“Yes! We Can End TB: Led by Countries, Powered by People”

The Paediatric Association of Nigeria (PAN) joins the global community to emphasize that ending TB is possible when governments, health professionals, communities, and families work together.

👶 Protecting our children starts with awareness:
• Seek medical care for symptoms like persistent cough, fever, weight loss, or weakness
• Ensure early diagnosis and proper treatment
• Promote vaccination, good nutrition, and access to quality healthcare

💊 TB is curable when detected early and treated correctly.

Together, through stronger health systems and community action, we can protect our children and move closer to a TB-free future.

✨ Yes! We Can End TB. ✨

The World Down Syndrome 2026 theme, “Together Against Loneliness,” reminds us that no child should feel excluded or isolated.

👶 Children with Down syndrome have unique talents, abilities, and personalities. With the right support, education, and care, they can thrive and live fulfilling lives. Yet, many still face barriers that limit their inclusion in schools and communities.

The Paediatric Association of Nigeria (PAN) joins the global community to call for:
• 💛 Inclusion in schools and communities
• 🤝 Kindness, friendship, and support
• 🌍 Equal opportunities for every child

✨ Belonging matters. When we stand together against loneliness, we create a world where every child is seen, heard, and valued.

🌍 WORLD KIDNEY DAY 2026
Theme: Kidney Health for All: Caring for People, Protecting the Planet

The Paediatric Association of Nigeria joins the global community in raising awareness about kidney health in children.

Healthy kidneys are essential for every child’s growth and wellbeing. As we care for children today, we must also protect the environment that shapes their health tomorrow. Sustainable healthcare practices, early detection of kidney disease, and equitable access to care are critical to achieving Kidney Health for All.

👨‍⚕️ Paediatricians are encouraged to lead the way by promoting eco-friendly healthcare practices and advocating for better kidney care for children.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Parents and caregivers can help protect children’s kidneys by:
💧 Encouraging adequate water intake
🥗 Providing balanced nutrition
🏃 Promoting regular physical activity
💊 Avoiding unnecessary herbal or over-the-counter medications
🏥 Seeking medical care early when a child is ill

Protecting kidney health is a shared responsibility. Together, we can ensure a healthier future for our children and the planet they will inherit.
