In Preparation for the upcoming Maternal, newborn, and Child Health (MNCH) Week in Kebbi State , we had a roundtable discussion on the lessons learned and challenges encountered from the previous MNCHWs and deliberated on possible solutions. MNCH Week (MNCHW) is a week-long event organized by the National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA), State Primary Health Care Development agencies, and the State Ministries of Health, in collaboration with partners. The week delivers an integrated package of highly cost-effective and curative services/interventions such as - antenatal care, a package of preventive nutrition services, and immunization to strengthen the routine primary health care services. I was privileged to have anchored the discussion and also provided the necessary contribution in terms of commodity requirements and supply chain. #Logistics #MNCH #supplychain

Dementia-related deaths rose substantially during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic but fell in the second year. COVID-19 vaccines and fewer deaths among nursing home and long-term care residents contributed to the decrease.

As winter approaches and the demand for services increase, our mobile medical units can support with minimising waiting times and crowding across a number of patient services. We have been working with several Trusts and Health Boards, supporting with a range of mobile clinical capacity units to align with their winter plans. These include: - A&E Triage, Integrated Urgent Care and Same Day Emergency Care solutions to support with increasing capacity in A&E departments - Vaccination units designed for community engagement. They can support with reaching at-risk cohorts and increase winter flu and COVID-19 capacity - Acute respiratory hubs bringing care closer to home, helping to alleviate pressures at hospitals whilst increasing accessibility to support with health inequalities - Essential healthcare services using a mobile outpatient clinic, improving access to health checks For more information on how we can support, take a look at our winter planning document or visit our website: https://lnkd.in/ey9yhbbj #WinterPlanning #Vaccination #Respiratory #CommunityHealth #UrgentCare
