Hypertension (high blood pressure) is a chronic condition where the force of blood pushing against artery walls is consistently too high. It is often called a "silent killer" because it typically has no noticeable symptoms, but it significantly increases the risk of life-threatening events like heart attacks and strokes

Good morning dear valued clients, happy new week 😊

Warm greetings from Faleti Medical Centre.

As part of our commitment to your health, we would like to create awareness about Hantavirus.

Hantaviruses are a group of viruses carried by rodents (such as rats) that can cause serious illness in humans. Infection can occur through contact with rodent urine, droppings, or saliva, or by inhaling contaminated air.

Prevention tips:

- Keep your environment clean and free from rodents
- Store food properly and dispose of waste promptly
- Avoid contact with rodent droppings; do not handle with bare hands
- Ensure good ventilation when cleaning enclosed spaces
- Practice regular handwashing and proper hygiene

Watch out for symptoms such as:
Fever, fatigue, body aches, and difficulty breathing. If you notice any of these after possible exposure, please visit the hospital immediately.

Your health is our priority.

Wishing you a safe, healthy, and productive week ahead 💙

Situation at a glance
On 2 May 2026, a cluster of passengers with severe respiratory illness aboard a cruise ship was reported to the World Health Organization. The ship is carrying 147 passengers and crew. As of 4 May 2026, seven cases (two laboratory confirmed cases of hantavirus and five suspected cases) have been identified, including three deaths, one critically ill patient and three individuals reporting mild symptoms. Illness onset occurred between 6 and 28 April 2026 and was characterized by fever, gastrointestinal symptoms, rapid progression to pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome and shock. Further investigations are ongoing. The outbreak is being managed through coordinated international response, and includes in-depth investigations, case isolation and care, medical evacuation and laboratory investigations. Human hantavirus infection is primarily acquired through contact with the urine, faeces, or saliva of infected rodents. It is a rare but severe disease that can be deadly. Although uncommon, limited human to human transmission has been reported in previous outbreaks of Andes virus (a specific species of hantavirus). WHO currently assesses the risk to the global population from this event as low and will continue to monitor the epidemiological situation and update the risk assessment.
