The flu season is upon us coupled with an upsurge of covid. We can protect ourselves and our families by getting the flu vaccine.
We should also stay home to prevent the spread of the illness especially to those who are vulnerable in our communities.
Frequent handwashing, avoiding to touch our faces and practicing cough etiquette will also reduce the spread of the illness.
Keep safe and mask on.

Anaemia, or low blood level is rampant here in Mombasa. Treating anaemia takes a long time, why don't we practice one of the things that can help?
Delayed cord clamping can help improve iron stores for up to 6-8 months with numerous benefits to both term and preterm babies.
If your baby comes out vigorous and crying and you are having no complications at delivery, delayed cord clamping can be safely done to help achieve the numerous benefits including transfer of other cells like white blood cells and stem cells.
Practice delayed cord clamping at your delivery if its safe for you and your baby.

When I Came to Mombasa, the first illness I was warned about was Dengue Fever and the worst thing about the mosquito that causes it, is that it bites at anytime.
Mosquitoes will also cause malaria, chikungunya and other illnesses. Did you know some people have an allergic reaction to a mosquito bite?🤔

Handwashing and Immunization are the two most important things you can do to prevent your child from getting rotavirus and other viral infections that cause diarrhoea.
This way you get to be in control, unfortunately once your little one gets the tummy bugs it's out of your hands. You now focus on hydrating your child until the disease runs its course.
It's been bad since last month here in Mombasa with rota and adenovirus causing havoc.
Has your child gotten rotavirus? How did you cope?
