À toutes les mères qui ont connu un travail long et douloureux : l’accouchement devrait être source de joie, et non de douleur persistante. ❤️ Si vous souffrez de fuites d'urine ou de selles après un accouchement difficile, cette lésion médicale s'appelle une fistule. Ce n'est pas de votre faute, et cela peut se guérir. S'il vous plaît, partagez ce message avec vos sœurs, vos mères et vos amies au sein de votre communauté. Regardez cette courte vidéo de GLOWM pour en savoir plus : glowm.com/wow-fr-273 #SafeMotherhood #HealthCare #GLOWM #InternationalDayToEndObstetricFistula #MaternitéSansRisque #Santé pour tous @lightlykate @ProfBasky

It is not your fault, and it can be cured. Please share this with sisters, mothers and friends in your community. Watch this short GLOWM video to learn more: glowm.com/wow-1-273 #SafeMotherhood #HealthCare #GLOWM #InternationalDayToEndObstetricFistula @lightlykate @ProfBasky

A generation growing up with the HPV vaccine may never face cervical cancer and other HPV-related cancers the way previous generations did. An astonishing medical feat - and a reminder of what science makes possible.

Remember the NHS before 15 years of Tory austerity.. Same day GP 95% seen within 4 hours in A&E No queuing ambulances 92% specialist treatment within 18 weeks 85% started cancer treatment within 62 days It’s not the NHS model that’s the issue, it’s our choice of leadership!

Today, the world celebrates education day. But In Afghanistan, millions of girls woke up with nowhere to learn. So on this International Day of Education, remember Afghan girls.
