Use insecticide-treated bed nets every night, eliminate standing water near your home, and seek treatment promptly at the first signs of fever. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial in preventing severe malaria.

Always store medicines in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep medications out of children's reach. Never use expired medicines — check the expiry date before use and dispose safely.

Drink at least 8 glasses of clean water daily, especially in Tanzania's warm climate. Dehydration can worsen chronic conditions including kidney disease and increase the risk of urinary tract infections.

A persistent fever above 38.5°C requires medical attention. While paracetamol can help reduce fever, always investigate the underlying cause — especially if fever lasts more than 48 hours.

Never use antibiotics without a prescription. Complete the full prescribed course even if you feel better early. Antibiotic resistance is a growing public health threat in Tanzania.

Hypertension is often called the 'silent killer' because it has no symptoms. Get your blood pressure checked regularly and, if prescribed antihypertensives, take them consistently every day.
