Today is World !
As the world comes together to tackle the pandemic, it is important to ensure that essential services and operations for dealing with long-standing health problems continue to protect the lives of people with

People ill with COVID-19 and TB show similar symptoms such as cough, fever and difficulty breathing. Both diseases attack primarily the lungs and although both biological agents transmit mainly via close contact, the incubation period from exposure to disease in TB is longer, often with a slow onset.

While experience on COVID-19 infection in TB patients remains limited, it is anticipated that people ill with both TB and COVID-19 may have poorer treatment outcomes, especially if TB treatment is interrupted.

TB patients should take precautions as advised by health authorities to be protected from COVID-19 and continue their TB treatment as prescribed.

Accurate diagnostic tests are essential for both TB and COVID- 19. Tests for the two conditions are different and are available for individuals with respiratory symptoms, which may be similar for the two diseases.

St Kizito Clinic joins the Cervical Cancer Awareness Month. Visit our clinic from Monday 20th Jan to Friday 24th Jan to get screened!

Almost all cervical cancer cases (99%) are linked to infection with high-risk human papillomaviruses (HPV), an extremely common virus transmitted through sexual contact.

Although most infections with HPV resolve spontaneously and cause no symptoms, persistent infection can cause cervical cancer in women.

Effective primary (HPV vaccination) and secondary prevention approaches (screening for, and treating precancerous lesions) will prevent most cervical cancer cases.

When diagnosed, cervical cancer is one of the most successfully treatable forms of cancer, as long as it is detected early and managed effectively.

Nearly 1.5 million of the 1.6 million adolescents living with HIV globally in 2018 were in sub-Saharan Africa. Around two thirds of HIV-positive adolescents in Africa who know their status acquired it through mother-to-child transmission. In 2018, around 157 000 adolescents in sub-Saharan Africa were newly infected – 82% were girls and young women. Let's talk about it. Let's stop the stigma and let's take care of our youth! https://www.afro.who.int/TheTeaOnHIV

At St Kizito Clinic, we work with love and compassion, changing attitudes and challenging stigmas associated with HIV.

We will also run a mobilization activity in Mobilization will be at Oniru, Victoria Island.

It was a great pleasure seeing the high participation and interaction at the three-day training “Medical Work and the Person” which we held at St Kizito Clinic in Idi-Araba from 19th to 21st November 2019. Together with 77 Medical Directors, Doctors, Nurses, Midwives, Health workers and Admin staff (Government, private and Catholic health facilities) we shared health care givers’ knowledge and practical skills to rediscover the meaning of our medical vocation.

We organized the training in collaboration with the Pontifical Missionary Union (PMU) in collaboration with Catholic Archdiocese of Lagos Health Department (CALHD)
Our organizations share the same approach and vision: education should be a key factor in developing caring and dedicated health professionals, health staff should be aware and convinced on the irreducible value of each person. The scale of health care issues is dramatic, with neglected medical infrastructures and some under-skilled medical staff left to face daily burden and emergencies without adequate support. There is the need to bring our experiences and strong relationships with local communities to further enhance train the trainers’ program and involve different target groups in community programs.

The facilitators:

🗨️ Dr Alda Gemmani, Medical Director of St Kizito Clinics
🗨️ Mr John Muhangyi, Principal Education Officer, Luigi Giussani Institute of Higher Education Kampala Uganda
🗨️ Most Rev Dauwa Yohanna, The Vicar Apostolic of Kontagora and the Episcopal Chairman of the Pontifical Mission Societies in Nigeria
🗨️ Rev. Sr. Theresa Afareha, Archdiocesan Health/HIV Coordinator
