National Stroke Week serves as a vital reminder of the importance of recognising stroke signs and acting swiftly.

By being aware of sudden numbness, difficulty speaking, vision problems, or a severe headache, you can save a life.

This week, let's come together to spread awareness and educate our communities.

Encourage your friends and family to learn the signs and join the fight against stroke.

Additionally, take charge of your health and book an appointment with your doctor.

Together, we can build a healthier tomorrow and reduce the impact of stroke on our loved ones.

In regard to World Hepatitis Day held on July 28th, with the purpose of increasing awareness regarding viral hepatitis and its global impact on public health.

The primary goal of this day is to foster a better understanding of hepatitis, its prevention measures, and the significance of testing and treatment.

Hepatitis comprises a group of infectious diseases that primarily affect the liver, predominantly caused by hepatitis viruses such as A, B, C, D, and E.

Viral hepatitis poses a significant concern for public health on a global scale, resulting in millions of fatalities.

By joining the movement, we can work towards eradicating viral hepatitis in Australia. To support this cause, visit https://www.worldhepatitisday.org.au/world_hepatitis_day_in_australia or consult your doctor to get tested.

This National Diabetes Week, let's unite to raise awareness of this disease and support those living with it.

Bowel cancer is Australia's second deadliest cancer, making it all the more important to raise awareness and educate yourself about the disease.

Despite it being deadly, it is, in fact, one of the most treatable types of cancer when detected and treated early.

Although there is no cure for MS, many treatment options are available to manage the condition once diagnosed.

If you or your loved ones experience blurred vision, weak limbs, tingling sensations, unsteadiness, memory problems, and fatigue, don't ignore them and speak to one of our EFMSC doctors immediately.

It's not uncommon for adults and children to feel down or depressed when they're going through stressful or overwhelming challenges.

Although stress is a normal part of life that one has to overcome, there are ways to cope with reducing stressful feelings.

• Take care of yourself by eating healthy, exercising, getting enough sleep and taking breaks.
• Practice self-care like meditating and avoiding alcohol.
• Participate in activities that can help you unwind.
• Talk to others about what you're going through. Recognise when you need to talk to a professional.

If you or someone you know is struggling with their mental health, book an appointment with our psychologist.
