🌍World Malaria Day Awareness 🦟

In line with World Malaria Day, we’re raising awareness about the signs and symptoms of malaria. Early recognition can save lives!

⚠️ Common symptoms include:
• Fever (often high and recurring)
• Chills and sweating
• Headaches
• Muscle and joint pain
• Fatigue and weakness
• Nausea and vomiting
• Diarrhea

🚨 In severe cases, symptoms may include confusion, difficulty breathing, seizures, or jaundice.

If you or someone you know experiences these symptoms, especially after being in a malaria-risk area, seek medical attention immediately.

đź’ˇ Prevention is key: use mosquito repellents, sleep under treated nets, and eliminate standing water where mosquitoes breed.

World Autism Acceptance Month is an opportunity to raise awareness, acceptance and create a society where autistic people are supported and understood.

Autism is a complex, lifelong neurodevelopmental condition that affects individuals' communication, social interaction and behaviour in diverse ways.

People living with autism fall under the Neurodivergent umbrella because their brains develop and process information differently, show a spectrum of symptoms ranging from mild to severe, each with unique characteristics, presentation and potential to function.

Whether at home, school, or work, how you show up when supporting an autistic colleague, classmate, or family member can help create a more inclusive and accepting world.

What’s happening with NHI in South Africa?

The National Health Insurance (NHI) is currently on hold, and here’s what that means:
• No part of the NHI is being implemented yet
• No changes to your current healthcare access or services
• A key Constitutional Court hearing (5–7 May 2026) will determine what happens next

This is an important moment for South Africa’s healthcare system, one that will shape the future of how healthcare is delivered in our country.

At SAMDP, we break down what this means and why it matters.
