🌍 Addressing Childhood Obesity: A Shared Responsibility for a Healthier Future

Childhood obesity is one of the most pressing global health challenges of our time, affecting millions of children and adolescents worldwide. If left unaddressed, obesity increases the risk of serious health complications, including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and other non-communicable diseases later in life.

As healthcare professionals, policymakers, and caregivers, we have a collective responsibility to create environments that foster healthy eating habits, regular physical activity, and equitable access to nutritious food and quality healthcare. Prevention must start early, with education and policies that support healthier lifestyles for children and their families.

On World Obesity Day, the International Pediatric Association reaffirms its commitment to tackling childhood obesity through advocacy, research, and collaboration with global health partners. Together, we can ensure that every child has the opportunity to grow up healthy and thrive.

📢 Join us in raising awareness and advocating for policies that prioritize child health!

Today is World Epilepsy Day

Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders.
Anyone can develop it at any age. It’s not contagious and it's treatable.
Advices during a seizure:
1.Stay calm with the person until they are awake and alert.
2.Create a safe place. Remove anything near them that can cause an injury.
3.Turn them gently on their side, with their mouth pointing to the ground. This will keep their airway clear.
4.Time the seizure to track if it lasts more than 5 minutes. If it does, seek immediate medical attention or call 114.
5.When the seizure is over, help them sit in a safe place to recover and provide reassurance.
6.DO NOT RESTRAIN THE PERSON.
7.DO NOT PUT ANYTHING IN THEIR MOUTH.

Encore une nouvelle tragédie.😢
C'est quoi le syndrome de mort subite du nourrisson (SMSN)?🧐
Comme son nom l’indique, le syndrome de mort subite du nourrisson (SMSN) désigne la mort inattendue d’un bébé. Ce syndrome se produit généralement durant le sommeil : un bébé en bonne santé s’endort et cesse de respirer, sans cause médicale apparente.

Comment prévenir?🚫
Comme certains facteurs de risque associés au SMSN sont bien connus, il est possible de diminuer efficacement le risque de mort subite du nourrisson en suivant les recommandations suivantes :
• Couchez votre bébé sur le dos, et non pas sur le ventre.
• Faites dormir votre bébé sur un matelas ferme et plat.
• Ne mettez ni oreiller, ni édredon, ni contour de lit, ni peluches dans son lit.Evitez les couvertures Lourdes pour couvrir votre bébé
• Evitez de fumer à l'intérieur de la maison.
• Allaitez votre bébé. L’allaitement maternel est un facteur de protection contre le SMSN.
• Faites chambre commune avec votre bébé,mais non dans le même lit
• Donnez une sucette à votre bébé.
