The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control [NAFDAC] has partnered with Arise Monalisa Foundation [AMF] to further improve the health of Nigerian women.
The Arise Monalisa Foundation embarked on the Uterine Fibroid Project this year which is aimed at creating awareness, sensitising the populace and sponsoring treatment of infected women across the country.
During a meeting which held on Wednesday, January 14, 2015 at NAFDAC headquarters in Abuja, Monalisa Chinda 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 stigmatisation.’
Responding, Paul Orhii, Director General of NAFDAC, said: ‘We are proud to partner with the Arise Monalisa Foundation in mobilising this timely project throughout the 6 geo-political zones in Nigeria, and this also marks the flag-off of our projects for this year.’
Founded by actress and producer, Monalisa Chinda, the Arise Monalisa Foundation (AMF) is an Africa-based not-for-profit institution dedicated to inspiring hope, promoting creativity and creating opportunities for the less privileged across the continent.
