Recent health news includes Roivant's success in drug trials for lung disease, a significant settlement on PFAS claims in North Carolina, and Spain's fertility support for female athletes. India's proposed food warning labels face criticism from both health experts and industry leaders. Meanwhile, the Netherlands reports three deaths linked to West Nile virus.

Roivant has reported a major success as its experimental lung disease drug met main targets in a mid-stage study. This progress, tied to high blood pressure-related lung conditions, boosted shares by approximately 17%.

A $455 million settlement was reached by Chemours, DuPont, and Corteva with North Carolina over PFAS contamination claims. The agreement stems from lawsuits related to pollution of drinking water with 'forever chemicals,' continuing a trend of significant payouts.
