The
National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control [NAFDAC]
has partnered with Arise Monalisa Foundation [AMF] to further safeguard
the health of Nigerian women.
After
8 years of supporting major autism campaign causes, funding education
for the less privileged, organizing charitable visits to orphanages and
prisons amongst others, the Arise Monalisa Foundation has embarked on
the Uterine Fibroid Project, this year, aimed at creating awareness,
sensitizing the populace and sponsoring treatment of infected women
across the country.
Speaking during the meeting which held on Wednesday 14th January 2015
at NAFDAC's headquarters in Abuja, Monalisa Chinda, multi-gifted
actress and Founder of AMF said, "It is in giving our lives away that
we find meaning... We appreciate NAFDAC for this strategic partnership
as we look forward to propagating awareness of this fast spreading yet
widely neglected uterine fibroid, which has become very common among
women due to ignorance and stigmatization."
According to Dr. Paul Orhii, Director General, NAFDAC, "We are proud
to partner with the Arise Monalisa Foundation in mobilizing this
timely project throughout the six geo-political zones in Nigeria, and
this also marks the flag-off of our projects for this year."
