This week, the Wellbeing Foundation Africa team is proud to welcome our Founder, global advocate HE Mrs. Toyin Ojora Saraki, Laura Nels, Director JNJ Community Health Africa, and Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine (LSTM) Global Programme Director, Dr. Charles Ameh to Abuja and Lagos, engaging with the Federal Ministry of Health, Medicaid Cancer Foundation, Real Visionaries Initiative, Johnson & Johnson Global Health and nationwide Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn, Child, and Adolescent Health (RMNCAH), Midwifery and Nursing Stakeholders at The Co-Creation Workshop: Understanding The Challenges and Gaps in Oncology Nursing, Mental Health Nursing and Midwifery Education In Nigeria.
Building health workers’ capacity to provide specialised oncology services, midwifery, and mental health care is essential to providing life-saving care to patients in healthcare facilities across the country.
Since 2015, the Wellbeing Foundation Africa has partnered with the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine and Johnson & Johnson Global Health to Improve The Availability And Quality Of Maternal And Newborn Care in Nigeria, pioneering and implementing the innovative 5-Year Emergency Obstetric & Newborn Care (EmONC) Project in Kwara State. This lifesaving skills-building for health workers strengthens their capacity to provide skilled care to mothers and babies, thereby engendering safer births.
The Wellbeing Foundation Africa’s commitment to SDG 3 works to ensure that healthcare workers, especially nurses and midwives, are equipped with the skills necessary to care for mothers and babies throughout the continuum of care.
The Wellbeing Foundation Africa is supporting and participating in the Co-Creation Workshops: Understanding the Challenges and Gaps in Oncology Nursing, Mental Health Nursing and Midwifery Education in Nigeria as Advocacy & Communication Partner to the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine and Johnson & Johnson Global Health.
