# Mpox in Burundi: A Wake-Up Call for Ethiopia? The mpox outbreak in Burundi offers a sobering glimpse into the challenges of managing a viral disease, especially in a resource-limited setting. It also serves as a stark reminder for Ethiopia to strengthen its preparedness for potential outbreaks. The Reality on the Ground: • "It was so painful I couldn’t sleep." - Egide Irambona, a mpox patient, describes the excruciating pain he experienced from swollen lymph nodes. • "I am worried about the numbers. If they keep increasing, there is no capacity for us to handle that." - Dr. Odette Nsavyimana, doctor in charge at the King Khaled University Hospital, expresses concern over the overwhelming number of patients and limited resources. • "Many people do not understand the gravity of this issue. Even where there have been cases, people still just mingle." - Dr. Liliane Nkengurutse, national director for the Centre for Public Health Emergency Operations, highlights the challenge of limited public awareness and the need for increased education. Lessons for Ethiopia: • Invest in Public Health Infrastructure: The lack of testing facilities, kits, and vaccines in Burundi highlights the need for Ethiopia to invest in its public health infrastructure to be better prepared. • Promote Public Awareness: The limited understanding of the risks and transmission of mpox in Burundi emphasizes the importance of proactive public health campaigns to educate citizens and promote preventive measures. • Ensure Access to Clean Water and Sanitation: Limited water access in Burundi makes maintaining hygiene practices difficult. Ethiopia should prioritize access to clean water and sanitation facilities for all. The mpox outbreak in Burundi is a stark reminder that preparedness is crucial. Let's learn from this situation and strengthen our public health systems in Ethiopia to ensure we are ready to face future challenges. @HHETatI @HHETatI @HHETatI

"Doctor,🥩 I Really Love Red Meat - What's the Deal? Is red meat really bad for me?" This is a question many people have, and it's one that recent research has brought to the forefront. While red meat can be part of a healthy diet, studies have sparked discussions about the potential link between red meat consumption and health risks, particularly type 2 diabetes. Here's what's known so far: • Possible Link, Not Proven Cause: Research suggests that eating large amounts of red meat might be associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes. However, it doesn't definitively prove that red meat causes the condition. • Other Factors at Play: Overall diet, lifestyle choices, and genetics likely play a significant role in developing type 2 diabetes. • Not Just Red Meat: Processed meats, like sausages and bacon, are also linked to potential health concerns. What Can You Do? • Moderation is Key: While you don't need to completely eliminate red meat, limiting your intake is generally recommended as part of a healthy diet. • Variety is the Spice of Life: Incorporate a diverse range of foods, including plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein sources. 🍎🥕🌾🍗 • Stay Informed: Continue to stay informed about ongoing research and consult with your doctor for personalized advice. Remember: The key is to make informed choices about your diet and prioritize overall health and well-being. 💚 You are not alone!💪 Share this with your loved ones. @HHETatI @HHETatI
