Paediatrics/CIPHER
Collaborative Initiative for Paediatric HIV Education and Research (CIPHER)
MISSION: Optimize clinical management and delivery of services to infants, children and adolescents affected by HIV in resource-limited settings.
Despite notable progress in reducing vertical transmission of HIV, the paediatric population remains significantly disadvantaged regarding access to treatment, with only 43% of children in need receiving treatment in 2016. As the HIV epidemic matures, there is a growing population of adolescents living with HIV; in recent years, this particularly vulnerable group has seen a 50% increase in AIDS-related mortality compared with a decrease of 30% globally. These populations face unique challenges, which the Collaborative Initiative for Paediatric HIV Education and Research (CIPHER) is committed to placing firmly on the global public health agenda. CIPHER works through a capacity-building approach, supporting the development of young investigators
What kind of industrial policy is required to reverse deindustrialisation in South Africa? Bhaso Ndzendze and Tshilidzi Marwala recently opined that South Africa’s industrial policy needs to adjust to the “realities” of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) by using artificial intelligence and big data to identify markets. This, they suggest, will create and support jobs in “smart” factories (based on the “Internet of Things”) and combat unemployment, poverty and inequality.
This is wishful thinking. It imagines that South Africa, like the mythical African country of Wakanda in the superhero film Black Panther, can become rich enough to solve poverty and inequality through immensely powerful technology. Not only do they argue that 4IR offers meaningful economic salvation for South Africa, but they imply it is the only way to save us: we need to adopt “world-class manufacturing” or be condemned to replicate the failures of the past.
