GROUP WAGES ADVOCACY CAMPAIGN ON ANEMIA

In Nigeria, Anemia is a public health concern with over 50% of pregnant women suffering from Anemia. Over the years, this has contributed to both morbidity and mortality amongst both pregnant and lactating mothers.

Anemia is a condition where there is low hemoglobin and red blood cells in the body. These cells are responsible for carrying oxygen around the body.

On the 16th of May, 2025, the Imo State team of the Victoria Oyiya Health Foundation(VOHF) as part of the organization’s commitment to health awareness in sub-Saharan Africa, particularly Nigeria, visited the Owerri Municipal Health Center where both the new and expectant mothers were educated and sensitized on Anemia, its prevention and treatment.

Donations were also made to the mothers who were grateful to the VOHF team.
