Millennium Fellowship Project: Fight Against Hypertension
The Fight Against Hypertension is a project that aims at promoting the awareness of hypertension (HTN) to students at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, and by extension, to their loved ones. Hypertension is a threat to the health of people, and it kills silently.
There is an axiom that an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure. Therefore, the project is one of preventive measure towards HTN and extension to other cardiovascular diseases like stroke and heart failure.
The project would promote quality health through the following activities:
i. Creating awareness of chronic diseases, in particular hypertension (HTN).
ii. In light of the fact that HTN is not only a disease of the elderly but can also affect the young, a healthy living tomorrow begins with living right and consciously today.
iii. Educating people on how to go about the prevention and also better management of the disease for those already suffering from it is the key.
iv. This project would be carried out through outreaches (free blood pressure checks), seminars, virtual meetings via Zoom, and the creation of fliers, banners, and 3D animations to communicate our intentions.
