Prickly heat (heat rash) is common in warm weather and happens when sweat gets trapped under the skin. It can feel uncomfortable, but it’s usually harmless and clears up on its own.

Common symptoms include:
• Small red or raised spots on the skin 🌡️🔴
• An itchy, prickly or stinging feeling 🤧⚡
• Mild swelling or irritation 💧✨
• Often appears on the neck, chest, back or skin folds 👕🌿

What can help:
• Keep your skin cool and avoid overheating ❄️💙
• Wear loose, breathable clothing like cotton 👕🌿
• Stay well hydrated 💧✨
• Use cool compresses or showers to soothe the skin 🚿🧊

Heat rash usually improves within a few days, but if it doesn’t get better or you’re concerned, seek advice.

• Checking in with yourself and taking time to rest and recharge 💙🌿
• Reaching out to someone who might need support 🤝✨
• Talking openly about mental health to reduce stigma 🗣️💬
• Getting involved in your community or supporting others 🌍💛

Small actions can have a big impact on wellbeing, helping create a more supportive and understanding environment for everyone. 💙✨

Too many women still die from preventable causes during pregnancy and childbirth.

Skilled care before, during, and after birth can save lives — and midwives are best placed to provide it.

📊 Achieving universal coverage of midwife-delivered interventions by 2035 could avert 67% of these deaths.
⚠️ But the world is short of one million midwives.

Urgent action is needed to grow, support, and sustain the global midwifery workforce.

• Understand your triggers and how to avoid them 🌿⚠️
• Take the right medication at the right time 💊🩺
• Spot early warning signs of an asthma attack 👀💨
• Know when to seek urgent medical help 🚑⏱️
