Preventive Health Tips

As a healthcare provider, MClinic Kenya is deeply concerned about the recent outbreak of MPOX (Mysterious Pathogen Outbreak) that has been spreading rapidly across the country. While the exact cause of the outbreak is still unknown, it is crucial for everyone to take preventive measures to protect themselves and their loved ones.

Here are some important health tips to help you stay safe during this challenging time.

Maintain Good Hygiene Practices

One of the most effective ways to prevent the spread of MPOX is by practicing good hygiene habits. Make sure to wash your hands frequently with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after being in public places or touching surfaces that may be contaminated. Avoid touching your face, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands to reduce the risk of infection.

Stay Informed and Follow the Guidelines

Stay informed about the latest updates on the MPOX outbreak from reliable sources such as the Ministry of Health and the World Health Organization. Follow their guidelines and recommendations on how to protect yourself and others from the virus. It is important to stay vigilant and take proactive measures to prevent the spread of MPOX in your community.

Practice Social Distancing

To reduce the risk of exposure to MPOX, it is important to practice social distancing by avoiding large gatherings and maintaining a safe distance from others in public spaces. If possible, work from home and limit non-essential travel to minimize the spread of the virus. By taking these precautions, you can help protect yourself and others from getting sick.

Boost Your Immune System

A strong immune system plays a crucial role in fighting off infections and illnesses, including MPOX. Make sure to eat a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains to boost your immune system. Stay hydrated, get plenty of rest, and exercise regularly to keep your body healthy and resilient against pathogens. Consider taking vitamin supplements or herbal remedies to support your immune system during this challenging time.

” We continue to monitor the one confirmed case, who traveled from Kampala in Uganda to Mombasa, then to Rwanda through Taita Taveta and Tanzania. The case, a long-distance truck driver, is now back in Kenya,” the ministry said.  “We are tracing all close contacts at his workplace, the hospital where he was admitted, and along his travel routes.“
