*Steps you can take to promote the health of your lungs*

You can think of lung health like keeping a house well-ventilated and clean — you want to maximize airflow, minimize pollutants, and strengthen the “walls” and “filters.”
Here are practical, evidence-based steps to improve and maintain healthy lungs.

*Here’s a clear, practical list of steps you can take to promote healthy lungs:*

1. Don’t smoke and avoid secondhand smoke
• Smoking is the leading cause of chronic lung disease and lung cancer.
• Even occasional exposure to secondhand smoke can harm lung tissue.

2. Stay physically active
• Regular aerobic exercise (walking, swimming, cycling) strengthens respiratory muscles and improves oxygen exchange.

3. Practice good breathing habits
• Use deep breathing or diaphragmatic breathing to fully expand your lungs.
• Try pursed-lip breathing to improve airflow.

4. Avoid air pollutants
• Limit exposure to dust, fumes, and chemical vapors.
• Check air quality indexes and stay indoors during high pollution days.

5. Keep indoor air clean
• Use air purifiers or HEPA filters if needed.
• Ensure proper ventilation in your home.

6. Eat a lung-friendly diet
• Include fruits, vegetables, and omega-3–rich foods.
• Antioxidants help protect lung tissue from damage.

7. Stay hydrated
• Water keeps mucus in the lungs thin, making it easier to clear.

8. Prevent respiratory infections
• Wash your hands regularly.
• Stay up-to-date on vaccines (flu, pneumonia, COVID-19).

9. Get regular medical check-ups
• Especially important if you have asthma, COPD, or a smoking history.

Kwara State Hospitals Management Board Acquires Minivan to Boost Drug Distribution to State Hospitals

The management of the Kwara State Hospitals Management Board (KW-HMB) has strengthened its drug and consumables delivery system with the acquisition of a dedicated minivan for drug distribution. This will go a long way to support the dispatch motorcycles the board currently has.

Dr.Abdulraheem Malik, the Executive Secretary of the Kwara State Hospitals Management Board, handed the van over to the state’s Essential Drugs Programme (EDP) manager Pharmacist Lovette Oladele yesterday at the head office of the board.

This new addition with the earlier acquired dispatch motorcycles will ensure timely delivery of essential medicines and consumables to state hospitals, improve timely access to life saving drugs, reduce supply delays, and enhance emergency supply capacity. By streamlining the drug supply chain, KW-HMB aims to keep hospitals well-stocked, support healthcare workers, and improve patient care.

Dr.Malik while presenting the van to EDP, said “this will help us close gaps in our drugs and consumables supply chain system so we can further reduce the rate at which patients have to go outside our state hospitals to source for drugs when prescribed.

We are working as hard as we can and getting closer to where we want our state healthcare service delivery system to be”

This KW-HMB’s initiative reflects Kwara State Government’s commitment to efficient service delivery and better health outcomes for all residents of Kwara State.

*Kwara Gov inspects multistorey hospital, says states spending on people-focused projects*
• _Gov showcases road projects statewide, commends President’s support_

Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq on Sunday inspected ongoing construction work at the multistorey Oluremi Tinubu Hospital in Ilorin, the state capital, a few days after he approved N20bn additional funding for statewide public school infrastructure in the state.

In an interview with reporters at the site, the Governor said the hospital project is one of his administration’s investments in public health, education, road networks, and social investment across various demographies.

Last Tuesday, the Governor inspected different rural road projects in Asa Local Government, including 23.23 kilometres Oko Olowo Express-Sokoto-Tafatafa-Elere-Owode Oja Baba Kudu-Akopari-Otte Oja road and 17.7km Madi Peeke road.

Governor AbdulRazaq said the government has constructed many roads within and outside the capital city Ilorin, while many others are ongoing.

He said that many other states of the federation are also doing well in project ex*****on, citing massive hospital projects in Lagos, Kaduna, and many other states.

He tied the surge in project ex*****ons across the states, including in road, school, and health sectors, to the rise in allocation that followed the removal of fuel subsidy.

He also commended President Bola Tinubu for his support for the state.

The Governor told reporters: "The First Lady of Nigeria Senator Oluremi Tinubu was here six months ago to lay the foundation of this world-class hospital.

"And work has progressed tremendously. Hopefully, in the second quarter of next year, we'll be done with it. The majority of the equipment have been ordered already: radiography machine, a CT scanner, MRI, PET scan machines, and all sorts of equipment have been ordered."

He added that the administration is also working on other projects, including in other parts of the state such as the International Conference Centre, ICT Centre Shonga, Patigi (Regatta) Motel, Sheabutter Factory in Kaiama, and Ibrahim Taiwo Road in Offa.

"This is not the only thing going on in the state. We have other major infrastructure projects ongoing, and this is not just in terms of healthcare all over Nigeria," he said.

"A lot of infrastructural projects are also going on in different states of the federation. We were recently in Kaduna with the President to commission a hospital (built by the Kaduna State Government).

"Lagos State is building a huge hospital (New Massey Clinic), I believe, children's hospital. Katsina is doing the same. So, all over the country, healthcare has been improved by the sub-nationals. All this is due to the increased funding from the federal revenue.

"Work will continue in all other major aspects. What people see majorly is road infrastructure, but in terms of education, a lot of investments are going on. I have recently approved another N20bn spending on education infrastructure. Education is not part of what you call a low-hanging fruit. So people don't quickly see investments in that. They mostly only see investments in roads. But a lot is going on in agriculture and other sub sectors. And we'll continue to do more and deepen investment in all these areas.

"For example, if you go to Kwara South, we've done the Oro to Arandun Road. Ajase-Ipo to Oke Ode is still ongoing, done in phases. We've done Omu-Aran to Oko. We have done Orisa Bridge along Oro-Ago. We are doing the road to Owu waterfall as well. We've done road in Offa. We're also about to do the Ilemona bypass, among others."
