Do you know what your blood pressure numbers mean?

A reading of 140/90 or higher may mean you have high blood pressure. Hypertension often has no symptoms, so regular checks are essential for early detection and timely care.

In the Western Pacific Region, millions of adults are affected by hypertension – but many are unaware they have it.

Check your pressure. Protect your future.

🦠 Hantavirus: A Global Reminder

📜 History
First recognized in Asia in the 1950s (Hemorrhagic Fever with Renal Syndrome, HFRS), hantavirus gained global attention during the 1993 “Four Corners” outbreak in the U.S. (Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome, HPS).

🌍 Regions of the World

• Asia & Europe: HFRS, linked to field voles and rats.
• Americas: HPS, carried by deer mice, with high fatality rates.
• South America: Andes virus, the only strain with limited human-to-human transmission.

👷 Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs)
The MV Hondius cruise outbreak reminds us that Filipino crew abroad can be exposed to rodent-borne risks. Protecting OFWs means ensuring safe working environments and rapid health monitoring.

🏥 World Health Organization’s Position
WHO emphasizes rodent control, safe cleaning practices, and early recognition of symptoms. Outbreaks are rare but severe, requiring vigilance without panic.

⚠️ Global Risk?
Cases remain uncommon worldwide, but ecological changes, travel, and closed environments (ships, barns, cabins) can trigger sudden clusters.

💡 Public Reminder
Stay calm. Be self-aware.
Fever + severe myalgia + sudden respiratory failure after rodent exposure → Think Hantavirus early.
