Lessons learned

Michael Olugbenga

Background

Nigeria is one of the highest contributor to the global

burden of maternal and infant mortality.

MMR= 814 per 100,000 live births (WHO, 2015)

Under five MR =2,300 on daily basis

This is the major reason for my choice of this particular

pressing and challenging topic.

Healthcare in Nigeria is bedeviled with so many

challenges with the low income earners as the people

with most affected.

Rural areas where farmers dwell are also the most

affected.

Challenges Addressed

Strong cultural factors

High rate of illiteracy

Socio-economic factors

Poor health seeking behaviour

Physical barriers to access of healthcare

services

Poor government policies

Project ApproachCommunity Advocacy

Sensitization

Mass mobilization

Town Hall and Village Square meetings

Community Opinion leaders

Text messages (reached about 350 women both

pregnant and nursing mothers)

House to house visits

Medical Outreaches

Community meetings

Medical Outreach

Any volunteers?

Share in the chat or raise your hand

to speak about updates in your health

improvement work

100 Million Healthier Lives

initiative & partnership with

Surgeon General

High potential for students across

disciplines to have impact

Actions could include: advocacy,

awareness-raising, education,

engagement, etc.

Addressing the

opioid epidemic

Topics we’re exploring35

Disparities across race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and gender exist in infant mortality rates, cardiovascular disease, deaths from certain cancers, and many other conditions

We must address health inequity if we seek to improve health outcomes – and if we are invested in a world where all can “participate, prosper, and reach their full potential” (Policy Link, Equity Manifesto)

An “upstreamist” is a health

professional capable of seeing the

social and environmental factors

that drive health in individuals and

communities

Moving care “upstream” goes to

the source of the larger population

problem

Examples of upstreamist projects

could include addressing housing

insecurity, lack of access to

healthy foods, transportation

needs, etc
