It’s Fungal Disease Awareness Month.

Fungal diseases are increasing worldwide. Yet, they are often misdiagnosed, which can lead to severe, potentially chronic illness, and sometimes cost lives. Additionally, misdiagnosed patients often receive antibiotics, drugs designed to fight bacteria instead of antifungal needed treat fungal infections. Any misuse of antibiotics or antifungals may contribute to drug resistance.

We, at Rafaelab is proud to support this initiative. We are committed to providing information. Let's work together to spread awareness and improve access to care.

More than 720,000 people die by su***de every year. For every su***de, there are an estimated 20 su***de attempts.

Su***de can occur at any stage of life and in all regions of the world. In 2021, it was the third leading cause of death among 15–29-year-olds globally, with 73% of all su***des occurring in low- and middle-income countries.

While the link between su***de and mental health conditions — particularly depression, alcohol use disorders, and a history of previous attempts — is well established in high-income countries, many su***des happen impulsively in moments of crisis.

Additional risk factors include experiences of loss, loneliness, discrimination, relationship conflicts, financial difficulties, chronic pain or illness, violence, abuse, and humanitarian emergencies such as war or displacement.

🤱 Breastfeeding is more than nourishment — it's a bond, a shield, and a foundation for lifelong health, and to support the well-being of mothers.

It provides essential nutrients, strengthens the immune system, and builds a lasting emotional bond between parent and baby. But while breastfeeding is natural, it’s not always easy. Many mothers face challenges, from latching issues to supply concerns — and that’s why support and education are so important.

This Breastfeeding Awareness Month, let’s work together to create a world where every mother feels empowered, informed, and supported — no matter her journey. Whether breastfeeding for a few weeks or over a year, every drop counts. 🍼💖

Together, we can normalize breastfeeding, advocate for maternal care, and ensure families receive the resources they deserve. 💪

🎉 Congratulations, Kate Patricia Lalaine Amado Matira, on this milestone in your career!

🔍 Strengthening Competence in Drug Testing

From July 16–18, 2025, the Comprehensive Drug Test Analyst Training at East Avenue Medical Center (EAMC) equipped participants with the knowledge and skills essential for operating DOH-accredited drug testing laboratories, in line with the Manual of Operations for Screening Drug Testing Laboratories.

Kate Patricia Lalaine, a newly registered Medical Technologist, successfully passed the training last July 31, 2025. She shared how the experience opened her eyes to the legal, ethical, and meticulous processes behind every test.

"Drug testing revealed a quiet beauty—a balance of science, discipline, and accountability that makes the work deeply fulfilling." 💡🧪

A warm thank you to Rafaelab Medical and Wellness Center admins, staffs, and to our generous CEO for sponsoring this important training. Your support helps shape professionals who uphold accuracy, vigilance, and integrity in laboratory practice. 🌟
