Sakit sa Puso, Kanser at Stroke ang tatlong nangungunang sanhi ng pagkamatay ng mga Pilipino noong 2023 at 2024. Ang paninigarilyo ay napatunayan nang nagdudulot ng tatlong sakit na ito.

Nakamamatay ang pagyoyosi.

Itigil na ang paninigarilyo; protektahan ang kalusugan mo, dahil Bawat Buhay Mahalaga!

The National Nutrition Council (NNC) supports the Department of Health’s (DOH) advisory reminding the public to remain vigilant against hantaviruses and other rodent-borne diseases through proper sanitation, food safety, and preventive health practices.

While there are currently no confirmed cases of hantavirus in the Philippines, maintaining clean surroundings and observing proper hygiene remain important in reducing health risks associated with rodent infestation and environmental contamination.

The NNC also encourages the public to follow the Pinggang Pinoy food guide by consuming balanced meals consisting of Go, Grow, and Glow foods in appropriate portions. Staying properly hydrated, maintaining an active lifestyle, and making healthy food choices are likewise important in promoting overall health and well-being, especially during the summer season.

To help prevent rodent-borne diseases:

- Keep homes and surroundings clean
- Store food and water properly
- Practice proper waste disposal
- Avoid direct contact with rodent droppings and nesting materials
- Wear gloves and face masks when cleaning potentially contaminated areas
- Disinfect contaminated surfaces before sweeping or wiping to minimize airborne particles

Individuals experiencing symptoms such as fever, fatigue, muscle pain, headache, or difficulty breathing following possible exposure to rodents are advised to seek immediate medical consultation.

By keeping our surroundings clean, practicing proper hygiene, and making healthy lifestyle and food choices, we can all contribute to preventing disease and promoting safer and healthier communities.

Ni****ne addiction isn’t just about what happens to your body. It’s also the environment around us.

With smoke-free and vape-free spaces, it's harder to start and easier to quit.

In Cambodia, WHO is working with the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Tourism and Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports, to reinforce the country’s ban on e-cigarettes and heated to***co products through policy dialogue, technical guidance and health education.
