On 1/5/2025, AICD launched the Community Led Monitoring (CLM) Project at Makada Health Clinic, in line with ACOMIN’s efforts on Malaria Control, Immunization, and Nutrition. The project includes several key activities:

Focus Group Discussions (FGDs): The Community Accountability Team (CAT) engages vulnerable groups—especially pregnant women and mothers of under-five children—on Antenatal care, Malaria, Tuberculosis, and HIV, focusing on causes, prevention, and treatment. They also emphasize hygiene, avoiding self-medication, and collaborating with health facilities.

Client Exit Interviews (CEIs): Using a standardized ACOMIN questionnaire, clients are interviewed as they leave the facility about commodity availability, service quality, and social amenities.

Advocacy Visits: CAT meets with key stakeholders to find solutions to identified issues and build partnerships for sustaining the project beyond CAT’s involvement in the community.

Prioritize our mental health?🤔

But first, what is mental health?🧐

Mental health refers to how we think, feel, and behave. It's like our physical health, but instead of our bodies, it's about our minds. Just like how we take care of our bodies to stay healthy, we need to take care of our minds too!

So, how do we know if we need to prioritize our mental health?

You might be experiencing:

Constant fatigue & lack of motivation?
Loss of interest in things you once enjoyed?
Feeling overwhelmed or anxious often?
Difficulty sleeping or changes in appetite?

These could be signs that you need to take care of your mind! Remember, mental health matters just as much as physical health.

Take a step today to prioritize your well-being:

Reach out to a friend or loved one
Practice self-care
Seek professional help if needed

Let's break the stigma and support each other's mental health journeys!

During a Focus group discussion on Resilient and Sustainable Systems for Health (RSSH) with Community members in Dadangoro, Katsina state, we asked participants a question.

“What are the gaps you have in the health facility in your community?” Or simply put “What’s missing in your community health facility?”

As an organization, we strongly believe in the regular and proper use of community healthcare facilities to boost the health and wellness status of community members. However, we understand that most smaller communities tend to favor the use of local remedies for treatments, opposed to modern day medicines and treatment. To get to the root of the matter, we asked the locals of dadangoro, and now we’re asking you,

"Menene ke rasa a cibiyar kiwon lafiya a unguwarku?".

There's a virus slowly penetrating Nigeria again called the Monkey Pox virus. Here's what you should know to stay safe at all times 👇

🔍 What Causes Monkeypox?

From Animals: Monkeypox can spread from animals like rats and monkeys to people. This can happen if you touch these animals or their blood, skin, or meat.
From People: It can also spread from person to person. This happens if you touch someone with Monkeypox, or their clothes and bedding.
🛡️ How to Stay Safe:

Avoid Wild Animals: Don’t touch wild animals, especially if they look sick.

Wash Your Hands: Keep your hands clean by washing them often with soap and water.

Wear Protection: Use gloves and masks if you are caring for someone with Monkeypox.

Stay Apart: If someone has Monkeypox, keep them away from others until they get better.

Get Vaccinated: Ask a doctor about vaccines that can protect you from Monkeypox.

Spread the Word: Share this information with friends and family so everyone knows how to stay safe.

👩‍⚕️ Look Out for These Signs:

Fever (feeling very hot)
Skin rash with blisters
Swollen areas around the neck, armpits, or groin
Feeling tired and achy

AICD advises all who develop these signs to go to their healthcare provider right away, and confirm their status.
