Do you know the most common types of cancer in children?
These are:
- leukemias,
- brain tumours,
- lymphomas, and
- solid tumours such as neuroblastoma and Wilms tumour.
While childhood cancer is rare, it can happen.
When cancer is found early and treatment begins without delay, a child has a far better chance of surviving and growing up healthy.
Healthy animals. Healthy people.
Zoonotic diseases are a range of illnesses that can spread from animals to humans. Know the symptoms, consult doctors if you notice any, and protect yourself and your family.

🦺 For many workers, heat is a serious hazard.
1.5 billion workers - 25% of the global workforce - work outdoors. These workers
face health risks from extreme heat and pollution.
Protections for outdoor workers in the heat must include:
📋 A written plan, agreed with workers, on what to do when it gets dangerously hot.
⏸ Scheduled rest breaks in a cooling area and/or change in working schedule
💧 Access to drinking water, hygienic toilets, and handwashing stations throughout
the shift
🧢 Appropriate heat-protective and personal protection equipment
👥 Buddy checks for early signs of heat illness
🛑 The right and permission to stop work when feeling unwell
Check guidance that helps employers and governments protect workers from
extreme heat https://t.co/7ISFeesdfK

Latest update on #hantavirus outbreak linked to cruise ship travel, multi-locations
🔵 As of 27 May, a total of 13 hantavirus cases (11 confirmed and 2 probable cases), including 3 deaths (2 confirmed and 1 probable), have been reported.
📌All confirmed cases are among people who travelled onboard the MV Hondius. Given the long incubation period of up to six weeks, it is not unexpected that cases continue to be reported until the end of the six weeks since last exposure.
🔵 Based on the available information and the existing observations of the current outbreak, limited human-to-human transmission of Andes virus (ANDV) in known to occur. The exact mode(s) through which human-to-human transmission occurred during this outbreak are yet to be fully understood.
📌While the available evidence suggests that there are multiple modes of transmission that occur with ANDV, the probability of onward transmission between humans remains low.
🔵Therefore, at the present time, WHO is operating under the assumption that ANDV transmission:
🔹 may include contact with an infected individual or contaminated surfaces
🔹 and/or through the air transmission (via direct deposition of infectious respiratory particles onto exposed facial mucosal surfaces--mouth, nose or eyes)
🔹and/or airborne transmission (via inhalation of infectious respiratory particles).
📌This information is up to date as of 27 May 2026. It will be updated as new evidence becomes available and the understanding of transmission evolves.
🔵 Using data from the previously documented human-to-human outbreaks in Argentina and the 13 cases so far recorded from the cruise ship outbreak, WHO estimates that the mean incubation period is 22 days, corresponding to a probability of safe release from quarantine of 96% at 42 days, reducing to 91% at 35 days.
This reaffirms WHO’s recommendation of 42 days of quarantine for high-risk contacts and self-monitoring for low-risk contacts.

Self-Care Month starts today 🌿
It's a moment to pause and ask: am I actually looking after myself?
Self-care protects your physical and mental health, reduces stress, builds resilience, and helps your mind and body function well.
It doesn't replace doctors or health workers; it works alongside them.
Small, consistent habits. Every day if you can. That's the goal.
Heavy rains 🌧️ can increase the risk of diseases caused by contaminated food and water.
Protect yourself and your family
🛒 Be cautious when eating street food
🧼 Wash your hands regularly
🥬 Wash fruits and vegetables thoroughly before cooking or consuming
☔ Stay vigilant, stay safe.
