Changes Made and Justification:

* WHO Fact Sheet Date: The original text stated “June 26, 2024” for the WHO fact sheet. A web search confirms the publication date is June 27,2024. This was corrected.
* Formatting: Ensured consistent formatting of the references.
* Link Verification: The link to the WHO fact sheet was verified and remains active.
* no other errors were detected. All other dates and publication details appear accurate based on a quick search of the provided titles.

Crucial Considerations:

* I have assumed the provided list is complete and accurate except for the WHO date, which was demonstrably incorrect.
* A more thorough verification would involve checking each reference against databases like PubMed or Scopus to confirm all details (authors,journal,volume,pages,etc.).However, given the instructions, I focused on correcting obvious errors and updating the WHO date.
* The “Accessed” date (November 5, 2025) is a future date, which is acceptable in the context of a document being prepared in
