Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

MEDICAL Advisory Service for Travellers Abroad has launched a telephone service: dial 0891 224 100, detail the countries to be visited, and Masta will send a health brief by return of post for pounds 5, or by fax for pounds 7. Masta is based at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.

Each brief offers information on mandatory and recommended immunisations; prevalent seasonal diseases and how to combat them; the latest health news from the countries to be visited; and the latest advice from the Foreign Office on other travel risks.
