" The Millennium Fellowship is famous and for good reason — the fantastic opportunity to collaborate with others around the world and learn invaluable skills to bring ideas to life.
I am excited to be a part of the 2022 Class and contribute to the pursuit of better health outcomes for Nigerians, particularly in rural areas with reduced access to health information. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Project Better Life
Project Better Life is a project that aims to understand the perception of individuals about the healthcare system and how these perceptions affect their health seeking behaviours. In tertiary hospitals across Nigeria, it is commonplace to see people present when their disease conditions are advanced. And when it comes to conditions like cancer, such late presentations are sadly a death sentence which could have been prevented.
Project Better Life wants to get to the root to these problems and create ways to engage selected communities on the importance of seeking healthcare rapidly and not waiting for conditions to deteriorate. Furthermore, our campaign is targeted at encouraging people to adopt healthy lifestyle choices that are preventive for cancers whose prevalence is increasing in Nigeria while also connecting them to screening and detection centers.
About the Millennium Fellow
Joshua John Inioluwa is a medical student at the University of Ibadan, Nigeria. As a medical student, volunteer, researcher, writer and student leader, he is interested in finding answers to healthcare-related problems that plague the African continent in general and Nigeria in particular. His current interest lies in reducing poor health-seeking behaviours, particularly among rural dwellers, which lead to debilitating health outcomes.
John aspires to do more and is working to develop an arsenal of skills that would allow him contribute meaningfully to reform in these areas on a national and global scale.
