I participated in 2005 Summer Institute on Reproductive Health and Development. After the program, my attitude to work and life changed. Since I came back to Nigeria, I have been able to touch so many people's lives, both physically and mentally. I organize and coordinate programs for health care providers, media correspondents and all medical directors of tertiary institutions in the federation on reducing the country’s high maternal mortality and morbidity so as to achieve Millennium Development Goals 4 and 5 by the year 2015. These efforts have been successful in terms of raising awareness among pregnant women and children on the importance of antenatal care and the use of intermittent preventive treatment to prevent malaria during pregnancy. Presently, I am pursuing my MPH degree in Nigeria. Mrs Ogunmayin Oluseye Idowu Federal Ministry of Health Reproductive Health Division Abuja, Nigeria |
