🌏World Cancer Day – United by Unique🌏
(February 4th was observed yesterday, but the fight continues every day)

Dear People of Akwa Ibom State,

Cancer touches too many families in our communities. In Akwa Ibom and across Nigeria, breast cancer, prostate cancer, cervical cancer, and colorectal cancer remain among the most common.

Yet we know this: early detection saves lives.

At AKSPHCDA, we are committed to bringing quality primary healthcare closer to you — including cancer awareness, screening services (where available), and referrals to treatment centres.

Key messages to remember:

đŸ«”Breast cancer—Do monthly self-breast exams. Report any lump, ni**le discharge, or skin changes early.

đŸ«”Cervical cancer— Regular screening (VIA or Pap smear) can prevent it. The earlier, the better.

đŸ«”Prostate cancer— Men above 50 (or 40 with family history) should discuss PSA testing with a doctor.

đŸ«”Avoid known risks: to***co use, excessive alcohol, unhealthy diet, and lack of physical activity.

đŸ«”Vaccination against HPV helps protect our daughters and future generations from cervical cancer.

You are not alone. Every person’s cancer journey is unique — but together we are stronger. United by UniqueâŁïž

Yesterday's Successful Train the Trainer Summit 2026.

The Akwa Ibom State Primary Health Care Development Agency (AKSPHCDA), in powerful collaboration with The Duke's Infant and Child Foundation and NAPPS Akwa Ibom Chapter, successfully hosted the TRAIN THE TRAINER SUMMIT 2026 yesterday, Tuesday, 20th January 2026 at Vinpy Hotel, Udo Udoma, Uyo.

A massive thank you to all the dedicated proprietors of Nursery, Primary, and Secondary schools, teachers, guardians, and every moulder of destiny who attended.
Your presence and active participation made the event truly impactful.

The summit served a critical purpose: to sensitize and equip school owners and educators on the forthcoming Integrated Measles-Rubella (MR) Vaccine Introduction into Routine Immunisation across Akwa Ibom State.

We are calling on ALL private school proprietors, teachers, and school communities to give us your maximum cooperation and support during the upcoming MR vaccination campaign. Together, we can ensure every child in our state is protected against these preventable diseases.

A special shoutout to the MR STWG (Measles-Rubella Steering Working Group) members who joined us to represent the health sector as one united team. Thank you for your unwavering commitment.

Let’s keep the momentum going.

Protect Our Children. Immunize Today. Build a Healthier Tomorrow.đŸȘâŁïž

Looking back at 2025, what an incredible year it was for health in our state!
Under the visionary leadership of His Excellency, Pastor Umo Bassey Eno (PhD), and through the ARISE Agenda, we achieved remarkable milestones:

Our immunization coverage soared to 98%, protecting thousands from preventable diseases

We achieved a reduction in maternal and child mortality rates of 25% through targeted interventions and free healthcare programs.

We also launched innovative community outreach initiatives that screened over 500,000 residents for non-communicable diseases like hypertension and diabetes thereby empowering healthier lifestyles statewide.

These successes are a testament to our collective efforts—thank you, Akwa Ibomites!

As we embrace the new year, we warmly encourage everyone to prioritize their health. Make regular visits to our state-of-the-art PHC facilities a habit—they're here for you, offering comprehensive services from routine check-ups to specialized care, all courtesy of His Excellency Governor Umo Eno Ph.D's commitment through the ARISE Agenda.

A special call to all mothers and guardians: Let's gear up for the upcoming Measles-Rubella (MR) vaccination campaign! This is a vital step in safeguarding our children's future.
Note the dates and locations—because your participation will help build a healthier Akwa Ibom for generations to come.
