SUMMARY:World AIDS Day
DESCRIPTION:World AIDS Day takes place on the 1st December each year. It’s an opportunity for people worldwide to unite in the fight against HIV\, to show support for people living with HIV\, and to commemorate those who have died from an AIDS-related illness. Founded in 1988\, World AIDS Day was the first ever global health day. \nOver 101\,000 people are living with HIV in the UK. Globally\, there are an estimated 36.7 million people who have the virus. Despite the virus only being identified in 1984\, more than 35 million people have died of HIV or AIDS\, making it one of the most destructive pandemics in history. \nToday\, scientific advances have been made in HIV treatment\, there are laws to protect people living with HIV and we understand so much more about the condition. Despite this\, each year in the UK around 5\,000 people are diagnosed with HIV\, people do not know the facts about how to protect themselves and others\, and stigma and discrimination remain a reality for many people living with the condition. \nWorld AIDS Day is important because it reminds the public and government that HIV has not gone away – there is still a vital need to raise money\, increase awareness\, fight prejudice and improve education.

SUMMARY:World Malaria Day
DESCRIPTION:“Zero malaria starts with me”\n\nAfter more than a decade of steady advances in fighting malaria\, progress has levelled off.  According to WHO’s latest World malaria report\, no significant gains were made in reducing malaria cases in the period 2015 to 2017. The estimated number of malaria deaths in 2017\, at 435 000\, remained virtually unchanged over the previous year. \n\nUrgent action is needed to get the global response to malaria back on track – and ownership of the challenge lies in the hands of countries most affected by malaria. On World Malaria Day 2019\, WHO joins the RBM Partnership to End Malaria\, the African Union Commission and other partner organizations in promoting “Zero malaria starts with me\,\,” a grassroots campaign that aims to keep malaria high on the political agenda\, mobilize additional resources\, and empower communities to take ownership of malaria prevention and care.

SUMMARY:Immigrant Health: Public Charge  - what is it and how it affects DC families
DESCRIPTION:The D.C. Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics (DC AAP) invites you to a community dinner and conversation.\nPublic Charge: What is it and How it Affects Families in DC\nHave you heard in the news or experienced that immigrant families are apprehensive about using health insurance\, WIC\, food stamps or other public benefits?  Come learn more about the proposed changes to Public Charge and how it is already affecting immigrant families in the DC area. Learn the facts and help clarify all the misinformation around this important topic.  \nOn October 10\, 2018\, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) published a proposed rule related to public charge in the Federal Register. Although many steps away from a final rule and its implementation\, the chilling effect this news creates has already impacted immigrant families in the DMV. Anecdotal stories abound of immigrant families declining to enroll in or renew needed health care services\, WIC\, SNAP and other public assistance programs. Come learn about the proposed public charge ruling and help clarify some of the confusion and misinformation that is creating significant consequences for our immigrant neighbor families. \nPlease register at: https://dcaap_publiccharge.eventbrite.com
