Norovirus is a highly contagious illness that spreads through contact with the feces or vomit of infected individuals.

Improper handwashing can transfer the virus to water, food, or surfaces, resulting in diarrhea and vomiting for those who come into contact with it.

Regularly inspect septic tanks for leaks to prevent water contamination and illness.

Stay safe.

Various types of Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs

Various types of Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) exist, and you may wonder why these diseases are called "neglected."

According to the @WHO, these diseases are referred to as "neglected" because, historically, they are ranked low in the global health agenda, and funding is insufficient. These diseases are responsible for many deaths and affect over 1 billion people globally.

On this day we are calling on every individual and organization to join forces to Unite, Act, and Eliminate NTDs.

What other NTDs can you name?

Sneezing in public can be an uncomfortable experie

Sneezing in public can be an uncomfortable experience, but adopting proper etiquette not only helps to maintain your composure but also promotes public health.

One effective method is the "DAB" technique, which involves sneezing into the curve of your elbow. This recommended practice minimizes the spread of germs.

Our #DRASARadioHalfHour show, "How Can I Maintain my Steeze Even When I Sneeze?", explains how to protect yourself from contracting infectious diseases in public places.

As part of our mission to support safer healthcare

As part of our mission to support safer healthcare for everyone, we continue to train health workers on standard Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) measures through the @cmulcicaps Diploma in IPC Course.

This training provides practical, demonstrable knowledge of IPC and tailors the learning experience to each participant's specific role. We engage students in exercises, site visits, demonstrations, simulations, and group sessions to ensure they develop a holistic understanding of how to prevent the spread of infections in their health facilities.

Antimicrobial resistance is no longer a silent pan

Antimicrobial resistance is no longer a silent pandemic. It is a growing global health threat that demands urgent action.

As part of our commitment to combating this crisis, we took to the streets of Abuja for our #AMROnTheStreet Campaign, partnering with University of Abuja students to raise awareness about the dangers of antimicrobial misuse. From children to adults, we educated the public on how their actions today can protect future generations.

Join us in this fight by spreading awareness, using antimicrobials responsibly, and being part of the solution.
