I know some of you forgot and then some of remembered but deliberately didn't want to just celebrate us or remembered and for one reason or other just felt it wasn't necessary.
For those who consult me virtually and I respond and you didn't care to celebrate us today, let me catch you in my inbox again. Please do me this favour, come close to me seeking medical health and see, just try me .

The Rural Doctor Initiative(RDI) in conjunction with the Kateri medical services, in a bid to improve the health statistics in the community it is hosted in, rolled out a program to join forces with the global community to end the spread of TB and achieve the SDG targets.
A two-day awareness and sensitization seminar was organized for two secondary schools located in the rural areas of Southern kaduna. Senior students of these secondary schools who reside in far off villages were targeted. The event was well attended and largely interactive. RDI was amazed at the level of intelligence exhibited by both schools. Smart questions were asked and brilliant answers elicited.
We took the message down to the students in some rural community in kaduna, in two different secondary schools. We are proud to say they now know the basics of Tuberculosis.
Over 10m people fell ill with tuberculosis world wide, 1.4m died of TB and 465,000 were diagnosed with drug resistant TB in 2019 only, a public health crisis!
Walking back from a brief check on patients on admission in the facility.
Rural lifestyle. Showing the new building in progress. Over 10m people fell ill with tuberculosis world wide, 1.4m died of TB and 465,000 were diagnosed with drug resistant TB in 2019 only, a public health crisis!
Mrs M. S presented to our little facility with complaints of some growth around her vulva and vagina walls of 4 months duration. She says they have grown too fast that she palpates new growths almost everyday.
We examined her and discovered some multiple islands of warty lesions around her vulva and majoras. She was brought by her mother because she had a protruded abdomen, thin but swollen legs. Her hair was fluffy and mother wondered why she wasn't thriving at 2years.
Try hard as we may, we may not be able to save everyone in the rural area. No matter how well intentioned we are, some cases must be referred.
She looked worn out, tired and walked with a stick. From a distance my surmise was that of an old groggy lady. She was guided straight to the emergency room where I followed closely. I realized she was only 25. She looked over 60. |
