Lara Adejoro The Medical Women’s Association of Nigeria and other stakeholders have called on medical practitioners to strengthen collaborations to enhance prompt diagnosis and patient care. They made the appeal on Thursday in Abuja at the MWAN’s women in medicine, health, and wellness conference themed ‘Strengthening networks for prompt diagnosis and care,’ organised by MWAN and Focus Africa. The President of the Medical Women Association of Nigeria, Prof Rosemary Ogu said the conference was meant to ensure collaboration on improving diagnosis and care.
She said, “We’re saying that everyone should come together for collaboration, and networking so that we can look after patients better. And so to do that, we need to know what are the things available, who is doing what, and how can I be better healthy to take care of you because if I’m not healthy, I can’t take care of you. “So, we have a wellness aspect, we have innovations aspects, we have advancement aspects, and then we have learnings from the field.
If I’ve done something, I know how, but you don’t know how because you haven’t done it. But if I share my experience, you can learn, and so we are learning from one another, especially with cervical cancer elimination. “Cervical cancer is a disease that can be eliminated, but some don’t know, some know, some are doing something, some are not doing.
So, we need to come together so we can do more.” The Mandate Secretary, Health Services and Enviro.
