WAAPH trains young Nigerian Advocates on Health Literacy

ByNews Editor

Dec 13, 2018 ,

As part of the activities to commemorate World Universal Health Coverage (UHC) Day 2018 yesterday, 12th December, West African Academy of Public Health (WAAPH), Innovations and Access for Development Initiative (Inovate2100) in collaboration with Health Sector Reform Coalition (HSRC) and other key stakeholders has held a one-day Health Literacy Leadership course (HLLC) for young leaders on universal health coverage in Abuja.

WAAPH facilitator and the participants at the training 

The training programme which aimed at building the capacity and understanding of young Advocates, leaders and journalists  around the pillars of UHC and how to strengthen health literacy, so as to become critical influencers, social commentators and advocates for strong public health programmes towards health for all in Nigeria and ultimately the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3 had more than 60 participants selected across the six geopolitical zones in Nigeria in attendance.

Speaking on Policy advocacy on Health at the training, Edwin Ikhuoria, a Development Advocacy Expert and one of the facilitators at the training, said health is a critical sector to socioeconomic development of any nation and if Nigeria as a country which is already tagged poverty capital of the world would be free from poverty, efficient Healthcare service delivery must be amongst her top priorities by the policy and decision makers.

“Currently Nigeria still remains poverty capital of the world as 87millions out of 180millions of its citizens still live in abject poverty – living below one dollar per day” he said.

Edwin added that without efficient and effective Universal Health Coverage plan and structure in Nigeria it would be difficult to eradicate poverty amongst the people, as sicknesses, epidemic and diseases would cause them to expend all their life savings and salaries on medication and treatment. 

“It is always easy to fall back into poverty when you are ill because all your life savings would be expended treating yourself or your family members hence the need for effective UHC for all citizens so as to avert epidemic, untimely death and poverty in the country” he remarked. 

Henry Okwonu, another facilitator encouraged the participants to learn to explore collaborative opportunities and teamwork so as to achieve tremendous impact in their campaign as well as other results based advocacy on health issues. 

“As young advocates collaboration is key for any result based projects, advocacy or programme that you may embark upon after this training” he said. 

All participants were also presented with a Certificate of Participation at the end of the training.

  117. With one of the largest hacks in crypto recently involving a cross-chain bridge, our team at deBridge have decided to share some strategies and actions we’re looking into to mitigate security risks… Welcome to the fifth edition of Weekly Whale Watch, an NFT Plazas column in which we dive into the most expensive NFT transactions in the past week. This week, we had another high-dollar metaverse land sale and several unique pieces from SuperRare. We’ll talk about each NFT, their buyers and creators, and of course, we’ll pay a visit to the newly purchased parcel of land. According to CoinMarketCap, the price of the meme coin has fallen by about 7% over the past week. Experts say that this may be the main reason for the decline in the value of the dollar, since there was no significant sales activity in the market. https://edwinslbq643197.daneblogger.com/13429848/eth-creator Major cryptocurrencies slumped on Friday with bitcoin, ether and dogecoin falling up to 10% amid continued consolidation and low volatility, as bulls and bears continued to fight for domination over the crypto market. Even for the true believers, the obliteration of Terra and Luna was a powerful reminder that investing in most cryptocurrencies is the financial equivalent of Wile E. Coyote running on air—it works great until people decide to look down. And once they do, it’s a really long way to fall. China’s crypto clampdown started in May, when its government confirmed a ban on transactions. In a joint statement published on the People’s Bank of China’s WeChat account, banking and internet industry associations said that financial institutions should not accept cryptocurrencies as payment or offer services related to them.
