Millennium Fellowship Project: ANTIMICROBIALS and ME
Antimicrobials and Me is a relevant project because of the threat indiscriminate use of Antimicrobial agents has posed on human health and Ecosystem at large. It's a project aimed at reaching the University Community and Local Communities including Secondary Schools in Nsukka through Video Clips, Podcasts and Outreaches enlightening them on how to take care of their health and those of their Animals without Antimicrobials being the first point of call especially if not prescribed by either a Medical Doctor or Veterinarian. This is a team work and we also want to make sure that this message is also passed across in the native language of the People cause we are planning to reach out to the local farmers as well. We are also on the lookout for people that have some experience in research with Antimicrobials and their resistance or some other enlightening experiences that would be of great help to the population we are about to reach.
About the Millennium Fellow
Arungwa Mmesoma Esther is a vibrant young lady who was born, raised resides in Nigeria. From a very young age, she had been very much interested in improving the health of the Nigerian Community but started seeing the actualisation as she got into Vet School at University of Nigeria Nsukka.
As part of her training to be a Veterinarian, she was introduced to the concept of "One Health" where She totally understood her crucial role in ensuring the optimum health of Humans, Animals and Environment hence, the deeper interest to improve Good Health and Well-being.
Overtime, this has led to her involvement with local and international organisations to improving the knowledge of her Community on Public Health Matters and promoting Good Antimicrobial Stewardship as Antimicrobial Resistance has been noted to be a silent Pandemic. She hopes to advance professionally in this light for the greater good.
She's loves learning and usually enjoys reading Life Writing.
