Nivea launches "Human contact is a strength" initiative:
Today, virtual exchanges, the hectic pace of life and the Coronavirus pandemic often keep us apart from each other. This situation increases our sense of loneliness and isolation. To promote human contact, the Nivea skincare brand, part of the German Beiersdorf Group, is launching the #LECONTACTHUMAINESTUNEFORCE initiative. The aim of this action is to remind us of the importance of those simple gestures that bring us closer together and add a touch of humanity to our daily lives. Nivea has therefore decided to make a commitment to three populations in particular: premature babies, the visually impaired and isolated elderly people. The brand will invest 20 million euros between now and 2025. Projects that will be implemented, of course, as soon as health circumstances allow.


Facebook launches awareness campaign in partnership with WHO:
Last month, Facebook announced the largest global campaign to promote authoritative information about Covid-19 vaccines. Significant investments have been made to remove accounts and content that violate Facebook's community standards or advertising policies, reduce the spread of misinformation, and inform people by giving them more context about the posts they see. To continue to give everyone the tools they need to make informed decisions about the information they see online, and following an initial similar campaign rolled out in the summer of 2020, Facebook is launching a new campaign in partnership with WHO and some of its European fact-checking partners called "Together Against Covid-19 Fake News." The campaign will be rolled out across the European Union, including France, as well as in the UK, Iceland, and countries in the Middle East and Africa.


SALAMTI: Roche launches a mobile application to encourage breast self-examination:

This new app can be downloaded free of charge, without any obligation, from the App Store and Google Play. It has been designed in the two languages commonly used in Morocco: a French version and an Arabic version, with a voice-over in Darija, in order to widen its access to all women. Designed to be accessible to all women, SALAMTI offers a step-by-step guide, in the form of a tutorial of animated visuals, indicating the gestures to follow for an effective self-cleansing.
