Bringing you sights and sounds from the BusinessDay Health Conference 2025!!!

Representing APIN, Dr. Adetolu Ademujimi (Technical Advisor, Health Financing) participated in two panel discussions, sharing APIN's unique experience in expanding affordable access to medicines and essential commodities in underserved communities and working with our stakeholders in the government to adopt innovative strategies for health financing.

We were also honoured to engage with the Honourable Minister of State for Health, Dr. Iziaq Adekunle Salako, who contributed to the discourse from the policy and system reforms perspectives.

An amazing opportunity to learn, share and grow for the good of Nigerians! Looking forward to the next edition!

Our CEO and Deputy CEO (Programs) are in Lagos for the 7th National Council on AIDS in Lagos which commenced on the 5th of August 2025.

Hosted by the National Agency for the Control of AIDS, the theme this year is “Advancing the National HIV Sustainability Agenda in the Changing Global Policy on Aid.”

This is especially relevant as Nigeria navigates recent shifts in foreign aid, including uncertainty around continued support for the country’s HIV response.

APIN is proud to join other key stakeholders for this important conversation on how Nigeria can strengthen its HIV program by using internal resources and building on the already significant successes we have recorded as a country, the knowledge and experience of experts, including our own leadership.

Together, we are working toward a future where more people living with HIV can achieve and maintain viral suppression.

Babies deserve the absolute BEST start in life and nutrition is a make or break step in their growth and development.

Breastfeeding is the best way to ensure that infants get all the nutrients they need and everyone knows that, right?

WRONG!

We've heard so many myths and misconceptions about Breastfeeding this , we will be sharing and busting some of them.

WHY?
1. Because every baby deserves the power of good nutrition, and we are passionate about making sure they get it.
2. Because myths aren't helpful or safe, they can be dangerous, but the right information can save lives.

What is one of the simplest, yet most powerful tools in preventing infections and keeping patients safe? Good hand hygiene!

Last week, we joined forces with Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) and the Ogun State Ministry of Health to kick off the MeMo-I (Mentor, Motivate, Improve) Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) mentorship programme across selected facilities in Ogun State.

The MeMo-I programme builds on insights from NCDC’s Point Prevalence Survey and observations from our engagements and workshops with facility-based health workers to
strengthen hand hygiene and foster safer, cleaner, and more resilient health systems.

Good hand hygiene protects everyone from nurses and doctors to families and communities and APIN is committed to working with our supported facilities to build and sustain a culture where clean hands are second nature

For too long, public health stories have been buried in data sheets and donor reports. But the truth is...you need more than just numbers. You need to see the people, the families, and the communities behind the work.

Our Communications Team recently came together, not just to learn, but to transform how we talk about HIV/AIDS, maternal health, and our other life-saving interventions.

We’re rethinking how to tell stories that educate, inspire action, and showcase APIN’s role in driving sustainable change; not just in Nigeria, but across Africa and the global landscape.

This is what improving health and changing lives is all about.

This is APIN!

Special thanks to The Comms Avenue for guiding this journey with clarity, insight, and practical tools to elevate how we communicate our impact.

When tradition meets innovation, lives are transformed. 💡🤝

In Nigeria, many women still choose to give birth outside of health facilities. While that’s their right, it often means missing out on essential antenatal care — like HIV testing, Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission (PMTCT) services, and other lifesaving interventions for mothers and babies.

So we asked: What if we took healthcare to where women are?

Meet Noah Audu, fondly called Dr. Igba — a traditional birth attendant (TBA) who started out helping his grandmother deliver babies and now runs a thriving Traditional Birth Home in Benue State.

Through our partnership with TBAs like Dr. Igba, APIN is driving impact by:
✔️ Providing training on PMTCT and safe delivery
✔️ Supplying equipment (fetoscopes, delivery couches, BP monitors)
✔️ Supporting facility renovations and infection control
✔️ Expanding access to HIV testing and care

Today, Dr. Igba offers full PMTCT services, has employed 6 staff members, and continues to serve his community with renewed strength and skill.

This is what happens when we work together. This is APIN. 💪

The picture is the caption!

Another friendly reminder that an undetectable viral load is possible if you take your HIV medications consistently, as prescribed by your doctor.

Why is this important?

Because Undetectable equals Untransmittable (U=U). The more people who achieve an undetectable viral load, the sooner we can achieve the 95-95-95 goals and FOR GOOD!

At their Program Review Meeting in Abuja, our Pharmacy & Supply Chain Management directorate came together to reflect, strategize, and reimagine how we sustain uninterrupted access to lifesaving antiretrovirals across our supported facilities.

But we didn’t just look back—we looked ahead. From progress reviews across supported states to planning for new ARV regimens, leveraging AI in supply chain management, and enhancing pharmacovigilance—this meeting was all about finishing strong in FY25!

One standout highlight: Participants formed thematic teams and developed real-world research topics—ideas they’ll refine into publishable abstracts by December 2025.

It wasn’t all spreadsheets and strategy though. Our resident pharmacists ditched their prescription pads for game boards in high-spirited team-building activities that proved collaboration can be both smart and fun.

Huge kudos to our PSCM team for their unwavering dedication to keeping our clients healthy, supported, and thriving.

Proud Partners in Progress for Africa’s Newborns!

We’re proud to be part of the NEST360 alliance, supporting government-led efforts to reduce neonatal mortality through a multipronged, systems-based approach, combining technology, training, and data-driven action.

The newly released interim impact report compares neonatal care across 65 hospitals in four countries (2022 vs. 2024)—and the results are exciting!

📉 Facilities recorded notable reductions in newborn deaths, driven by expanded access to CPAP, Kangaroo Mother Care, phototherapy, and improved quality of care.

But we’re just getting started.

Phase 2 is coming—scaling up from 65 to 144 hospitals, with Ethiopia joining as a new partner country. Together, we’re driving toward one bold goal: Saving 1 million newborn lives each year across sub-Saharan Africa.

It's the little things that make the greatest impact, a fact known all too well by our Director of New Business Development & Non-Communicable Diseases, Dr. Olabanjo Ogunsola.

In this series, "What I Learnt AFTER Joining the Healthcare Space", he shares how seemingly small interventions like hand hygiene and Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) can make a big difference in reducing neonatal mortality and improving health outcomes across Africa.

At APIN, we’re proud to work with NEST360 to champion these often-overlooked practices—because when consistently applied, they hold the power to save lives, especially those of our newborns.
