" There's saying that says " one tree cannot make a forest and sometimes having passion while in isolation of likes minded might leads to fruitslessness" I believe community plays a big role in mans life , finding interest in SDGs might be unyielding if one is not in the right community because in community one would unleran, learn and relearn. I also look forward to my participation and unique contributions to the community. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Operation Kick Out Malaria
PANS medical outreach in partnership with Folaranmi Abdulrahman a 2024 millennium fellow,
The event themed "Operation kick out the Malaria, A campaign against Malaria" was organized by pharmaceutical association of Nigeria students (PANS) where I partnered with them as a 2024 millennium fellow, a member of the association and a public health advocate. The event took place on 28-sept- 2024 at a particular village called Gidan yaro in permanent site, Usmanu dan fodio university sokoto, we left for the said venue around 9am in the morning due to some unavoidable delays, with our costal bus other vehicles all summing up to 50 students.Perhaps village leaders had been informed of our coming prior to this day to seek their permission and luckily it was granted, However,On getting to the venue, we swept in to the action,starting with enlightening the villagers about malaria, we talked about how it can be can be contacted through an infected female anopheles mosquito, the preventive measure that can be put in place and what needs to be done when one is down with Malaria, after this , we conducted some basic test for Malaria by using rapid diagnostic malaria test kits (RDT), whoever tested to be negative was given prophylactic medicine for Malaria, and whoever tested to be positive was given some antimalarial medication plus paracetamol, while some Oral rehydration salt (ORS) and some basic medications that are often needed by toddlers was also given to the parents of any kids who need it, this medical outreach covered about 80-90% of the total population village , this is made possible because we divided ourselves into 4 groups where different groups ply differents route within the village, thus house to house medical outreach was realized, Generally the villagers that benefitted from this could be estimated to be 150+ ,after carrying out the outreach throughout the village making sure every possible area was touched , we headed back to our bus where we took some pictures with some small video clip, everybody was happy and glad that they were able to help afterwards we left to our various destinations.
