#Malaria is preventable and treatable—but only if caught early. If it is not treated early, it can quickly progress to severe illness, leading to serious complications or even death. #MalariaAwareness #StaySafe

#OrganDonation🇿🇦Supporting organ and tissue donation starts with all of us. Have an open conversation with your family and friends about becoming a donor. Officially register your intention to donate, and family consent is required at the time of death. @BWiseHealth

🚗 Long-distance Travel Before undertaking long-distance travel, motorists are advised to ensure their vehicles are roadworthy, avoid overloading, maintain a safe following distance, refrain from using mobile phones while driving, and never drive under the influence of alcohol.

#Malaria is preventable and treatable — but early action saves lives. Protect yourself and your family, especially if traveling to risk areas.

#WAAD2026 Autism is not something to fix — it’s a different way of experiencing the world. Let’s move beyond awareness to acceptance, inclusion, and understanding. Listen to autistic voices. Support neurodiversity. #WorldAutismAwarenessDay #AutismAcceptance #Neurodiversity

Starting #PrEP (Pre-exposure prophylaxis) is a powerful step in protecting your health 💊 Before you begin, you’ll need: ✔️ A confirmed negative HIV test ✔️ A prescription from a healthcare provider ✔️ Baseline tests, including kidney function and screening for other STIs

TB testing is free. Visit your nearest clinic and keep your health in check.

#Tobacco is deadly in any form. New and emerging nicotine products like e-cigarettes and nicotine pouches are addictive and harmful to your health. There is no safe level of use. Even second-hand smoke can be fatal. #StaySafe!

#Malaria If you’re travelling from a non-endemic area, your body has little to no immunity to malaria — putting you at higher risk of severe illness. Know the Risk. Stay Protected. Early awareness saves lives. Stay informed, stay safe.

#HealthyLifestyle Even light drinking of #alcohol can raise cancer risk, and the harm increases with the amount and frequency of consumption.
