As we celebrate the international AIDS day, beyond knowing your status, as well as, that of your partner... This year I'll like to emphasize on the elimination of mother to child transmission of the disease.
Pregnant women do well to attend antenatal visits and check your HIV status.
You may be a newly diagnosed pregnant woman but hooray you stand a chance of birthing a healthy baby boy or girl.
Engage with your health-care practitioners, adhere to your medications, safe delivery at a health center with a midwife who knows your status, prophylaxis (Nevirapine) for the lovely newborn.
Together, we shall eliminate mother to child HIV transmission and have our positive mothers stay healthy.

Have you ever been faced with the dilemma of no blood for your loved one ? Many can relate to this. Having access to blood at critical moments could make the difference. Blood donation is a major concern to society as there's a shortage of active blood donors to meet the increased blood demand. A safe supply of blood and blood components is essential in a wide range of critical care procedures performed in hospitals. Poor information on the need for more donors, lack of opportunities to donate blood as well as the benefits of donating push many to resist donating blood. Some even fear the process and feel that they will get contaminated in their attempt at serving humanity. NMA invites you to put away fear, ignore the negative vibes and go forth to offer some blood to save that woman who just lost a lot of blood while giving life, or that little boy who just suffered a fracture and what have you? Donating blood decreases the chances of iron overload hence reducing the risks of hemochromatosis, certain cancers, maintaining a healthy heart and liver, and may also offer a weight loss advantage to obese patients. Join us to advocate for more blood donations in our hospitals. It is time to take action and be a saver.
