July is Hepatitis Awareness Month! Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver and can be complex, as each type (A, B, and C) requires a specific approach. Swipe through to learn the different ways they spread, and more importantly, how you can protect yourself.

While they all differ in spread, they share one common risk: unprotected s*x can lead to transmission. Taking precautions, using barrier methods like condoms, and knowing your status are vital steps for your overall health. Many people carry hepatitis without any symptoms.
Testing is the ONLY way to know for sure. Early diagnosis leads to better outcomes.

👉 Don't wait for symptoms to appear. Schedule your check-up at Astra Medical Clinic today.

Brain injuries can affect anyone, at any age, and their impact often extends beyond the visible symptoms. Changes in memory, concentration, mood, communication, and daily functioning can continue long after the initial injury.
🧠 Brain injuries may result from falls, sports injuries, motor vehicle accidents, strokes, or other medical conditions.
🧠 Many individuals living with brain injuries face challenges that are not immediately apparent to others.
🧠 Early assessment, rehabilitation, and ongoing support can play an important role in recovery and quality of life.
This month, we recognize the resilience of those living with brain injuries and help raise awareness about the importance of understanding, support, and access to care.

Over 3.8 million Canadians live with asthma, and more than half of them have symptoms that aren’t well controlled.
Asthma causes the airways to become inflamed and narrow, making breathing difficult. Common symptoms include:
🔴 Frequent coughing or wheezing
🔴 Shortness of breath during physical activity
🔴 Waking up at night due to breathing difficulties
If these symptoms sound familiar, your asthma may need better management. With the right care and action plan, most people with asthma can sleep well, stay active, and live without daily disruptions.
Don’t ignore the signs. Speak with a healthcare provider about your breathing.

May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month, and it’s a good time to talk about the most common cancer in Canada.
About one third of all new cancer diagnoses in Canada are skin cancers, and the numbers continue to rise. The good news? Most cases are preventable.
Here’s how to protect your skin this season:
☀️ Cover up - wear light-coloured, long-sleeved clothing and a wide-brimmed hat when the UV index is 3 or higher
🕐 Limit midday sun - UV exposure is strongest between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m.
🏖️ Skip the tanning bed - there is no such thing as a safe tan
Sun safety is a year-round habit, not just a summer one. Start building yours today.

Mental health is not just the absence of illness, it’s the foundation of how we think, feel, connect, and move through the world.
This Mental Health Week, we want to take a moment to acknowledge something important: more than one billion people worldwide are living with a mental health condition. Yet the gap between those who need support and those who receive it remains wide.

🤝 Staying connected - meaningful relationships are protective
🏘️ Seeking safe environments - at home, at work, and in community
💬 Talking to someone - a healthcare provider, counsellor, or trusted person
