Kenya's KBC argues that prevention is the country's strongest defence against disease, noting that dengue, malaria, cholera, tuberculosis, hypertension and diabetes can all be mitigated through prevention, early detection and timely action. According to the broadcaster, these illnesses do not begin at the hospital door, so the public health response should not either, with the greatest gains achieved long before patients seek treatment.

Research indicates that a smartphone-based Artificial Intelligence application can detect eye cancers from photographs with near-specialist accuracy. The app not only identifies previously undiagnosed cases but also facilitates referrals to expert care, enhancing the efficiency of diagnosis and treatment.

Tanzania's Deputy Minister for Health, Dr Florence Samizi, has called on women across the country to undergo regular health check-ups, including screening for cervical and breast cancer at least once a year, to enable early detection and timely treatment. She made the appeal in Dar es Salaam while launching the logo of the Mariam Mungula Foundation, according to Daily News.

Signs of sleep apnoea include symptoms such as snoring, heartburn, morning headaches, and fatigue. This common condition can significantly impact health, and recognizing these signs is crucial for seeking appropriate treatment.

A study highlights that taking five-minute walks every hour can enhance health and productivity. Health experts caution that prolonged sitting, whether at desks, during meetings, while commuting, or using screens, raises the risk of various health issues, including weight gain, high blood pressure, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and stroke.

A new study suggests that yellow patches around the eyes, known as xanthelasma, could serve as a warning sign of heart disease. Researchers investigated whether the condition is linked to major cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events, including heart attacks, strokes, and transient ischemic attacks, commonly called mini-strokes. The findings indicate that these skin deposits, often dismissed as a cosmetic issue, may signal underlying cardiovascular risk that warrants medical attention.
