A lab worker holds up a test-tube of blood before conducting HIV tests at Medecins Sans Frontieres-Holland (AZG)'s clinic in Yangon February 21, 2012. Tens of thousands of lives are at risk in Myanmar due to an anticipated funding shortfall to treat people living with HIV and tuberculosis, medical charity Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) warned Wednesday, urging international donors to provide immediate support to the impoverished country. Myanmar is already facing "a devastating gap" between people's needs and access to treatment and a decision by the Global Fund to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria to cancel funding for 2013 because of a lack of donor money could worsen the situation, the report "Lives in the balance: the urgent need for HIV and TB treatment in Myanmar" said.

Children wait to be vaccinated against the most deadly forms of pneumonia at Amistad Mexico-Nicaragua Hospital in Ticauntepe town, about 8 miles (13 kilometres) south of Managua, December 12, 2010. The Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunisation (GAVI) said Nicaragua is the first developing nation to begin vaccinating children with the pneumococcal shots, made by drugmakers Pfizer and GlaxoSmithKline, and another 18 countries will follow in the next few years. Pneumococcal disease, which can cause pneumonia, meningitis and sepsis, kills more than half a million children every year and the vast majority of these deaths are in poorer countries where access to healthcare can be limited and very expensive.

A health worker injects a woman with an Ebola vaccine during a trial in Monrovia, February 2, 2015. Liberia began a trial of experimental Ebola vaccines on Monday, involving thousands of volunteers as part of an effort to slow the spread of the deadly haemorrhagic fever and prevent future outbreaks. The epidemic has killed more than 8,800 people in West Africa since it began more than a year ago, overwhelming weak healthcare systems in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. Its spread now appears to be slowing, especially in Liberia which currently has just a handful of cases. REUTERS/James Giahyue (LIBERIA - Tags: DISASTER HEALTH) - RTR4NX6S
