It’s International Lead Poisoning Prevention Week.
Lead exposure was linked to more than 3.5 million deaths globally in 2023, largely through cardiovascular effects.
In paint. In dust. In soil. In water. In some ceramics, cosmetics, medicines, toys and jewellery. Lead exposure can come from more places than many people realize, which is why awareness must lead to action.

@health_malawi @WHOMalawi @UNFPAMalawi @UNICEFMalawi @UNAIDSMalawi and the 2gether 4 SRHR @Sweden partnership have officially opened a 5-day regional Training of Trainers on #MISP and Clinical Management of Rape in Emergencies bringing together delegates from 5 countries.
“Emergencies do not suspend the need for healthcare. They make our responsibility to deliver it even more urgent. No woman should lose her life due to unavailable care, and no survivor of sexual violence should be denied timely, dignified treatment.” @Njugunach @WHOMalawi Rep.
“Emergencies must never deny people access to essential healthcare. We commit to strengthening preparedness, equipping health workers & ensuring women, newborns & survivors of sexual violence receive timely, dignified care" Mr Benson Chisamile, PS Administration @health_malawi.
It is #WorldMentalHealthDay!
Nearly 1 in 7 people lives with a #mentalhealth condition. Their voices matter. Their experiences must shape care.
Let's put people at the heart of mental health care. Protect dignity. Break stigma. Make every conversation count.

Today is #WorldRabiesDay.
Regular vaccination of dogs and other pets helps stop rabies at its source and prevents transmission within communities.
If you are bitten or scratched by a potentially rabid animal, act quickly:
🔸 Wash the wound with soap and water for at least 15 minutes.
🔸 Seek medical care without delay.

From #outbreak to #protection.
In Zomba & Mulanje, #measles outbreaks have changed minds. Parents who once hesitated are now actively seeking #vaccination.
When communities experience the risk, prevention becomes personal. #MeaslesVaccine #Malawi
