As we continue our spring allergy spotlight, this week we’re focusing on nose symptoms. 🌼

Sneezing and a runny, itchy or blocked nose are common during allergy season, but these symptoms can have several possible causes. Recurrent or persistent symptoms — particularly when associated with triggers such as pollen, household pets, dust mites or mould — may suggest allergic rhinitis.

👩🏽‍⚕️ For clinicians:
Find practical, evidence-based guidance on assessing and managing nose symptoms on page 40 of the PACK Adult guide.

What an incredible few days at WCPH 2026! 🌍✨

We were proud to see colleagues and collaborators representing our work at the 18th World Congress on Public Health in Cape Town — presenting, sharing ideas, learning from others and connecting with public health professionals from across South Africa and around the world.

From presentations and posters to thoughtful conversations and new connections, the congress offered a valuable opportunity to exchange knowledge and engage with the wider public health community.

Here’s a look back at some of the people who represented our work at WCPH 2026. 💛

The PACK Child guide provides practical, evidence-based guidance to support healthcare workers in assessing and managing asthma in children. Find the asthma guidance on page 119.
