Donate : To save lives, medical attention is needed now more than ever; and WHO teams are on the ground responding.

  The situation in Gaza is unimaginable. In just a few months, over 27,000 people, three quarters of whom are women, and children, have died. The survivors are injured, and in hospitals without enough medicines, fuel, water, or staff to treat them. 1.7 million people are displaced, without a home amidst the fighting, making them more vulnerable to disease, and malnutrition. Under these desperate conditions, WHO teams are risking their lives to make sure every wounded, sick, and traumatized person can find the healthcare they urgently need. Since the conflict began, WHO, and its partners, have provided healthcare, and medical services, to over half a million people in dire conditions. The situation is beyond desperate, and health needs are increasingly critical. Too many lives have already been lost. We need your help to protect those in need. Please, donate today. DONATE NOW

Let the public accelerate tobacco and E-cigarette measures

  The World Health Organization is calling on countries in South-East Asia Region to intensify efforts to control tobacco and e-cigarette use, as despite steep decline over the years tobacco consumption in the Region continues to be the highest globally, and vaping is on the rise. “The Region still has the highest number of people using tobacco which puts them at risk of life-threatening diseases such as cancer, respiratory and heart disease. Urgent measures are also needed to control e-cigarettes, which have not been proven to be effective for smoking cessation. We must do all we can to control tobacco and e-cigarette use to protect health and save lives,” said Ms Saima Wazed, Regional Director, WHO South-East Asia. While tobacco use in the WHO South-East Asia Region decreased from 68.9% in 2000 to around 43.7% in 2022, an estimated 411 million people in the Region still consume tobacco, as per the latest trends released this year.

Inclusion of non-communicable disease in response to humanitarian emergency will help to save lives

  Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, chronic respiratory disease and diabetes, are responsible for 75% of deaths worldwide. People affected by humanitarian emergencies are at increased risk of NCDs. It is estimated that strokes and heart attacks are up to 3 times more likely following a disaster. However, care and treatment for NCDs are often not included as a standard part of humanitarian emergency preparedness and response, which focus on the most immediate needs.  To support integration of essential services for NCDs into emergency preparedness and humanitarian response, the World Health Organization (WHO), the Kingdom of Denmark, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, the Republic of Kenya, and UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, are jointly convening a global high-level technical meeting on NCDs in humanitarian settings on 27-29 February in Copenhagen, Denmark. Humanitarian emergencies in recent years are becoming more complex and interconnected. Hunger a

Alcohol consumption has No Safe level

A lcohol is a psychoactive substance with dependence-producing properties that has been widely used in many cultures for centuries. The harmful use of alcohol causes a high burden of disease and has significant social and economic consequences. The harmful use of alcohol can also result in harm to other people, such as family members, friends, co-workers and strangers. Alcohol consumption is a causal factor in more than 200 diseases, injuries and other health conditions. Drinking alcohol is associated with a risk of developing health problems such as mental and behavioural disorders, including alcohol dependence, and major noncommunicable diseases such as liver cirrhosis, some cancers and cardiovascular diseases. A significant proportion of the disease burden attributable to alcohol consumption arises from unintentional and intentional injuries, including those due to road traffic crashes, violence, and suicide. Fatal alcohol-related injuries tend to occur in relatively younger age gro

Discovered a Hole in the Bottom of the Ocean: A Hole Found At The Bottom Of The Ocean Could Trigger Major Earthquakes

The ocean is one of the most mysterious places on earth , and despite centuries of exploration, it still holds countless secrets waiting to be discovered. Recently, a group of scientists made an exciting and groundbreaking discovery that could change our understanding of the ocean and the planet itself. They found a hole in the bottom of the ocean, and what’s more, it seems to be connected to the earth’s mantle. Bermuda triangle mystery  The discovery was made by a team of geologists, geophysicists, and oceanographers from several universities, including the University of Maryland, the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, and the University of New Hampshire. The area they studied was the South Atlantic Ocean , between Brazil and Namibia, where the ocean floor is spreading and new crust is forming. Using advanced seafloor mapping technology, the team discovered a hole in the ocean floor that is about 10 meters in diameter and 200 meters deep. This may not sound like a big deal on the s
