" “My journey is starting small, but each good step brings us closer to the world we want, where healthcare is accessible, equitable, and life-changing for all, regardless of geography. I am excited to be a Millennium Fellow because it will allow me to merge my passion for rural medicine, cancer awareness, and health advocacy with a global network of young leaders.” "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Cervical Cancer Awareness Campaign
The Cervical Cancer Awareness Campaign targets around 200 female students at the University of Jos and nearby areas, aiming to identify premalignant stages of cervical cancer and prevent their progression to malignancy, while encouraging regular testing for long-term control. Campaigns are being organized within the university, surrounding institutions, and communities across Plateau State, with plans to extend screening to older adults and provide vaccinations for children under nine. Through this initiative, we were able to enhance participants’ knowledge about cervical cancer and its causes and promote preventive practices among the women involved.
