Sfax hosts awareness day on whooping cough prevention
The event focused on a national project lasting five years to prevent whooping cough in children through increased health awareness, especially during the fall and winter seasons. Preliminary results after three years of the project showed an increase in cases during these seasons due to weather changes, which places additional burden on healthcare facilities and families. The recommendations emphasized the importance of breastfeeding during the first six months, intensifying awareness campaigns about preventive behaviors such as ventilating homes, handwashing, and avoiding kissing or hugging children when symptoms appear, as well as addressing the warning signs of the illness.
