  4. Highlights - 18 May - World AIDS Vaccine Awareness Day - Committee on Public Health

    18 May HIV vaccine awareness day
    Observed on May 18, this day highlights global efforts to develop an HIV vaccine and recognises the work of researchers, healthcare workers, and communities. Despite decades of research, the virus remains difficult to target because it mutates rapidly.

    Around 40 million people worldwide are living with HIV, and there are over a million new infections every year.

    Although treatments enable those affected to lead long and healthy lives, a safe and effective vaccine would represent a major step towards eradicating the HIV epidemic.

  5. Highlights - 17 May - World Hypertension Day - Committee on Public Health

    17 May World hypertension day
    World Hypertension Day is observed on 17 May to raise awareness of high blood pressure, often called the “silent killer” because it has no symptoms but greatly increases the risk of stroke, heart disease, kidney failure, and premature death.

    Hypertension affects about 1.3-1.4 billion people worldwide, yet only around 1 in 5 have it under control, and many remain undiagnosed.

    The day highlights the importance of regular blood pressure checks, healthy lifestyles, early detection, and consistent treatment, as most complications are preventable.
