Globally, World Meningitis Day is observed on the 24th of April every year to raise awareness about this dreadful but preventable disease. This year’s World Meningitis Day theme is “Life after Meningitis”. This year, the NCDC seeks to increase awareness on the signs, symptoms and the devastating after-effects that it can have the extreme importance of early diagnosis and treatment, and the crucial need to support Meningitis survivors and their families
Meningitis cases have been found to occur through the year in the country with an observed increase during the dry season. The disease is highly contagious and can kill within 24 hours, so recognising the symptoms early and acting fast is crucial. Meningitis can affect anyone; however infants, young children, adolescents and older people are at greatest risk, with major risk factors being overcrowding and poor ventilation.
