🇿🇲 HAPPY AFRICAN FREEDOM DAY 🇿🇲

Today, we celebrate African Freedom Day. A public holiday in Zambia that reminds us of the courage, unity, resilience, and sacrifices made by African leaders and citizens in the fight for independence, dignity, and self-determination.

For nurses and all health professionals, this day is also a reminder that true freedom includes access to quality healthcare, health education, equity, and healthy communities. As public health advocates, we remain committed to promoting wellness, preventing disease, empowering communities, and ensuring that no one is left behind.

African Freedom Day calls us to continue building stronger health systems, supporting vulnerable populations, and working together for a healthier and more united Africa.

Happy African Freedom Day to all healthcare workers, community leaders, and citizens across Zambia and the continent.

“Healthier Communities, Stronger Africa.”

Gonorrhoea and syphilis hit record levels in Europe

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) including gonorrhoea and syphilis have hit record levels in Europe, according to new data.

The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) said both diseases had reached their highest levels in over 10 years in 2024.

Gonorrhoea hit 106,331 cases - a 303% increase since 2015 - while syphilis more than doubled in the same period to 45,557.

The health agency said "widening gaps in testing and prevention" were partly behind the surge in transmission, and called for urgent action.

"These infections can cause severe complications, such as chronic pain and infertility and, in the case of syphilis, problems with the heart or nervous system," said Bruno Ciancio, the head of the agency's Directly Transmitted and Vaccine-Preventable Diseases unit.

He said congenital syphilis cases - "where infections pass directly to newborns, leading to potentially lifelong complications" - had nearly doubled from 2023 to 2024.
