🌍 Urgent Public Health Update from DRC 🌍 Since late October 2024, the Panzi health zone in Kwango Province has been grappling with a devastating outbreak, primarily affecting children under five, who account for 53% of cases and 54.8% of deaths. Over 400 cases have been reported, with 145 tragic deaths—a staggering 71% among children under 15. 💡 Initial diagnosis points to severe malaria, with potential co-infections due to malnutrition, low vaccination rates, and food insecurity. 🩺 What is Severe Malaria? A life-threatening complication caused by the Plasmodium falciparum parasite, severe malaria can lead to organ failure, coma, and death—particularly in vulnerable groups like young children in sub-Saharan Africa. The situation underscores the critical need for global attention and coordinated response to address malnutrition, strengthen healthcare systems, and control diseases in vulnerable regions. #Ghsp #onehealth #PublicHealthCrisis #SevereMalaria #DRC #HealthForAll #ChildHealth

🔺 We had an inspiring visit to Qiblah High School in Ibadan as part of the 2024 Antirabies Awareness Program with the GET One Health School Project by the GET Consortium! Engaging with students on rabies prevention and the vital role of vaccination for both humans and animals was truly rewarding. 🐶💉 The students also learned the importance of washing bite wounds with soap and water before seeking medical help—an essential step in rabies prevention. Together, we’re empowering the next generation to build a healthier, safer future. Let’s keep moving towards a #RabiesFreeWorld! 🐾❤️ #ghsp #rabiesfreeworld #zoonoses #onehealth #youngminds #worldrabies #awareness #qiblah

🌿 Practical Steps to Reduce Environmental Hazards 🌿 1️⃣ Reduce, Reuse, Recycle: Cut down waste by reusing items and recycling whenever possible. This reduces landfill pollution and conserves natural resources. ♻️ 2️⃣ Use Eco-friendly Products: Opt for biodegradable, non-toxic cleaning and personal care products to minimize chemical pollution. 🧴 3️⃣ Conserve Water & Energy: Fix leaks, turn off taps, and switch to energy-efficient appliances. Less water and energy use means less strain on our environment. 💧💡 4️⃣ Proper Disposal: Dispose of hazardous materials like batteries, electronics, and chemicals safely to prevent soil and water contamination. 🗑️ 5️⃣Afforestation: Plant more trees and support reforestation projects. Trees act as natural air filters, reduce soil erosion, and provide habitats for wildlife. 🌳 6️⃣ Practice Sanitation & Hygiene: Maintain proper waste disposal and personal hygiene to prevent the spread of diseases and reduce water and soil contamination. 🚰🧼 Small actions add up! Let's protect our environment and create a healthier world for everyone. 🌏 #environmentalHealth #sustainableLiving #Afforestation #sanitationHygiene #GoGreen #OneHealth #getconsortium
