Nigeria-Born Medic, Njideka Udochi, Receives COVID-19 Community Engagement and Response Award in the US

Nigeria-born medical doctor, Njideka Udochi, who is also younger sister to the Director General of WTO, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, has bagged an award for COVID-19 Community Engagement and Response in Howard County, Maryland, USA. This award comes shortly after she was recognized as Maryland’s Family Physician of the Year in the United States by the Maryland Academy of Family Physicians.

The award is worth $65,000 and according to Dr. Njideka Udochi, it “could not have come at a better time” than this.

On her Facebook page,  the Nigerian Doctor posted on the acceptance of the award thus:: “The COVID-19 pandemic has heavily impacted families, especially families of color, leading to economic instability, loss of jobs for many parents, isolation for kids and increase in mental health symptoms. Vaccinating our kids is a great strategy to help them return safely to school, increase socialization and mental health issues.

“This week, physicians from the Millennium Health Group and the Central Maryland Vaccine Equity Initiative were involved in educating parents and children at Woodlawn High School in Baltimore, Maryland on the importance of vaccinations.”

Dr. Njideka Udochi plans to use the $65,000 award to help increase access and engagement of children and families of BIPOC to vaccinations across the country. This decision comes in the wake of the CDC’s approval of the Pfizer BioNTech vaccine for children aged 12-15 years.
