Anambra Doctors, Zimbabwean doctors


A medical consultant, Dr. Aigbokhaode Adesuwa has expressed worry over delay by parents in taking their children to healthcare providers at the appropriate time.

He attributed certain avoidable deaths to delays by caregivers who often resort to self-help and traditional ways of treating ailments.

Speaking Friday at Atani, Ogbaru local government area of Anambra state at a 2-day training of Nurses and Community Health Extension workers, Adesuwa canvassed for community leaders’ partnership in health policies implementation.

He explained that effective partnership with relevant stakeholders were essential in promoting quality healthcare delivery in communities.

Adesuwa, from the department of Public health, Federal Medical Centre, Asaba, Delta state, however regretted the adverse effects of harmful health practices on the health of individuals in the community.

He said, “Community health extension workers need to collaborate with the relevant stakeholders, especially government, community, religious and political leaders in enforcing policies geared towards promoting the health of the rural dwellers.

“Such collaboration will enhance the implementation of the laws guiding the harmful practices.”

The workshop, themed, “Improving the quality of health services in our community”, was facilitated by Nolia Consult limited and sponsored by the lawmaker representing Ogbaru Federal constituency, Hon. Chukwuka Chu-Chu Onyema.

The Commissioner for Health, Dr. Joe Akabuike, had appreciated the lawmaker’s gesture in partnering the state government towards providing healthcare to the people.

On his part, the lawmaker, Hon Chu-Chu Onyema said he ventured into sponsoring the programme because of his love to his constituents, especially on their health needs.

Onyema, represented by Vice Chairman, PDP Ogbaru and Director- General, Ije-Awele Campaign Organisation, Mr Vincent Eneh, said the gesture was to reciprocate his constituents for reelecting him.

“The sponsorship of this programme is one of many that Chu-Chu Onyema has been doing for the people of this constituency,” he said.

Onyema said he would soon announce a date for free medicare, including surgeries to all constituents.

According to InfoMigrants, Nigerian women are at growing risk from traffickers in Germany who exploit and engage them in prostitution. Read the full report below by InfoMigrants. The new prostitute protection law in Germany was meant to identify victims of human trafficking – most of them migrant women. More than 18 months after the law came into effect, thousands continue to be targeted for exploitation, and the risk for Nigerian women seems to be increasing. There are campervans parked by the roadside. Some have hearts painted on them, one says “girls, girls” in red letters. It’s an easy matter for someone to stop for a quick transaction in one of these Love-Mobiles – sex with one of the “girls” in exchange for the going rate. Prostitution is mainly legal in Germany, as are these mobile brothels. But many of the women in the business – including those working from the Love-Mobiles – are victims of illegal human trafficking. Most of the women are from Eastern Europe or Nige...

FULL TEXT: A sacrifice for our new political order – Ezekwesili

“When the ACPN leadership approached me in a series of visits to appeal that I run for office on their platform, the party appeared to be a good fit. It was founded by some disgruntled PDP members some years ago, but when its prime founder decided to return to the PDP, a core of its membership refused to move back with him. I was told that they stayed back because of their opposition to the ways of the PDP. Considering my vocal disapproval of the PDP and the APC, I admired the ACPN’s decision to stand firm and refusal to be co-opted.” It has been an interesting one week since I made the tough but necessary decision to suspend my campaign for the presidency. I have been truly overwhelmed by the reactions to my announcement from Nigerians. Even in airports outside the country as I travelled last week, Nigerians walked up to me with questions, concerns, encouragement, and motivation. I also saw disappointment by some who had poured their hearts and hopes into actualising our mission ...
