Dr.Hersi:
Thanks Dear Dr. Mahdi, for this information, me also I heard some somalian people in kenya affected this disease, particularly in Somalia regions, so how can we prevent it to transmit to Somalia? I hope all health professionals to participate their ideas for discussion.
Admin:
Dr.Hersi, thanks for your comment.
We can't tell if the disease already crossed the border but what we are capable of is to educate our readers about the symptoms & signs of the disease. (Our prevention is health education).
Because we don't have the swine flu prevention measures & even we can't control the outbreak if happens.
