Dear Colleague,

Welcome to LIFE's (Leading International Fungal Education) May newsletter. Please follow this link.

This newsletter features the launch by GAFFI at ISHAM in Melbourne, of a 10 year roadmap calling on governments, policy makers and international health agencies to improve outcomes for patients with fungal infections worldwide. GAFFI's objective is that 95% of people with serious fungal disease are diagnosed and 95% treated by 2025 (95-95 by 2025).

 Other featured news items include:
  • ABPA found in 26% of paediatric patients with poorly controlled asthma in India
  • Fungal disease burdens  from 9 more countries presented at ECCMID
  • How to bolster the antifungal pipeline
  • Improved 12 month survival when community support is given with cryptococcal antigen screening, in HIV patients.
Many other significant events relating to global health and fungal infections will be regularly posted on the LIFE website here.

Please forward this email to any colleagues who may be interested, LIFE website.
