Rage : le Togo renforce sa campagne de vaccination

Le Togo s’est engagé à atteindre l’objectif mondial « Zéro rage » d’ici 2030. Pourtant, rien que pour le premier semestre 2025, le pays a enregistré 489 morsures animales, 131 cas suspects dont 3 confirmés, ainsi que 12 décès. Selon les autorités sanitaires, ces drames auraient pu être évités grâce à des mesures de prévention simples : la vaccination des chiens et le recours rapide aux soins après une morsure. Pour inverser la tendance, le gouvernement a lancé samedi à Lomé une nouvelle campagne nationale de vaccination. Avec l’appui de la FAO, de l’OMS et de l’Organisation mondiale de la santé animale, l’opération prévoit de vacciner 60 000 animaux à travers le pays et de sensibiliser près de 500 000 citoyens, dont une large majorité d’enfants.

WHO Deploys Experts as Congo Confirms 16th Ebola Outbreak in Kasai Province

The World Health Organization (WHO) has deployed experts to Kasai province in the Democratic Republic of Congo following confirmation of a new Ebola outbreak. The move comes as health authorities face what they say is the country’s 16th outbreak of the deadly virus. WHO said its teams are working with Congo’s Rapid Response Team to strengthen disease surveillance, improve treatment, and enhance infection prevention measures in health facilities. Supplies, including personal protective equipment, mobile labs, and medicines, are also being delivered. Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General, confirmed that vaccines will play a central role in containing the outbreak. “We had previously prepositioned 2,000 doses of the Ebola vaccine in Kinshasa, which we are releasing to vaccinate contacts and health workers,” he said. Congo’s Health Minister Samuel-Roger Kamba said the outbreak’s fatality rate, estimated at 53.6%, highlights the severity of […]

Le pays devient ainsi le 22ᵉ en Afrique à introduire ce vaccin, après le Ghana, le Bénin et le Nigéria. Le paludisme demeure un défi majeur pour la santé publique et l’économie nationale. D’après le ministère de la Santé, il représente 40 % des consultations médicales et 25 % des hospitalisations. Les enfants de moins de cinq ans sont les plus vulnérables : en 2022, ils comptaient pour 64 % des cas confirmés et 65 % des décès liés à la maladie. La campagne cible environ 269 000 enfants chaque année, couvrant l’ensemble des 39 districts sanitaires du pays, soit 3,1 % de la population.

Oral Sex Now Leading Cause of Throat Cancer, Experts Warn.

Medical experts have identified oral sex as the leading cause of throat cancer, surpassing smoking, alcohol consumption, and poor diet. The rise in oropharyngeal cancer, which affects the tonsils and back of the throat, has been linked to human papillomavirus (HPV) infections, sparking what some are calling an epidemic.Dr. Hisham Mehanna of the University of Birmingham explained that HPV infections are often cleared by the immune system, but a small number of individuals struggle to eliminate the virus, leading to its integration into their DNA and potentially causing cancer.The number of oral sex partners significantly increases the risk, with individuals having six or more lifetime oral sex partners being 8.5 times more likely to develop throat cancer. Despite this, only a small percentage of those infected with HPV develop the disease.In the UK alone, about 8,300 people are diagnosed with […]

Rising Measles Cases Prompt Vaccination Drive in Ashanti Region.

The Ghana Health Service (GHS) has raised concerns about the alarming increase in measles and rubella cases in the Ashanti Region. Over the past few years, the number of reported cases has grown significantly, rising from 9 in 2018 to 114 by mid-2024.Although Ghana has not recorded any child deaths from measles in the last 15 years, health experts are worried that if the current trend continues, it could lead to severe consequences, including disability or death among affected children. In response to this threat, the Ashanti Regional Health Directorate aims to vaccinate 1 million children, aged 9 to 59 months, as part of a national vaccination campaign to prevent further spread and reduce associated mortality.Dr. Fred Adomako Boateng, the Ashanti Regional Director of Health Services, emphasized the serious complications measles and rubella can cause, such as blindness or deafness, […]
