A Call to Action from Bingham University Teaching Hospital (BHUTH): Be a Handwashing Hero!

Commemorating World Global Handwashing Day 2025

Theme: "Be a Handwashing Hero!"

Today, October 15th, Bingham University Teaching Hospital (BHUTH) marks Global Handwashing Day by championing the powerful, multi-year theme: "Be a Handwashing Hero!"

The most accessible and affordable defense against infection is not found in complex technology, but in the simple act of washing our hands with soap and water. This single action is proven to safeguard health, prevent the spread of critical diseases, and save lives across our community.

The Power of a Handwashing Hero
The call to be a hero is a challenge for consistent, meaningful action from every citizen.

* Self-Protection: Heroes shield themselves and their families. This means rigorously washing your hands for at least 20 seconds at all critical moments: before handling food, after using the restroom, and after contact with respiratory secretions. You are protecting your loved ones from diarrhea, respiratory illnesses, and other infections.

* Community Leadership: A Handwashing Hero is a role model. Whether you are a student, staff member, parent, or community leader, your personal commitment to proper hand hygiene sets the standard and encourages others to adopt this life-saving practice.

* Systemic Support: Within BHUTH, our staff adheres strictly to the WHO’s Five Moments for Hand Hygiene. Outside, this heroism means advocating for reliable access to clean water and soap in all public and private settings—securing the infrastructure for lasting hygiene.

This collective commitment drastically reduces preventable disease, helps combat Antimicrobial Resistance, and builds a healthier, stronger nation.

Our Challenge to You
On this Global Handwashing Day, BHUTH urges every member of our community to embrace this vital mission:

* Form the Habit: Integrate handwashing as an essential, non-negotiable part of your daily life.

* Speak Up: Encourage and remind others—clean hands are a shared responsibility.

* Lead by Example: Show the world what a Handwashing Hero looks like.
Let us recognize the immense power in our hands and commit to being heroes, one thorough wash at a time!

Protecting Your Vision: A Priceless Asset

Our eyes are our windows to the world, allowing us to experience the beauty and complexity of our surroundings. Given the profound importance of sight, it's startling to learn that at least 2.2 billion people globally live with vision impairment or blindness, with the World Health Organization (WHO) estimating that 1 billion of these cases were entirely preventable. This staggering statistic underscores why proactive eye care isn't a luxury, but a necessity for long-term health and well-being.

The Global Reality of Vision Impairment

The WHO highlights several key facts about the global burden of vision loss:

* Preventable Conditions: The leading culprits behind vision impairment are often preventable or treatable. These include uncorrected refractive errors like nearsightedness and cataracts, which can often be surgically corrected. In fact, a remarkable 80% of all vision impairment is considered avoidable, meaning it can be prevented, treated, or cured.

* Economic Consequences: Beyond the personal impact, vision loss has significant economic ramifications. The annual global cost from lost productivity due to uncorrected vision impairment is estimated to be in the trillions of dollars, demonstrating the clear societal and economic benefit of investing in eye health initiatives.

* Health Disparities: The burden of vision impairment isn't distributed equally. It disproportionately affects people in low- and middle-income countries, where access to essential eye care services is often limited.
Basic Steps to Safeguard Your Sight
Taking care of your eyes involves a combination of smart habits and protective measures.

* Get Regular Eye Exams: Comprehensive eye exams with an ophthalmologist or optometrist are crucial. These exams can detect vision problems and diseases in their early stages, even before you notice symptoms, which is key to preventing permanent vision loss.

* Use Protective Eyewear: Always wear safety glasses or goggles during activities that could harm your eyes, such as using power tools or playing certain sports. When outdoors, use sunglasses that block 99% to 100% of UVA and UVB rays. This protection is vital, as prolonged sun exposure can contribute to cataracts and other eye conditions.

* Practice the 20-20-20 Rule: To combat digital eye strain from screens, take a break every 20 minutes to look at something 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds. This simple practice helps relax your eye muscles and reduce fatigue.

* Eat for Eye Health: Your diet plays a major role in vision health. Consume foods rich in vitamins A, C, and E, as well as zinc and omega-3 fatty acids. Leafy greens, for instance, are full of lutein and zeaxanthin, which can help prevent age-related macular degeneration.

* Maintain Good Hygiene: Always wash your hands before touching your eyes or handling contact lenses to prevent infections. Avoid rubbing your eyes, as this can cause irritation and introduce germs.
By being proactive about your eye health, you can preserve your most valuable sense and maintain a high quality of life for years to come. You can visit bhuth Eye clinic for further counselling or a send a mail to info@bhuth.org.ng.

Staying Safe from Cholera: A Guide to Prevention and Action

Cholera, an acute diarrheal infection, is a significant global health threat, particularly in regions with limited access to clean water and sanitation. It's caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae, which releases a toxin that causes the body to lose massive amounts of fluid. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that cholera affects millions of people annually, and a recent increase in cholera-related deaths underscores the need for effective public health measures.

How Cholera Spreads and What to Look For

Cholera is primarily spread through the ingestion of water or food contaminated with the f***s of an infected person. Inadequate sanitation and poor hygiene are the main drivers of outbreaks. Common sources include tainted public wells, contaminated street food, and seafood harvested from polluted waters

When symptoms appear, they can range from mild to life-threatening. The most recognizable symptom is severe watery diarrhea, often called "rice-water stools" due to its distinctive appearance. This is typically accompanied by vomiting and leg cramps. Without rapid treatment, the resulting dehydration can lead to shock, kidney failure, and death within hours. Signs of severe dehydration include a rapid heartbeat, low blood pressure, and a loss of skin elasticity.

Taking Action: Key Preventive Measures

Preventing cholera focuses on improving hygiene and sanitation practices. Taking these steps can significantly reduce your risk of infection:

* Secure your water supply: Always drink and use water that has been bottled, boiled, or properly treated with chlorine. This is crucial for cooking and personal hygiene as well.

* Practice rigorous hand hygiene: Make a habit of washing your hands with soap and safe water frequently, especially before preparing food or eating, and after using the bathroom.

* Handle food with care: Cook all food thoroughly and eat it while it is hot. Avoid raw or undercooked seafood and unpeeled fruits and vegetables that may have been washed with unsafe water.

* Ensure proper sanitation: Use a toilet or other designated safe sanitation facility. Avoid open defecation to prevent contamination of local water sources.

* Consider vaccination: If you are traveling to or living in a high-risk area, an oral cholera vaccine can provide an additional layer of protection.

By understanding the causes, symptoms, and preventive measures, you can protect yourself and your community from the devastating effects of a cholera outbreak.
