Lassa Fever Awareness

What is Lassa fever?

Lassa fever is a contagious viral illness seen in parts of West Africa, including Nigeria. Infection often occurs when people come into contact with food, surfaces, or household items contaminated by the urine or droppings of infected rodents. It can also spread through direct contact with the bodily fluids of an infected person.

Symptoms

Early symptoms may include fever, headache, general weakness, sore throat, vomiting, or diarrhea. In severe cases, it can lead to bleeding, breathing difficulty, and serious complications affecting vital organs. Prompt treatment improves survival.

Prevention

Maintain a clean, rodent-free environment
Keep food properly covered and stored
Practice regular handwashing
Avoid contact with rats and infected bodily fluids
Seek medical attention promptly if symptoms appear
Act early
Do not rely on self-medication.

If you notice symptoms, visit a health facility immediately. Early reporting and treatment help protect you and your community.

When a Tooth Speaks, Let’s Listen: World Toothache Day 2026
Theme 2026: “From Toothache to Total Care — Listen Early, Act Fast”

A toothache rarely arrives without warning. It begins as a small signal — a twinge, a sensitivity, a dull pulse — and grows when ignored. This World Toothache Day 2026 invites us to change the story: to stop treating tooth pain as something to endure and start seeing it as a call to act early and wisely.

This year’s theme, “From Toothache to Total Care — Listen Early, Act Fast,” reminds us that timely dental attention is one of the simplest ways to protect our health. What starts as a minor cavity or gum irritation can quickly develop into infection, severe pain, or tooth loss if left untreated. But with prompt care, most dental problems are not only manageable — they are preventable.

Beyond the discomfort, toothaches can disrupt daily life. They interfere with sleep, reduce appetite, and make it hard to focus at school or work. Children miss classes, adults lose productive hours, and families bear avoidable stress. Yet the solution is within reach: consistent oral hygiene, balanced nutrition, and regular dental check-ups can keep many of these problems from ever starting.

On this day of awareness, we encourage everyone to take simple but powerful steps:

Notice early signs of tooth sensitivity or pain and don’t ignore them.

Brush thoroughly twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and clean between teeth daily.

Cut down on sugary snacks and drinks that weaken enamel.

Schedule routine dental visits, even when everything feels fine.

Seek professional care as soon as discomfort appears — early action prevents bigger problems.

World Toothache Day is not only about pain; it is about prevention, responsibility, and the confidence that comes with a healthy smile.

When we listen to our teeth and respond promptly, we protect more than our mouths — we protect our comfort, our productivity, and our overall well-being.
Let today be a turning point: from ignoring pain to embracing care, from discomfort to confidence.
Every smile deserves relief, and every person deserves a life free from avoidable tooth pain.

World Epilepsy Day 2026

BHUTH joins the world in observing World Epilepsy Day 2026, reaffirming that understanding epilepsy must lead to meaningful action. This year’s theme calls on all of us to make an Epilepsy Pledge—to learn, support, include, and stand against stigma.

Epilepsy is treatable, and with the right care and support, many people living with the condition can lead healthy, fulfilling lives. At BHUTH, we remain committed to early diagnosis, quality treatment, public education, and compassionate support for every patient and family we serve.

Let us turn awareness into action by learning seizure first aid, sharing correct information, and creating safer, more inclusive spaces for people living with epilepsy. Together, we can replace fear with knowledge and stigma with support.

Care with compassion. Service with excellence.

International Day of Zero Tolerance for Female Ge***al Mutilation 2026
Theme: “Step Up the Pace: Strengthening Alliances and Building Movements to End FGM”

Today, Bingham University Teaching Hospital (BHUTH) joins voices with the global community to mark the International Day of Zero Tolerance for Female Ge***al Mutilation (FGM). This year’s theme, “Step Up the Pace: Strengthening Alliances and Building Movements to End FGM,” calls on institutions, communities, and individuals to accelerate action and deepen partnerships toward the complete elimination of this harmful practice.

Female ge***al mutilation remains a critical public health and human rights concern with lifelong consequences for the physical, emotional, and reproductive health of women and girls. Beyond the immediate risks of severe pain, infection, and complications, FGM can result in long-term trauma and challenges that affect quality of life and maternal outcomes. As healthcare providers, we witness the impact and remain steadfast in our resolve that prevention, education, and early intervention are essential.

At BHUTH, we are committed to safeguarding the dignity and wellbeing of every girl and woman. Through continuous community engagement, health education, professional training, and compassionate clinical care, we advocate for informed choices and protective environments where harmful practices have no place. We believe meaningful progress happens when healthcare institutions, traditional and faith leaders, families, and young people work together to shift mindsets and uphold the rights of girls.

This commemoration is a renewed call for unity and urgency. Let us strengthen alliances, amplify awareness, and support survivors with empathy and respect. Let us replace silence with dialogue, myths with knowledge, and harmful traditions with practices that protect health and uphold human dignity.

Bingham University Teaching Hospital reaffirms its unwavering commitment to advocacy, partnership, and quality care for women and girls. Together, by stepping up the pace and building stronger movements, we can help ensure a future where every girl grows up safe, respected, and empowered to reach her full potential.
