“It started with just a headache.”

I once met a man who always carried paink!llers in his pocket. Every time he had a headache or body ache, he would pop a pîll and move on with his day.

What he didn’t know was that his bloòd pressure was dàngerously high. The paink!llers gave him relief for a few hours but they were only covering up the real problem.

One day, he collapsed. By the time he reached the hospital, it was almost too late.

This is why high bloòd pressure is called the silent k!ller. You don’t always feel it, but inside, it’s damaging your heart, your kidneys, your brain.

👉 Don’t wait until it’s an emergency. Take 2 minutes to check your BP. Encourage your family. That small step could save a life.

❤️ Your health is too precious to gamble with

STOP! Don’t remove the helmet!

Ati "Chichoseni timuone"

If a biker is in an accîdent:
✅ Keep the helmet on

✅ Don’t pull them roughly

✅ Call for help

Your help can unintentionally “silizisa” them.

DO NOT FORCIBLY REMOVE THE HELMET ati

"Chichoseni timuone "

ROAD TRAFFIC ACCIDENT INFORMATION ALERT

If someone is involved in a Road Traffic Crash and it's looks "pretty bad", there is a way in which the first responders, usually us the onlookers should handle the victims.

Do not handle them "roughly " by ways of pulling them out of a vehicle or off the road by pulling their head or shoulders or neck.

Handling the victims in such a manner may cause permanent damage that the accident did not even cause.

For example, if a biker is involved in an accident and still has their helmet on, do not remove that helmet off them.

They could have neck or spinal injuries and your trying to pull off the helmet might make the situation worse.

Medical personnel are the only ones allowed to remove the helmet or generally handle road traffic accident victims.

Your trying to help a victim can "silizisa " them.

Kupaya munthu so. Mwapaya, mwasilizisa.
