Rahama Girl Child and Women Empowerment Initiative

 We had our 1HP review meeting today alongside the TB Champions located across the 40 focal facilities in Kano State where we reviewed project progress, challenges and recommendations for the intervention.  We also awarded the best performing Champions alongside their DOT officers to continue to put in their best and ensure that TB is eradicated in the State through the uptake of TPT. #right2preventtb #endtb #1HPAwareness 

With the Kano State Agency for the Control of AIDS, we trained 20 data collectors to conduct a baseline assessment at some selected communities and schools to understand the knowledge levels of HIV services among Adolescents and Young People. #hivawareness #rahamaatwork

Integrated Sickle Cell Awareness Campaign - RAHAMA  To commemorate #SickleCellAwarenessMonth, we held an integrated outreach for genotype, malaria testing, TB screening and placement of TPT for eligible populations.  The Emir of Kano represented by the Emirate's Chairman Committee on Health Dr Bashir Ibrahim Muhammad (Dankaden Kano) engaged and sensitized the public on the importance of genotype and TB screening, urging them to utilize the opportunity. He urged other organizations like RAHAMA to consider the Emir's Palace for outreaches like this. Over 200 people tested their genotype, 100 malaria tests, over 300 BP measurements and consultations, 152 TB screenings, 45 presumptive cases and 107 TPT uptake. #SickleCellAwareness #EndTBNow #SickleCellAwareness #EndTBNow
