Caption: Here’s what happened in health care this week: ➡️ President Donald Trump has had four known medical visits since returning to office last year. He says he’s checked out “perfectly.” Trump’s health has been the subject of speculation. He’s turning 80 this month and is the oldest person ever elected president. ➡️ The Trump administration has finalized what millions of Americans will need to do to keep Medicaid coverage next year, when they’ll start having to prove they’re working, studying, or volunteering 80 hours a month. ➡️ Kenya’s high court has told the U.S. to pump the brakes on building an Ebola quarantine unit there. The decision delays the plan, which led to angry protests among Kenyans, by a few more weeks. Want more of the top health care and health policy issues each week? KFF Health News will be back with a weekly recap of the news you need to know about.

Caption: FIFA announced that vuvuzelas will be banned from this summer’s World Cup.⁠ The notorious vuvuzela made a name for itself at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.⁠ They’ve since become a staple at some stadiums, to some’s pleasure and to many’s annoyance. FIFA have now confirmed that the plastic horns will be banned. Whistles, apart from the referees, and reusable water bottles are also prohibited.⁠ There will also be serious repercussions for those, “streaking or revealing intimate body parts.” And body paint according to FIFA does not constitute clothing.⁠ ⁠The tournament opener is Thursday, with Mexico taking on South Africa.⁠ ⁠ Check out NPR News Now wherever you listen to podcasts for more of today’s news.

Caption: Going nearsighted is a normal part of aging, but not a normal part of growing up, which is why so many people are concerned about rates of myopia soaring among children. In China, where they track early onset myopia, 80% of teens and young adults are now nearsighted. As part of NPR’s special series Body Electric, TED Radio Hour host Manoush Zomorodi has been looking into why so many kids are going nearsighted earlier and earlier and what can be done about it.

Caption: Marjane Satrapi, author of the acclaimed graphic novel 'Persepolis' and a leading champion for women's rights in Iran, died on Thursday. She was 56.⁠ ⁠ The office of the French presidency confirmed her death in a statement, highlighting the universal message of freedom her work carried.⁠ ⁠ Satrapi was born in Tehran in 1969. Her childhood was one shadowed by polarization: Though she grew up in a communist-leaning household and studied abroad in Vienna and France as a young adult, the 1979 Iranian Revolution and its resulting theocratic regime indelibly altered her life.⁠ ⁠ Satrapi wrote about her adolescence in the new Islamic Republic — her rebellion, exile, return, and permanent departure — in 'Persepolis.' Published in four French volumes between 2000 and 2003, Satrapi's autobiographical comic book became an international bestseller. It has since been translated into more than 20 languages.⁠ ⁠ Tap the link in our bio for the story.⁠
