Does stress at work negatively affect women’s health
Work stress is more than a tough day—it’s ongoing mental and physical strain from workplace pressures like heavy workloads, long hours, and unfair treatment. For women, it is often intensified by balancing work and family responsibilities, along with challenges like bias and limited support, leading to burnout and reduced well-being over time.
The silent scourge called Lassa Fever
Lassa fever is a rodent-borne viral disease common in West Africa, spread mainly through contact with contaminated food, surfaces, or body fluids. While many cases are mild, severe infections can be life-threatening—especially for pregnant women—and long-term effects like deafness are common. With no widely available vaccine, prevention relies on early diagnosis, proper hygiene, rodent control, and stronger healthcare systems.
