" "The underrepresented suffers mostly in the hands of public health issue. Through my core values of justice, equity and empathy, I desire to achieve equitable access to public health facilities for the underrepresented through policy-making and review. Millennium Fellowship will sharpen my skills and provide the grounds to achieve my goals of being part of making one of the SDGs possible. " "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Project SAFE
Project SAFE is a public health project idea that stemmed from the need to curtail the spread of blood-borne diseases in my community. Overtime, there has been an incessant rise in the number of youths affected with blood borne diseases especially HIV/AIDS and the HEPATITIS-B virus in the hospital where I school. This has lead to the untimely death of youths who would have stood a better chance if they had proper enlightenment and awareness on the ways to prevent and properly safeguard themselves from the deleterious effects of these diseases. For this reason, colleagues and I decided to organise a health education program targeting the younger age group (10-18years) that are particularly vulnerable to acquiring these blood-borne diseases due to youthful exuberance. The aim of this project is to reduce the preventable deaths caused by blood-borne diseases through the awareness program.
