Key points include: 1 in 10 people die from meningitis caused by bacterial, fungal, or viral infections; 1 in 5 meningitis survivors live with life-long disabilities; meningitis is the swelling of the lining around the brain and spinal cord (the meninges); and meningitis affects more than 2.5 million people globally every year. The graphic includes icons representing people and a brain, along with the logo for World Meningitis Day (5th October) and a hashtag #DefeatMeningitis.
ALT An image entitled "Meningitis: Protect, support, defeat." The main part of the image is divided into three colours of yellow, purple and blue. Under a symbol of three people inside a heart, the text reads: protect; tragically, around half of all meningitis deaths are children under five. Under a symbol showing a heart with lines radiating out from it, the text reads: support; sharing experiences deepens our understanding of meningitis and drives progress in prevention, treatment and care. Under a symbol of a trophy with a star on it, the text reads: defeat; know the symptoms of meningitis and be informed about the vaccinations available and the protection they provide. At the bottom, the text reads: Together, we can defeat meningitis and save countless lives.
