90% of all drownings occur in countries with lower-than-average incomes.
Since the beginning of 2023, 672 people have drowned in Ukrainian waters, 76 of whom were children.

This event is dedicated to the memory of Australian Teda Mint, who died of Lyme disease in 2013. The purpose of this day is to spread awareness about this and other little-known diseases, treatment and prevention methods.
Lyme disease is an infectious disease caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi. This bacterium is transmitted to humans through the bite of infected ticks.
It can affect various body systems and cause a range of symptoms. The particular danger of Lyme disease is that not all patients will experience all symptoms, and many symptoms are not specific to Lyme disease but can occur with other diseases. Nor does this disease have an incubation period from infection to the onset of the first symptoms. It can last for a few days or stretch for several years.
Early signs of Lyme disease are fever, chills, headache, fatigue, muscle and joint pain, swollen lymph nodes, and rash.
Later, they may be accompanied by heart palpitations, inflammation of the brain and spinal cord, and problems with short-term memory.
