As healthcare professionals, patient safety always comes first. Recently, Loku Kennedy Alfonso had to politely refuse administering a drug that was already aspirated in a syringe before reaching the health facility. This decision was not meant to disrespect or disappoint anyone but rather to uphold professional ethics and protect the patient.

Once a medication is prepared outside the supervision of a qualified health worker, it becomes difficult to verify its identity, dosage, sterility, and safety. In healthcare, even small mistakes can have serious consequences. That is why professionals are trained to follow strict procedures when handling and administering medications.

We kindly encourage patients and caregivers to bring medications in their original packaging and allow healthcare workers to prepare and administer them appropriately. Your cooperation helps us provide safe, accountable, and quality care to everyone.

Thank you for understanding that every professional decision we make is guided by the commitment to save lives and protect health.

💪Obesity is a complex health condition, not just a matter of willpower. It is also largely preventable and manageable with the right support.

*Prevention starts early:*

👶 During pregnancy: healthy weight gain supports long-term child health.

🍼 In infancy: exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months helps reduce future risk.

🏃 In childhood: encourage daily movement, balanced diet and good sleep habits.

*For adults, prevention includes:*

🧁 Limit fats and sugars
🥗 Eat more vegetables and fruit
🚰 Drink enough water
🚶‍♀️ Regular physical activity (any is better than none!)
📵 Limit screen time
🛌 Get enough sleep

Creating supportive communities where healthy choices are accessible and affordable is essential.

An an encounter with a client at the facility on Wednesday.

Client: Dr, is it true that there is an outbreak of more dangerous diseases than covid19 in India?

Dr: There's reported case of a viral disease (nipah virus) in India yes. However, here is a detail about the report of the virus in India more about the disease.

🦠 India has reported two confirmed cases of Nipah virus (NiV) in West Bengal, both among health-care workers at the same hospital.

🏥One patient is receiving intensive care, the other is recovering. Importantly, over 190 contacts have been tested and all are negative, and no new cases have been detected so far.

What is Nipah virus?

🦇 Nipah is a rare but serious disease that can spread from animals (especially fruit bats) to people, and sometimes between people through close contact.

🧠 Symptoms can range from fever and headaches to severe brain infection. There is no specific vaccine or treatment yet, but early supportive care saves lives.

📊 WHO assesses the risk as moderate locally, and low nationally, regionally and globally.

How to reduce risk:

✅ Wash and peel fruits
✅ Avoid raw date palm sap
✅ Wash hands often
✅ Seek care early if symptoms appear

Why is breastfeeding critical for babies?

Breastmilk is the perfect food for babies, providing complete nutrition while being naturally safe, clean, and ready to feed without any preparation, even in areas with poor water quality or sanitation.

More than just nutrition, breastmilk acts as powerful medicine that's specially designed for each baby's needs, with the first milk (colostrum) packed with antibodies that protect against disease and death.
