On the 27th of August 2025, a community engagement activity was held at Wassadou Village. The program was facilitated by Public Health Officers (PHOs) from Sintet Minor Health Center and Kalagi Minor Health Center, together with Village Health Workers (VHWs) from Jarrol District.
The main aim of the engagement was to sensitize the Wassadou community on pressing public health concerns such as;
• The Signs and symptoms, modes of transmission and preventive measures of Mpox,
• Environmental management and hygiene
• Birth registration
• Nutritional Surveillance of Under-fives
• Dangers of unsafe abortion
• Seasonal Malaria Chemoprevention (SMC).
This engagement formed part of the continuous effort of the health authorities to bring health information closer to the people and empower communities to take an active role in protecting their health and well-being.
