Over the last few months, I took some time off health content curation and advocacy, to focus on some personal and professional development. However, the tragic and preventable death of my friend and colleague has been a wake up call for me to refocus on what truly matter most to me, Health Awareness and Advocacy. As one deeply affected by the deplorable state of our health care system, I will not stop speaking and clamouring for justice, for proper funding of health, for proper remuneration of medical professionals and most importantly for health education of my dear Nigerians. Health is wealth, and until the Nigerian Government and Nigerians begins to prioritize and invest in health, we would remain poor. However, in my lifetime, The Nigerian healthcare system would work, brick by brick, office by office, department by department, people will no longer die from preventable diseases. I don’t know how, but I know it’s possible and it’s a dream I dare to have. Grateful for the opportunity to tell my story, our story on BBC. I hope these shines more light and lead to a cascade of productive change. Happy Birthday Joy! ❤️❤️

The last few days have been overwhelming for me to say the least. We lost our friend and colleague, Dr Vwaere in the most painful and avoidable way. And although my heart is bleeding what I will not accept is for this to become another case swept under politics. I am grateful for the opportunity to speak on Arise TV today to set the records right. The elevator in General Hospital Odan has been non-functional and faulty for years and even when I worked there in 2021 I got stuck in that elevator. It could have been any of us that crashed through 10 floors and to see the way this is handled by the Lagos state, GHL, HSC, and other medical bodies breaks my heart even more. Our friend died due to negligence. Negligence on the part of the organisation which we complained repeatedly to for years and who assured us that our complaints were being worked on. It will surprise you know not up this incidence was it revealed that there was no maintenance contract between the HSC, General Hospital Lagos, the Elevator company and the facility management, so all these years of complaints to the medical guild who were these complaints made to? Is this not negligence? Vwaere was in the elevator for 40 minutes and still got to the emergency and oxygen was still being looked for, an anesthesiologist had to be sent for thrice before he showed up, the MD showed up when CPR already started. These were hospital management staffs that were fully aware that a major incident had occurred. Why was there not a proper emergency response for her? Is this not medical negligence? It’s a long list and our demands are simple, we don’t want nameless arrests or words on paper. We want every single individual who was negligent and didn’t do their jobs right to be arraigned, questioned and if found guilty be faced with the full course of the law. Enough of the lies, oppression and suppression. If someone is guilty, expose them and call all parties to book. A crime was committed, people are guilty, let all of them face the arm of justice. Then renovations of Doctor’s quaters and demand for PROPER INFRASTRUCTURE FOR ALL HOSPITALS IN LAGOS AND PROPER REMUNERATION OF DOCTORS!

Hello everyone! I am working on a very important project and I NEED your help in filling a survey. My team and I at Datalab are working on series of projects where we have identified key public health challenges which be can be solved with technology, Big data and AI. Currently we are working on the “Smart Recipes: Using Data and AI to Understand Eating Habits and to Create Affordable and Nutritious Meals Amid Rising Food Prices.” We can all agree that the cost of food items have skyrocketed over the last few months. The cost of living crisis is affecting the healthy eating habits of people around the world. This means public health is under attack, potentially leading to widespread ill health soon. We are proposing an innovative solution: Can we use Data Insights and Artificial Intelligence tools to create RECIPES that are budget-friendly (less expensive), contain sufficient calories, and enable people to have a healthy diet in the face of soaring food prices? Now that’s where you come in. To make informed decisions and solutions, we need substantial data. We have crafted a 3 min survey to collate data on the subject and I would really really appreciate it if you could fill this questionnaire and share to as many people as possible.
