I am deeply honored to be recognised as a #HeroineOfHealth by Women in Global Health Nigeria. This recognition is not only a personal achievement but, more importantly, a testament to the tireless efforts of the entire Wellbeing Foundation Africa’s team, whose dedication to improving maternal, newborn, and child health outcomes continues to impact countless lives.

At The Wellbeing Foundation Africa, we have always prioritised frontline programming, focusing on strengthening the foundation of healthcare by empowering midwives, nurses, and health workers. These individuals are the heart of healthcare systems, especially in underserved areas, where access to quality care can mean the difference between life and death. By ensuring they have the skills, resources, and support needed to thrive, we are contributing to a brighter, healthier future for mothers and children.

Our mission extends beyond Nigeria. We are committed to achieving gender equality in healthcare, both locally and globally. Women health workers are crucial to the well-being of communities, yet they face significant barriers, from lack of resources to systemic gender inequalities. Through our work, we aim to elevate their voices, provide them with opportunities for growth, and advocate for the support they deserve.

As we progress toward these goals, we are grateful for the collaboration of key organisations such as Women in Global Health and Women Lift Health. Together, we continue to advance the cause of Wellbeing For All, ensuring that every mother, every child, and every community has access to the quality healthcare they need.

On this Frontline Friday, I want to express my deepest gratitude to everyone who works alongside us in this mission. Your dedication inspires hope, and together, we are building a more equitable and healthy world.
