SUMMARY:Migraine Awareness Week
DESCRIPTION:Migraine is a complex neurological condition which is classified by the World Health Organisation as the 7th most disabling disease in the world\, and the most common neurological condition\, affecting about 12 – 15% of people. \n\n\n\nIt is three times more common in women than it is in men and is usually inherited. It is a very individual condition. Some people experience only one or two attacks per year while others suffer on a weekly basis. An attack can last from 4 to 72 hours. \n\n\n\nThe Migraine Association of Ireland’s goal is to provide relief for sufferers of Migraine through support\, self education\, information and resources for Healthcare professionals.

SUMMARY:World Suicide Prevention Day
DESCRIPTION:World Suicide Prevention Day\, marked annually on 10 September\, is organized by the International Association for Suicide Prevention\, in conjunction with the World Health Organization (WHO). \n\n\n\nThe theme for 2024 – 2026 ‘Changing the Narrative on Suicide’ is about moving from a culture of silence and shame to understanding and support. It encourages people\, communities\, institutions and governments—all of us—to have open and honest discussions about suicide and suicidal behaviour. \n\n\n\nWith an estimated 208 000 lives lost every year\, suicide is a major issue in our South-East Asia Region. It remains one of the leading causes of death\, affecting people of all ages\, genders\, and backgrounds. \n\n\n\nBy breaking the stigma surrounding mental health and suicide\, we create a culture where people feel safe to seek help. It is vital to ensure that no one feels alone\, and that everyone knows support systems and interventions are available. \n\n\n\nSuicides are preventable — but prevention is not easy. It requires collective effort\, awareness\, and a commitment to fostering hope\, healing\, and connection. More than responding to individual crises\, it is about building strong and inclusive communities where people feel connected\, valued\, and supported. Even small acts of kindness\, honest conversations\, or simply being present for someone can make a profound difference. \n\n\n\nThe WHO South-East Asia Regional Office has been providing technical support to Member States to implement the LIVE LIFE initiative\, a package of evidence-based interventions for suicide prevention and underlying cross-cutting pillars. \n\n\n\nThe LIVE LIFE implementation guide provides technical guidance for the delivery of four key multisectoral interventions\, and six foundational pillars. \n\n\n\nThe four interventions are: \n\n\n\n1. Limiting access to the means of suicide2. Interacting with media for responsible reporting of suicide3. Fostering socio-emotional life-skills in young people4. Early identification and support to everyone affected by suicide and self-harm \n\n\n\nThe implementation of these is supported by six foundational pillars: \n\n\n\n1. Situation analysis2. Multisectoral collaboration3. Awareness raising and advocacy4. Capacity building5. Financing6. Surveillance\, monitoring and evaluation \n\n\n\nThe interventions can be integrated into health\, community and other settings\, and are a starting point to building a multi-level\, multi-sectoral approach to suicide prevention. \n\n\n\nAs we reflect on these strategies\, let us remember suicide prevention starts with us. It is our words\, our compassion and our patient listening that can save lives. \n\n\n\nOn World Suicide Prevention Day 2025\, let us start the conversation. Talk openly about suicide and suicide prevention\, show compassion\, offer support\, and listen without judgment. \n\n\n\nChange the narrative. Suicide is not inevitable\, it is preventable—and must be prevented.  \n\n\n\nBy Dr Catharina Boehme\, Officer-in-Charge\, WHO South-East Asia

SUMMARY:World Sepsis Day
DESCRIPTION:World Sepsis Day is held globally on September 13th every year to raise awareness about the condition and promote preventative measures. Sepsis is the body’s extreme\, life-threatening response to an infection\, often referred to as the number one preventable cause of death globally\, claiming at least 11 million lives annually.  \n\n\n\nBecause sepsis is poorly understood by the general public\, this annual campaign focuses on educating people about early recognition and clean care\, which can reduce mortality rates by up to 50%.  \n\n\n\nKey Sepsis Awareness Points \n\n\n\nUnderstanding the red flags is vital for early intervention. Early signs often include:  \n\n\n\n\nSlurred speech or confusion\n\n\n\nExtreme shivering or severe muscle pain\n\n\n\nPassing no urine throughout the day\n\n\n\nSevere breathlessness\n\n\n\nIt feeling like “you are going to die”\n\n\n\nSkin that is mottled or discolored \n\n\n\n\nHow to Get Involved \n\n\n\nIndividuals\, healthcare workers\, and organizations participate by hosting local events\, sharing educational materials\, and raising funds. In Ireland\, the Health Service Executive (HSE) and various local charities routinely spearhead awareness campaigns in hospitals and community centers during September.
