s national HIV/AIDS response. Public Health Alert: Diphtheria in Nigeria’s Plateau State has reportedly killed 23 people with 143 suspected cases, with shortages of diphtheria antitoxin and late presentation cited as key challenges.
