A United States-based non-profit organization, the Quantus Medical Foundation, held a health outreach event on Monday to assist 600 girls from Abia and Enugu states. The initiative, led by Dr. Nnenna Ihekoromadu, a Nigerian-American physician, focused on practical health education, personal hygiene, and building confidence, personal safety, and care knowledge.
Dr. Amaka Kamalu, Chief Medical Director of Aba General Hospital, urged the students to maintain personal hygiene and conduct themselves with dignity. She cautioned against skin-bleaching creams and negative social media influences, emphasizing that true worth lies in cleanliness, self-respect, and responsible behavior. Dr. Uzo Oguine, delivering the keynote on behalf of the foundation's founder, encouraged the girls to prioritize their health, set personal boundaries, and speak out about health challenges or abuse.
The foundation provided each student with a health kit containing personal hygiene essentials and a motivational letter from Dr. Ihekoromadu.
