Hemophilia is a rare genetic condition where the blood lacks key clotting factors, causing bleeding to last longer than usual even after minor injuries. It can show up as frequent bruising, joint swelling, or unexplained bleeding.

Although it is inherited and more common in males, it is highly manageable with proper treatment like factor replacement therapy and prophylaxis.

Awareness matters. Early recognition helps prevent complications and protects joint health.

Every breath matters. 🫁

𝗧𝘂𝗯𝗲𝗿𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘀 (𝗧𝗕) remains one of the world’s deadliest infectious diseases, caused by 𝘔𝘺𝘤𝘰𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘶𝘮 𝘵𝘶𝘣𝘦𝘳𝘤𝘶𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘪𝘴. While it mainly affects the lungs, it can also spread to other parts of the body such as the brain, spine, kidneys, and lymph nodes. TB spreads through the air when a person with active TB coughs, sneezes, or even speaks. Making awareness, early detection, and proper treatment critical in stopping its spread.

Many people may carry latent TB infection without symptoms, while active TB disease can cause persistent cough, fever, night sweats, fatigue, and weight loss. The good news? TB is preventable and treatable with proper antibiotics, early diagnosis, and complete treatment.

This 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝟮𝟰, 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗧𝗕 𝗗𝗮𝘆, we remember the discovery of the TB bacterium by Dr. Robert Koch in 1882 and renew the global commitment to end TB through education, prevention, and access to treatment for all.

Let’s work together to stop TB. 💚

These infections are among the most common in developing countries and are widely found in tropical and subtropical regions where warm climates, poverty, poor sanitation, and unsafe water allow worms to survive and spread.

Children are the most affected. 👧🧒
Over 267 million preschool children and 568 million school-age children live in areas where these parasites are still transmitted, putting them at risk for poor nutrition, delayed growth, and learning difficulties.

In the Philippines, soil-transmitted helminth infections remain a major public health concern. 🇵🇭
Despite nationwide deworming programs that started in 2006, 16 out of 17 regions remain endemic, and nearly 1 in 2 children were infected in past national surveys.

The burden is not the same everywhere.
📍 Higher Ascaris and Trichuris infections are seen in the Visayas, while hookworm infections are more common in Mindanao. Spatial mapping helps guide targeted interventions in high-risk communities.

Here’s an important reminder: these infections are common, preventable, and treatable. ✨
Regular deworming, good hygiene, safe water, and proper sanitation can help protect children and reduce the global burden of disease.

This infographic highlights the worldwide and Philippine situation of soil-transmitted helminth infections and why continued public health efforts are essential. 💚🤍
