Ministry of Health has urged the public to take proactive measures to safeguard their health and prevent the spread of diseases commonly associated with this period.


Dr Jane Ruth Aceng, the Minister for Health, emphasizes the importance of practicing both personal hygiene and home hygiene during these rainy months.
