Today’s health headlines range from the deeply personal to the globally urgent. On Mount Everest, Nepali guide Dawa Sherpa was found alive near Base Camp after nearly six days missing, crawling back without food or oxygen in a remarkable story of survival. The World Health Organization, meanwhile, issued a stark reminder that far less visible dangers claim lives every day, estimating unsafe food causes 866 million illnesses and 1.5 million deaths each year, with children under five facing the greatest risk. In the U.S., Ohio State University approved a $100 million settlement for hundreds of former students who said the school failed to stop abuse by doctor Richard Strauss, adding to years of reckoning over institutional responsibility. In Britain, health care and public life also came under scrutiny, with a review urging NHS staff not to wear political badges at work, while veteran broadcaster Bob Harris stepped away from Radio 2 to focus on cancer treatment.
