More highlights from BENIN Hepatitis outreach 📍📢🚀

01/08/2025

Yesterday in Benin, Chronic Disease Mate for Africa (CDMA) and Auxichron Health led a free community outreach in commemoration of World Hepatitis Day.

50 persons were screened for hepatitis, and many more had their blood pressure and blood sugar levels checked.

Beyond the tests, we led real conversations about liver health, and the power of early detection, treatment and vaccination for hepatitis.

Residents also benefited from free consultations with our licensed medical doctors for other health concerns.

We are grateful for every sponsor and volunteer who showed up and believed in this mission.

This is how we build healthier futures - one street, one voice, one screening at a time.

Watch out for our other activities on hepatitis and our next stop in Lagos!! 🔴💥

This is World Hepatitis Day - and Hepatitis B remains a silent threat affecting millions in Nigeria who don’t even know they have it.

Without symptoms, it can quietly damage the liver for years, leading to cirrhosis or liver cancer.

But early detection can save lives.

Join or support us this Thursday July 31st as we sensitize residents at Obakhavbaye Axis, Benin City about hepatitis. There will be
• Free Hepatitis B screening
• Blood pressure & sugar checks
• Health education & counseling

💙 You can sponsor a test with ₦2,500!

We’re proud to spotlight Eunice Ayeni, a dedicated member of CDMA team. She is one of the pioneers of the CanReAct project (winner of the Policy4Cancer designathon) . Her contribution to advancing cancer advocacy through research-informed policy and community engagement reflects the caliber of youth leadership we champion.

We’re glad to share that our project, CanReAct won First Place at the 2025 Policy4Cancer Designathon in Abuja!

Over the past weeks, we’ve been working on CanReAct - a new community-powered model to bridge the gap between cancer research, community voices, and policy decisions.

Cervical and liver cancers are claiming lives in Nigeria not just because of limited care, but because research rarely captures the people or influence policies well enough especially on vaccination and screening. Communities are left unheard. Policies remain disconnected.

CanReAct is changing that.

We’re deeply grateful to 4Communities by Communities , the Nigerian Institute of Medical Research (NIMR) and other wonderful partners for this opportunity.

Our pilot begins soon and we can’t wait to share what’s next. 💙
