KidsHealth has published a new page on meningitis in tamariki and rangatahi, providing clear, trusted information for whānau across Aotearoa.
The page covers the difference between viral and bacterial meningitis, what symptoms to look out for in babies and older children, when to seek urgent help, and how vaccination can help prevent some forms of the disease.
The page features original in-house illustrations by Dr Greta File, making complex anatomy accessible for families and health professionals alike.
