This day has been set aside to call attention to malaria and its catastrophic effects on families, societies, nations, and Sub-Saharan Africa in general. 

With the introduction of the vaccine and the availability of other preventive measures for those most at risk, there has been significant progress over time. This year, the focus will be on speeding up innovation and the deployment of new strategies in the campaign against malaria, as well as campaigning for universal access to malaria prevention and treatment.

Despite the delay in the reduction of malaria cases and deaths, the situation is still better than it was years ago. We need to develop new technologies to lower malaria's burden and save lives, particularly among children under the age of five.

Clearing bushes, removing stagnant water, using insecticide-treated mosquito nets, indoor insecticide spraying, immunization and early and proper treatment are all steps that should be encouraged.

ROAD TO MASTERS IN THE US

​ jhsph.edu  ROAD TO MASTERS PROGRAM IN THE US   The first thing is deciding where you want to further your education. For me, I believe the United States stands out for various reasons   1.  Their institutions/universities are among the best in the world 2.  Unlike institutions in the UK, you do not have to pay tuition upfront. In  fact  in my case, I had come to the US, started my program and was way into my program before payment was required to register for courses for next term. I only paid acceptance fee back in Nigeria. 3.  There are scholarships available in most institutions, but they are quite competitive. Do due diligence and research on the institutions you are applying to. This is a link of available scholarships in some institutions.  4.  In lieu of scholarships there are loans available which do not require a co-signer/guarantor  like  Prodigy finance  and  Mpower     Depending on when you ar...

NORTH AMERICAN CYSTIC FIBROSIS CONFERENCE (NACFC) 2024

North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference (NACFC) 2024 Day 2 Yet another exciting day at NACFC! I started with an interactive session on some research procedures, which I found helpful for my recruiting work and the data's impact on the population. I learned a lot from the CFTR genetics session, which aligns with one of my research group's projects, and the plenary session on The Journey to Understand and Advance Research in CFRD. I wrapped up the day by networking with colleagues at Johns Hopkins Cystic Fibrosis Center  #nacfc #nacfc2024 #cf #cysticfibrosis
