HealthNGO Sensitises Students On Sexual, Gender-based Violence by Gallabey(op): 5:13pm On Nov 07, 2022
Women’s Right and Health Project (WRAHP), a Non-Government Organisation (NGO),
on Monday, sensitised students of Igbo-Owu Junior Secondary schools on Social and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV).

The sensitisation took place in the school premises on the assembly ground.

Mrs Bose Ironsi, the Executive Director, WRAHP, said the Project built the capacities of 20 Civil Society Organisations (CSO)
in Oshodi Isolo and Ojo local government areas.

Ironsi said that the essence was for the CSOs to effectively respond to incidences of SGBV in communities on the project
titled “Building Capacity of CSOs to Promote Uptake of Justice-Related Social Services.”

She added that the project was funded by European Union and implemented by the British Council.

She said “SGBV remains a challenge among young persons in Nigeria; UNICEF reports that six out of 10 children
in Nigerian have experienced one form of abuse or the other.

“As part of efforts to address this challenge, there is an ongoing sensitisation being carried out to reach students
in 20 Junior and Senior Secondary schools in Oshodi Isolo Local Government Area.

“This initiative involves brief talks during school assembly session on Lagos State Protection Against Domestic
Violence; the students are given copies of the simplified edition of the law, Infographic on domestic violence
and process map.”

The director added that the programme had been impactful, as over 16,000 students in 17 schools were reached between
Sept. 26 and Nov. 7.

She said the activity was implemented by WRAHP in partnership with Renaissance Foundation for Peacebuilders.

She, therefore, implored the media to join the fight in breaking the culture of silence, and to focus on reportage of SGBV cases
so as to educate both the perpetrators and the survivors.

Mrs Yeside Olatobi, the Principal, Igbo-Owu Junior Secondary School, Lagos State, said that the programme was a positive
move that would educate students about things happening around them.

She said that with what the NGO told the students, they would be bold enough to report to the school counsellor or an adult whenever they abused.

A student, Ms Roqeebat Alli, said WRAHP had made her to know the different types of SGBV, and learnt the two types of secrets, which are the
bad secret and good secret, as well as appropriate and inappropriate touch.

She said that with the knowledge she gained, she can now walk up to the school counsellor, an adult or her parent to speak up whenever abused.

HealthExperts Pave Way For Safer Surgery To Address Global Elective Waiting Lists- Stu by Gallabey(op): 11:43am On Nov 01, 2022
Experts pave way for safer surgery to address global elective waiting lists- Study

Surgical care experts have today unveiled two studies in The Lancet that would helped to provide safer surgery for thousands of patients around the world – particularly in Low- and Middle-income Countries (LMIC).



Researchers found that routinely changing gloves and instruments just before closing wounds could significantly reduce Surgical Site Infection (SSI) – the world’s most common post-operative complication.



Secondly, they tested a new toolkit that could make hospitals better prepared for pandemics, heatwaves, winter pressures and natural disasters that could reduce cancellations of planned procedures around the world.


Patients in LMICs are disproportionately affected by wound infections.



But following a trial of the procedure in Benin, Ghana, India, Mexico, Nigeria, Rwanda and South Africa, researchers found that a routine switch of gloves and instruments during abdominal wound closures could prevent as many as one in eight cases of SSI.



The ChEETAh trial was funded by the UK’s National Institute for Health Research (NIHR). Publishing their findings today in The Lancet, researchers are calling for the practice to be widely implemented – particularly in LMICs.



Co-author Mr Aneel Bhangu, from the University of Birmingham, commented: “Surgical site infection is the world’s most common postoperative complication – a major burden for both patients and health systems.



“Our work demonstrates that routine change of gloves and instruments is not only deliverable around the world, but also reduced infections in a range of surgical settings.





“Taking this simple step could reduce SSIs by 13 per cent – simply and cost-effectively” he said.





Patients who develop SSI experience pain, disability, poor healing with risk of wound breakdown, prolonged recovery times and psychological challenges.





In health systems where patients have to pay for treatment this could be a disaster and increases the risk of patients being plunged into poverty after their treatment.





The simple and low-cost practice of changing your gloves and instruments just before closing the wound is something which can be done by surgeons in any hospital around, meaning a huge potential impact.





According to the co-author and national lead in Nigeria, Professor Adesoji Ademuyiwa, from the College of Medicine, University of Lagos, the result of this study would positively impact change in the practice among surgeons across the world especially in the LMICs.





Co-author and national coordinator of ChEETAh study, Dr Rufus Ojewola, College of Medicine, University of Lagos and also a consultant urologist with the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, made this known in a statement that the study has shown the cost effectiveness and positive outcome with simple and practicable steps among surgeons worldwide.





Experts from the NIHR Global Research Health Unit on Global Surgery also unveiled their ‘Surgical Preparedness Index’ (SPI) today in The Lancet – a key study assessing the extent to which hospitals around the world were able to continue elective surgery during COVID-19.





Researchers identified different features of hospitals that made them more or less ‘prepared’ for times of increased pressure.



They used COVID-19 as an important example, but highlighted that health systems are put under stress for all sorts of reasons each year – from seasonal pressures, to natural disasters, and warfare.





A team of clinicians from 32 countries designed the SPI which scores hospitals based on their infrastructure, equipment, staff, and processes used to provide elective surgery.





The higher the resulting SPI score, the more prepared a hospital is for disruptions.





After creating the SPI tool, the experts asked 4,714 clinicians in 1,632 hospitals across 119 countries to assess the preparedness of their local surgical department.





Overall most hospitals around the world were poorly prepared, and suffered a big drop in the number of procedures they were able to provide during COVID-19.





The team found that a 10-point increase in the SPI score corresponded to four more patients that had surgery per 100 patients on the waitlist.





Lead author Mr. James Glasbey, from the University of Birmingham, commented: “Our new tool will help hospitals internationally improve their preparation for external stresses ranging from pandemics, to heatwaves, winter pressures and natural disasters.





“We believe it help hospitals to get through their waiting lists more quickly, and prevent further delays for patients.



“The tool can be completed easily by healthcare workers and managers working in any hospital worldwide – if used regularly, it could protect hospitals and patients against future disruptions” he said.





According to Professor Wale Adisa of the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife who is the Deputy National Lead NIHR Lagos Hub commented: “I was a part of the initial process of prioritising indicators of preparedness in elective surgical systems where a list of about 23 were generated from a very long list of suggestions.





“I was again one of those selected to provide elective surgical volume relative to the previous baseline records.



“I later reviewed the relevance of the selected indicators across some external shocks culminating in the final list of SPIs.



“It’s an absolutely interesting journey and I am delighted the paper has been published.





Professor Dion Morton, Barling Chair of Surgery at the University of Birmingham and Director of Clinical Research at the Royal College of Surgeons of England commented: “Although not all postoperative deaths are avoidable, many can be prevented by increasing investment in research, staff training, equipment, and better hospital facilities.



“We must invest in improving the quality of surgery around the world.” he said.

Seven year old child wins Estate Youth Parliament marathon 2022

Miss Hassanat Hassan, seven year old has won the Estate Youth Parliament (EYP) marathon race 2022 edition.

This was disclosed in a statement made available to newsmen in Lagos on Monday EYP media chairman, Mr Olamiju Oretola.

Oretola said that Hassan records a first time history of a juvenile emerging winner.

He said that Hassan, 7 years emerged winner while Sofiyyat Muhideen, 14 years and Mariam Adenekan 16 years emerged second and third respectively.

He said that Hassan commended the programme as a kid participant and encourage the organisers to put in more effort in widening the horizon of the competition to give access to more talented racers come next year.

Oretola said that Rufus Akinniyi shown great resilience again at the EYP marathon when he successfully defended his five laps title for the second consecutive season.

He said that Akinniyi took down Oluwaseyi Abiola, one time winning record of 44.54s going on to set a new winning record of 44.10s.

He said that Seyi, an internationally based racer was in 2020 the first ever winner of the EYP Marathon challenge after it commenced.

"EYP’s Lasisi Emmanuel started very well in the race and he did well to hang on to the 3rd spot before overtaking Seyi Abiola’s 2nd leading racer position at the last lap.

"The event lived up to its objective of unearthing talents.

"Abiola told newsmen that his emergence in 2020 bore to the fact that he still had a lot of hardcore training in him as he had just returned to the country then.

"He noted that although his second position was overtaken, his resilience towards success can never be defeated as his present state determines his success rate which stimulates him to practice harder ahead of more racing competitions.

"However, the racing outcome has become a spectacular season for Akinniyi, scooping a plethora of trophies at the event as he records the best 5 laps hurdler in this season" Oretola said.


Oretola said that EYP marathon was to identify talents amongst youths who have interest in running.

He said that going by the turnout of juveniles for this edition, and the emergence of the seven year-old as champion of that category progress was being made with the marathon.

He said that EYP however hoped to improve on the lapses it had noticed and would do all that was necessary to have a better organised event next year.

HealthExpert Says Prostate Cancer Treatment, Management Is Whole Family Decision by Gallabey(op): 7:07am On Sep 15, 2022
Expert says prostate cancer treatment, management is whole family decision



Prof Ajibola Jeje, Consultant Urological Surgeon, Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) has said that prostrate cancer treatment and management was usually, the whole family decision.



Jeje disclosed this at the SUNU Health Maintenance Organisation quarterly webinar themed “Prostrate Diseases (A Family Burden)” in Lagos on Wednesday.



He said that the prostate was an internal male reproductive organ located at the base of the bladder and shaped like a compressed inverted cone.



He said that it functions was to store and secret a clear and slightly alkaline fluid that constitute 10 to 30 per cent of seminal fluid and was responsible for the male sex characteristics.



He said that Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) was defined as a benign (non cancerous) enlargement of the prostrate gland and was not a life threatening condition.



Jeje said that common benign tumour in men who have tested and lived long enough with ageing, family history, western life style among others as risk factors.



He said that its prevalence was 25 per cent in 40 to 60 year old men, 50 per cent in 50 to 60 year old men, 65 per cent in 60 to 70 year old men, 80 per cent in 70 to 80 year old men and 90 per cent in 80 to 90 year old men.



He said that prostate cancer was now the second most common cause of cancer death in men and as the population of the world progressively ages, so the burden of BPH and prostate cancer would inevitably rise



The Urologists said that one in 30 men would die from it, 20,000 annually in Nigeria and its often detected at an advanced stage.



He said that questions for detecting Prostatic diseases are do you get up at night to pass urine, is your urine flow slow and are you bothered by your bladder function?



He said differential diagnosis includes BPH, bladder stone, urethral stricture and Neurogenic bladder.



He said treatment strategies which usually was the decision of the whole family includes watchful waiting, combination therapy, surgery among others.



Jeje said that pre medical treatment was lifestyle modification, reduction of fluid intake at specific times and fibre intake to reduce constipation.



He said that over the past 20 years, overall survival rates for all stages of prostate cancer had increased from 67 per cent to 89 per cent.
