The nasal spray was as effective as a steroid spray in helping children breathe and sleep better, potentially avoiding the need for surgery and specialist care, said Gillian M. Nixon, MD, adjunct clinical professor at Monash Children’s Hospital in Clayton, Australia, who led the research. https://bit.ly/3M2aVtZ

"Warring parties have shifted the narrative from one of ‘mistaken attacks’ to a justification that medical facilities and humanitarian personnel have “lost protection” under IHL."

Attacks on medical care during armed conflicts have reached alarming and unprecedented levels, with States increasingly responsible for these violations. These assaults not only destroy health facilities but also instill fear in civilians, deterring them from seeking life-saving care.

A decade after the adoption of landmark UN Security Council Resolutions 2286 and 2739, Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) urges States and warring parties to respect international humanitarian law (IHL) and prioritize the protection of medical missions. This includes incorporating healthcare protection into national legislation, military doctrines, and decision-making processes, as well as ensuring medical facilities are not used for military purposes.

The National Nutrition Council (NNC) joins the nation in observing Goiter Awareness Week 2026, an annual campaign aimed at increasing public awareness on Iodine Deficiency Disorders (IDD) and promoting proper nutrition for optimal thyroid health.
Goiter is a preventable condition, primarily caused by inadequate iodine intake, yet it remains a public health concern affecting individuals across all ages. Left unaddressed, iodine deficiency can impair growth, development, and overall well-being.

This year, the NNC calls on individuals, families, communities, and local government units to take proactive action by ensuring adequate iodine intake through the use of iodized salt, consumption of a balanced diet, and regular health check-ups. Strengthening nutrition education and awareness is key to preventing goiter and other iodine deficiency–related disorders.

Together, let us work towards empowering every Filipino to protect their thyroid health and achieve overall wellness, as we support the shared vision of a healthier nation free from preventable nutrition-related conditions
