Despite these challenges, an intriguing finding emerges, as 55% of respondents in low-income countries believe that mental health outcomes have improved in the past generation, according to a UNICEF survey. This positive shift could be attributed to a combination of factors, including heightened [mental health awareness initiatives](https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/305968/reporting/de?ref=newsletters.qs.com) and the implementation of social security welfare projects aimed at safeguarding the mental well-being of low-income individuals. In wealthy nations, enhanced availability of mental health services and heightened [awareness](https://www.jacintoconvit.org/social-science-series-5-mental-health-in-developed-vs-developing-countries/?ref=newsletters.qs.com) campaigns may contribute to higher rates of diagnosis, potentially influencing more individuals to perceive worsening conditions. ## 🚘 8x Rise in EV Spending ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/f1/d4/f1d411df-6f49-4c75-a302-f8c9e9f59495/content/images/2024/03/HolonIQ_Global_spending_on_electric_cars_by_consumers_and_government_2017_2022_Billions_USD_HCH8ZWSNSV9RIYV7JYS5.png) Between 2017 and 2022, electric vehicle (EV) sales have seen an [eightfold increase in volumes](https://www.ev-volumes.com/?ref=newsletters.qs.com), largely propelled by government incentives for EV purchases and the growing range of EVs equivalent to traditional vehicles. While both government and consumer spending on EVs have surged, there's a notable shift, as the government's share of spending on EVs has decreased relative to total expenditure. This indicates a maturing market with a reduced reliance on subsidies. Spending by consumers and the government per EV has remained relatively stable since 2017, indicating growing customer acceptance despite reduced incentives. ## 🍬 54% of Africans Remain Undiagnosed for Diabetes ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/f1/d4/f1d411df-6f49-4c75-a302-f8c9e9f59495/content/images/2024/03/HolonIQ_Percentage_of_diabetics_undiagnosed_in_world_regions_2021_HCHKJ4F1ADRTDDEFFI2V.png) The highest rate of undiagnosed diabetes is observed in [Africa](https://www.fic.nih.gov/News/GlobalHealthMatters/may-june-2023/Pages/facing-challenge-undiagnosed-diabetes--africa.aspx?ref=newsletters.qs.com#:~:text=Sub%2DSaharan%20Africa%20has%20the,International%20Diabetes%20Federation%20%28IDF%29%20.) and is said to primarily stem from insufficient access to nutritious meals, which adversely affects overall well-being. This situation is further exacerbated by the limited availability and affordability of healthcare, leading to a significant number of cases going undiagnosed, according to a recent study.

The delayed diagnosis raises concerns about the long-term impact on public health.
