Primary Healthcare Boost (Edo): The World Bank’s IMPACT project is driving a major jump in facility-based deliveries in Edo, with 61 primary healthcare centres revitalised and 146 facilities supported with drugs, immunisation outreach and upgrades, plus over 200 laptops/tablets for better health reporting. Men’s Wellness Push (Edo): An Executive Men’s Wellness session urged Edo men to exercise regularly, drink enough water, avoid excess salt and prolonged sitting, and get routine medical check-ups to reduce risks like hypertension and prostate cancer. Sickle Cell Support (Edo): Edo’s health commissioner says medical assistance for indigent sickle cell patients will continue, alongside intensified genotype screening and counselling before marriage. Health Training Expansion (UNIBEN/NUC): Nigeria’s NUC approved six new UNIBEN programmes for 2026/2027, including Speech Language Therapy and Occupational Therapy, plus Nursing Science in collaboration with UBTH—aimed at closing healthcare manpower gaps. Community Medical Outreach (Edo): The Omoarebu Ogbeide Foundation launched a two-day free medical outreach in Ozalla, including support for the Ozalla Primary Health Care Centre and empowerment for youths and women.
