At the biennial conference, medical women support the daravit woman supplement

The 24th National President of the Medical Women’s Association of Nigeria (MWAN), Prof. Rosemary OGU, approved the Daravit woman, a nutritional supplement designed to support women’s health and well -being.

Prof. Ogu approved Tuesday during the 24th Biennial Conference of Mwan held in Kaduna, with the theme, “Global Health, Ethics and Transformative Leadership in a changing world”.

The conference brought together women from all over the country to discuss urgent health challenges that face Nigerian women, including maternal mortality, malnutrition and migration of medical professionals.

According to her, Nigerian women continue to suffer in a disproportionate way by nutritional deficiencies that contribute to complications of pregnancy, anemia and poor maternal results.

He noticed that supplements such as Daravit Woman could play a role in filling these gaps.

Previously in its observations, the speaker of the Chamber of Representatives, the Hon. Tajudeen Abbas, urged women to support solutions to the worsening of the maternal mortality crisis of Nigeria and the mass migration of medical professionals.

The speaker who was represented by the general manager, National Water Resources Institute, Abduljalal Danbaba, complained that, despite the population of Nigeria of over 218 million, the country had only about 74,000 doctors registered in 2022, a ratio between a doctor and 10,000 patients, very below the standard of the world organization of a doctor at 600 patients.

“Starting from 2023, the United Kingdom only had over 12,000 Nigerian doctors. Even the United States, Canada and Germany are driving destinations. This brain escape is having a profound effect on our health indexes,” he said.

Abbas described the increase in the maternal mortality rate as “deeply disturbing”, underlining that women, who constituted a marginal majority of the population, brought the heaviest burden.

In addition, the special consultant of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on public health, dr. Salma Anas, said that the Nigeria health sector is undergoing significant reforms pursuant to the agenda of renewable health of the administration, which tries to transform health delivery and reposition the country for better results.

He observed that the agenda is already guiding reforms such as the national initiative for the reform of the health sector and the adoption of an approach to the sector level to ensure that resources are maximized for a greater impact.

He underlined the link between health, ethics, security and leadership, warning that without transformative leadership, Nigeria cannot reach a universal health cover.
