𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗯𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘀 𝗗𝗮𝘆 — 𝟭𝟯 𝗢𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱: "𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗧𝗼𝗲, 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹: 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗯𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘀, 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵."

Thrombosis (blood clots) can block veins or arteries and lead to deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, heart attack, or stroke. Many risk factors are common and modifiable — prolonged immobility, recent surgery, cancer, hormone therapy, obesity, smoking, and unmanaged chronic diseases — so early recognition (leg swelling/pain, sudden shortness of breath, chest pain, sudden weakness or speech changes) and timely medical assessment save lives.

Take simple steps to reduce risk: stay active and hydrate during long travel, maintain a healthy weight, quit smoking, control diabetes and heart disease, use compression stockings when advised, and follow anticoagulant instructions carefully. Share this message so more people know the signs and preventive actions — from head to toe, take control.

𝗧𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗠𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘀 𝗗𝗮𝘆 — a reminder that meningitis can strike anyone, anywhere, and can kill within 24 hours. It also leaves many survivors with lifelong disability. This year’s theme, “United in the race to defeat meningitis,” calls for global partnerships to reach the WHO goal of defeating meningitis by 2030.

𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘀:
- 2019: 1.6 million cases and 236,000 deaths worldwide. Infants and young children are most affected.
- In WHO South‑East Asia: ~27% of global cases, ~19% of deaths; attack rate ≈ 7.6 per 100,000; CFR ≈ 18%.
- Vaccines protect against the main bacterial causes: meningococcus, pneumococcus and Hib. Hib vaccine is in all regional countries; PCV and meningococcal vaccines are expanding.
- Prevention needs high vaccine coverage (≥90%), better surveillance, improved diagnostics, timely treatment, and support for survivors.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗱𝗼 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆:
- Check that you and your family are up to date on Hib, pneumococcal (PCV) and meningococcal vaccines.
- Know the warning signs: sudden high fever, severe headache, stiff neck, vomiting, confusion, sensitivity to light, and seizures — seek emergency care immediately.
- Share accurate information and encourage vaccination in your community.
- Support survivors and families who face long-term effects.

We can reduce deaths and disability by acting together — awareness, vaccination and prompt care save lives.

𝗦𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝘀 𝗕𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵 — a chance to learn more and act early. Blood cancers — leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma — begin in the bone marrow or lymphatic system and often present with common symptoms: persistent unexplained fatigue, recurrent infections, easy bruising or bleeding, painless swollen lymph nodes in the neck/armpit/groin, bone or joint pain, heavy night sweats, unexplained weight loss, and shortness of breath from anaemia. Risk factors include increasing age, family history, prior high-dose radiation or chemical exposure (for example benzene), weakened immunity and certain genetic conditions (eg. Down syndrome). If you notice one or more of these symptoms for several weeks, get a clinical exam and a full blood count (CBC); early referral to a haematologist and prompt diagnostic tests (blood smear, bone marrow biopsy, imaging, immunophenotyping) can dramatically improve treatment options and survival.

You can help by sharing accurate information, supporting patient groups and donating blood or registering as a stem-cell/bone-marrow donor if eligible. Treatment advances — targeted therapies, immunotherapies, and bone marrow transplants — have improved survival rates for many blood cancers, but access and early diagnosis remain critical, especially in regions with limited resources. Use this month to check symptoms, encourage screening, attend awareness events, and support research and care in your community.
