Nigerians are exposed to a high risk of meningitis because of the high temperature compared to other countries outside Africa. Preventive measures of meningitis stop the spread of the disease because it is highly contagious too. The disease causes an inflammation in the brain and spinal cord leading to other health complications. Our preventive health campaign at Ejemen Foundation targets everyone helping to stop the spread of the diseases.
While there are existing measures against the disease, its highly contagious nature still exposes many people to the risk of infection.
The virus that causes it can easily be transmitted from one person to another through personal contact with infected persons or items that have been contaminated.
Since healthcare is not adequate, fatality rate among the poor and vulnerable is still high. People need to know more about the disease and how best to prevent it,
Stroke is equally a preventable disease that can be avoided with preventive health care measures. However, preventive measures for stroke are more of lifestyle modifications that can lower the risk of the disease.
Tackling Tuberculosis effectively includes strict adherence to preventive measures for tuberculosis. The disease is highly contagious and it is deadly. The poor that living is clustered settlements without adequate health care are more exposed to it.
Since there is no cure for cancer, preventing the cancerous process from ever starting is the best way to tackle it. That is what the primary prevention of cancer will be effective.
The Princess Ejemen Foundation (PEF) was founded January, 2004 in Benin City, Edo State. PEF has been providing humanitarian and charitable services to thousands of Nigerians ever since.
