    From 14 to 20 August, 109 people with acute respiratory problems were admitted to hospitals. They are mainly affected by bronchitis, asthma or pneumonia.

    And during this period, 5,000 people received care for these same diseases, an increase of 157 cases compared to the previous week.

    Dr. Keser Pillai, a specialist in respiratory diseases, attributes this increase to climatic conditions. "The symptoms of these diseases are an irritating and persistent cough accompanied by yellow or green phlegmas, and sometimes even traces of the blood. A person who has contracted the disease will experience pain when she breathes and coughs, as well as a high fever. The affected person will have to regularly follow the preventive treatments that his doctor will prescribe. She will have to be vaccinated against influenza, pneumonia and influenza, "says Dr. Keser Pillai.

    "Safety and security don't just happen, they are the result of collective consensus and public investment. We owe our children, the most vulnerable citizens in our society, a life free of violence and fear."
    -Nelson Mandela
