Stress is common for new parents and can significantly affect both their well-being and their newborn’s health. Caring for a baby brings challenges like sleep deprivation and new routines, which can lead to emotional and physical stress. Recognizing signs of stress, such as irritability and fatigue, is crucial for parents. A high-stress environment can impact a neonate’s development and the parent-child bond. To support both parents and babies, it’s essential to prioritise self-care, build a strong support network, and seek help when needed. Effective stress management strategies include regular exercise, mindfulness practices, and taking breaks to recharge. By creating a calm and nurturing environment, parents can reduce stress for themselves and their newborn, fostering a healthier family dynamic. Understanding and managing stress is vital for the well-being of both parents and their little ones. #stress #sleepdeprived #selfcare #stressmanagement #emotionalstress #mentalstress #fatigue

Why raise awareness? 🔹 Understanding: Psoriasis is not contagious—it’s an autoimmune disorder. Increased awareness can help reduce stigma and foster empathy for those affected. 🔹 Support: Encouraging support networks helps individuals manage both physical symptoms and emotional well-being. 🔹 Research: Spreading awareness can drive research efforts toward better treatments and, one day, a potential cure. To everyone affected by psoriasis, we stand with you, advocating for support, treatment advancements, and a future where psoriasis no longer limits lives.

Every year on October 24th, we observe World Polio Day, dedicated to raising awareness about the fight against polio and celebrating the progress made toward its eradication. Polio, a crippling and potentially deadly viral disease, primarily affects children under the age of five, attacking the nervous system and causing irreversible paralysis. Thanks to global vaccination efforts, cases have decreased by over 99%, but polio remains a threat in a few regions. Polio is preventable through vaccination, and early immunization is crucial to protecting children from this life-altering disease. In many countries, large-scale vaccination campaigns have brought us closer to a polio-free world. However, in areas where health infrastructure is fragile, access to the polio vaccine remains limited, and outbreaks can still occur. The significance of World Polio Day goes beyond celebrating the progress made—it’s a reminder that the fight isn’t over. Global cooperation, public health initiatives, and continued vaccination drives are essential to ensure no child suffers from polio again. As we mark World Polio Day, let’s continue to advocate for immunization, spread awareness about polio prevention, and support the goal of achieving complete eradication. A polio-free world is possible, and with collective effort, we can make this vision a reality #polio #poliovaccine #vaccine #outbreak #publichealth #paralysis #immunization #prevention

Every October 22nd, we raise awareness about stuttering—a speech disorder that affects over 70 million people worldwide. Stuttering involves disruptions in the flow of speech, such as repetitions, prolonged sounds, or pauses. It can range from mild to severe, impacting self-esteem and social interactions. To support those who stutter: - Be patient and listen without interrupting. - Create a relaxed environment to reduce anxiety. - Raise awareness to break stigma and promote inclusion. - Early intervention can help manage stuttering in children. Let’s foster understanding, kindness, and acceptance. #stuttering #stammer #speechtherapy #selfesteem #treatment #speechdisorder #disruption #stutter

On this World Iodine Deficiency Day, we shine a spotlight on the critical importance of iodine for newborn health. Iodine is essential for the production of thyroid hormones, which play a pivotal role in brain development, growth, and overall well-being during the early stages of life. Why is Iodine So Important? Iodine deficiency in pregnant and breastfeeding mothers can have serious consequences for their infants, including developmental delays, cognitive impairments, and conditions like cretinism, which leads to severe physical and mental disabilities. These issues can be prevented with adequate iodine intake. The Impact on Neonatal Health A healthy iodine level is vital not just for the mother but also for the baby’s thyroid function, which influences metabolism, growth, and brain development. During pregnancy, a mother’s iodine needs increase significantly, making it crucial to ensure that she consumes enough iodine-rich foods or supplements. What Can Be Done? Healthcare providers and expectant mothers should prioritize iodine nutrition through dietary sources such as iodized salt, dairy products, seafood, and certain grains. Regular screening for iodine levels can help identify deficiencies early, allowing for timely intervention. Let’s come together to raise awareness about iodine deficiency and advocate for proper nutrition for mothers and their newborns. Every child deserves a strong and healthy start in life! 🍼💚 #iodine #iodinedeficiency #breastfeeding #neonatal #thyroid #metabolism #growth #pregnancy #hospital #neonatalhospital

Today, we highlight the importance of pediatric bone and joint health, an often-overlooked aspect of children’s well-being. Healthy bones and joints are essential for a child’s growth, mobility, and overall quality of life. From the early stages of development, ensuring strong musculoskeletal health sets the foundation for a child’s lifelong physical strength and agility. 💪 Why is it important? Children’s bones and joints are still developing, making them more vulnerable to conditions like fractures, developmental disorders, or joint issues. Common pediatric orthopedic concerns include scoliosis, juvenile arthritis, and congenital deformities, which, if detected early, can be managed effectively. 🦴 Early Detection & Treatment Early identification of bone or joint issues is crucial. Parents and healthcare providers should watch for signs like persistent joint pain, limited mobility, or abnormal posture. Early interventions, including physical therapy, corrective procedures, or lifestyle changes, can greatly improve a child’s long-term musculoskeletal health. 👣 Prevention Starts Young Encouraging physical activity, a balanced diet rich in calcium and vitamin D, and good posture habits are essential steps in promoting strong bones and joints in children. These healthy habits reduce the risk of injury and developmental disorders as they grow. Let’s come together this World Pediatric Bone and Joint Day to raise awareness and ensure every child has the opportunity to develop strong bones and joints for a healthier, more active future! 🌍✨ #pediatrician #jointpain #pediatrics #scoliosis #orthopedics #bonefracture #bone #fracture #bonedevelopment #bonehealth #bonedensity #hospital #neonatalhospital

Today, we observe National Mammography Day, a day dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of regular mammograms in the early detection of breast cancer. Mammography remains one of the most effective tools in diagnosing breast cancer at its earliest stages—before symptoms even appear. 🌸 Why is it so important? 1. Early Detection: Mammograms can detect tumors too small to be felt, increasing the chances of successful treatment. Early detection can reduce the need for aggressive treatments like mastectomy or chemotherapy. 2. Lifesaving Impact: Regular screenings can lead to a 25-30% reduction in breast cancer-related deaths among women over 50. Women between 40-50 years of age should also start having these screenings, especially if they have a family history of breast cancer. 3. Non-Invasive & Fast: The mammogram is a quick, non-invasive procedure that takes about 20 minutes. It may be a little uncomfortable, but the benefits far outweigh the temporary discomfort. 💗 Who should get a mammogram? Women aged 40+ are encouraged to have annual screenings, and those with higher risk factors, such as a family history of breast cancer, should consult with their healthcare providers for more frequent or earlier screenings. Let’s make this National Mammography Day a reminder to prioritize our health and encourage the women around us to schedule their mammograms. Early detection is crucial for a future free from breast cancer. 📅 Schedule your mammogram today and inspire others to do the same. Together, we can fight breast cancer and save lives, one screening at a time! #mammogram #breastcancerscreening #earlydetection #3Dmammogram #digitalmammography #hospital #neonatalhospital #mammography #breastcancer #breastcancerawareness
