Did you know that Malaria is caused by a tiny germ that gets into our blood when an infected mosquito bites you and injects the germ directly into your bloodstream?
Knowing that mosquitoes carry this germ, here are some of the most effective ways to stop them from reaching our families

-Sleep Under Treated Mosquito Nets: Everyone must sleep under a treated net every single night, all year round. Make sure children and pregnant mothers are tucked in first.
-Support Indoor Spraying: When health workers come to spray your home, welcome them. The spray kills mosquitoes that rest on your walls before they can bite your family.
-Get Rid of Stagnant Water: Mosquitoes lay eggs in standing water. Walk around your yard and clear away empty tins, plastic bottles, or old pots, and clear away tall grass. If there is no standing water, mosquitoes cannot breed near your home.

Be reminded that an ordinary case of malaria may present with fever, headaches, shivering, and body aches. This is the time to go to the clinic immediately for a quick finger-prick test and get treatment before things get worse.

Lets talk about Mental Health!

Choma General Hospital has continued to witness a rise in mental health cases in the past years with the leading cause being substance abuse especially among the youths.
For many youths substance abuse starts with experimenting with a curious mind while others its due to peer pressure and misinformation.
Among young women, the traditional use of "insuko" which is believed by the community to be used for warmth and other reasons is silently leading to substance dependency, addiction and mental breakdowns.
Even more dangerous is "chijabo", concoctions brewed for a stronger euphoric sensations , but with devastating consequences for the mind and life at large.
Mental health is as important as your physical health. It’s time we talk about it and protect our mental health.
Let's fight and prevent Substance Abuse together. For a better and mentally sound future.

Choma General Hospital was last week (20th to 25th) blessed and delighted to host Beit CURE Children's Hospital - Zambia for their Surgical Orthopedica camp outreach.

During the outreach camp 305 patients were screened, each with their own story, hope, and courage. From young children to adults.

Out of those screened, 51 successful surgeries were done giving not just treatment, but a renewed chance at life;

39 children now have the opportunity to grow, play, and dream without limitation
12 adults have taken a powerful step toward restored health and independence.

Grateful to the entire team both from Choma General Hospital and Beit CURE Children's Hopsital-Zambia whose dedication continues to turn compassion into action.
