🦠 Did you know there's a tapeworm called Taenia solium that can cause serious health problems?

🚨 While the worm itself lives harmlessly in your gut, if eggs from contaminated food or poor hygiene enter your body, they can travel to your brain and cause seizures or epilepsy — a condition called neurocysticercosis.

🌍 This disease affects millions worldwide—estimates suggest 2.5 to 8 million people suffer from it, and it’s preventable!

*The main ways to stay safe?*

✅ Wash your hands thoroughly, especially after using the bathroom.

✅ Wash vegetables and cook pork thoroughly.

✅ Avoid using untreated human manure in farming.

✅ Educate yourself and others about transmission.

🐷 Breaking the cycle also involves vaccinating pigs and improving farming practices—part of a “One Health” approach that protects humans, animals, and the environment.

💪 Stay safe, practice good hygiene, and always follow the science.

🌴🩺 The climate crisis is a health crisis.

🚨 The 2025 Lancet Countdown report, in collaboration with WHO, shows that climate change is already costing millions of lives and straining health systems worldwide.

🌡️ Heat-related deaths increased 23% since the 1990s, with over 546,000 lives lost annually.

🔥 Droughts and wildfires are pushing millions into food insecurity, while economic losses from heat and disasters run into trillions of dollars.

But there’s hope!

Many communities and cities are leading the way with:

🔹 Cleaner energy
🔹 Sustainable diets
🔹 Climate-resilient health systems

🌱💚 Switching to renewable energy could save over 10 million lives each year.

📈 As COP30 approaches, we must accelerate climate action that centers on protecting health, reducing inequalities, and creating a sustainable future for all.

Every action counts—health and climate are deeply connected.

🧠 What if the air your child breathes harms their brain?

Air pollution is an urgent, invisible threat – linked not just to lung disease but also stroke, heart disease, dementia, anxiety and depression.

🧒🏽 Children are most at risk: their lungs are still growing, they breathe faster, and they spend more time outdoors.

🌍 9 in 10 people breathe air that fails WHO standards.

🫁 Tiny particles can reach deep into lungs – and the brain.

*What helps?*

🚶 Avoid busy roads when possible.

🏠 Instead of using wood, coal or kerosene at home, try to use cleaner fuels like electricity or LPG (liquefied petroleum gas).

💪🏿 Today is World Malaria Day, and it’s time to recommit to ending malaria.

🦟 Malaria is a life-threatening disease spread to humans by some types of mosquitoes. It is mostly found in tropical countries. It is preventable and curable.

In 2023, there were 263 million malaria cases and 597 000 deaths in 83 countries.

💡 We know how to end malaria. The choice is ours: act now or risk losing ground. Ending malaria is not just a health imperative; it is an investment in a more equitable, safer and prosperous future for every nation.

*Here are some key facts to know:*

🔹 Malaria claims an estimated 1 life every minute.

🔹 95% of deaths from malaria occur in in the African Region.

🔹 11 countries in Africa bear two thirds of the world’s malaria burden.

🔹 Since 2000, 2.2 billion malaria cases and 12.7 million deaths have been averted.

🔹 After years of steady decline in malaria cases and deaths, progress has stalled.

Malaria can be prevented by avoiding mosquito bites and by taking medicines. Talk to a doctor about taking medicines such as chemoprophylaxis before travelling to areas where malaria is common.

*Lower the risk of getting malaria by avoiding mosquito bites:*

1️⃣ Use mosquito nets when sleeping in places where malaria is present.
2️⃣ Use mosquito repellents (containing DEET, IR3535 or Icaridin) after dusk.
3️⃣ Use coils and vaporizers.
4️⃣ Wear protective clothing.
5️⃣ Use window screens.

🌏 24-30 April 2025 is *World Immunization Week*.

💉Over the last 50 years, vaccines have saved at least 154 million lives. That’s 6 lives a minute, every day, for five decades.

During this period, there has been a 40% improvement in infant survival. However, we still need to reach millions of children who’ve never had a single vaccine.

*We also need to protect:*

👵🏽 older people from flu
👧🏾 young girls from HPV
🍼 babies from malaria & RSV
🤰🏼 pregnant women from tetanus

⚠️ We are at a watershed moment in the history of global health. Hard-won gains in stamping out diseases that are preventable through vaccination are in jeopardy. Decades of collaborative efforts between governments, aid agencies, scientists, healthcare workers, and parents got us to where we are today –– a world where we’ve eradicated smallpox and almost eradicated polio.

World Immunization Week 2025 aims to ensure even more children, adolescents, adults – and their communities – are protected against vaccine-preventable diseases.

☂️ Protect yourself and your family with immunization.
