Thank you to all the families that shared these painful accounts of how they lost their loved ones to raise awareness. Meningitis is not a disease of the past and can lead to permanent disability or death within hours of the first symptoms appearing. Seeking urgent medical care,

Meningitis is a major public health threat that claimed over 200,000 lives globally in 2019 alone, with the majority of cases occurring in Sub-Saharan Africa. This devastating disease demands urgent action at both regional and national levels.
