Recent study by Gates Institute - affiliated faculty reports that Nigeria could save $12.9 billion upon meeting the current unmet needs for #Familyplanning by 2030. The time to step up access to #FP in #Nigeria is now! @Fmohnigeria

@pharmtea @PaaneahF @pharmtea, there are 4 key things we can do within the health sector, we can capture these thoughts on what I describe as ABCD
a. Access to comprehensive information to all young people at school & community level including sexuality education & behavioural change communications

@Bisiadenipekun @PaaneahF To give a quick answer, First, access to contraceptives is very essential to promoting sexual and reproductive health.

[Adebisi B Adenipekun @Bisiadenipekun]

@adesegunfatusi @PaaneahF This speaks to the need to promote knowledge of and access to contraceptives among #adolescents. How do we deal with provider bias in ensuring #access to #contraceptives and #SRH

[Adesegun Fatusi @adesegunfatusi]

@PaaneahF A key implication of sexual development in adolescence is the attainment of fertility and reproductive capacity, which implies that the adolescent girl can become pregnant of engaged in unprotected sex,

4. Sir, @adesegunfatusi as we all know that there is a dearth of knowledge on adolescent sexual health and development. What are the implications?

[Adesegun Fatusi @adesegunfatusi]

@PaaneahF Okay... Adolescence involves phenomenal physical, biological, psychological, and social changes, which affects all areas of the adolescent health– and makes adolescence a truly unique stage of life. Adolescence also provides the critical foundation for adult health...

@PaaneahF In girls, breasts start developing first, followed by the growing of hair in the pubic area. Next, hair starts growing in the armpits. Menstruation usually happens last. In boys, the testicles and the penis get bigger first, #teens4SexualHealth #teenHealthWeek

[Adesegun Fatusi @adesegunfatusi]

@PaaneahF ....followed by the growing of hairs in the pubic area & the armpits. A small amount of breast tissue might develop at this time. The voice then becomes deeper, and facial hair growth occurs last in the process.

[Adesegun Fatusi @adesegunfatusi]

@PaaneahF ....Delay in pubertal development may sometimes happen for a variety of reasons. Pubertal delay may be suspected in girls when (a) no development of breast tissue by age 13-14; (b) when menstruation has not occurred 4-5 years after first appearance of breast tissue;

[Adesegun Fatusi @adesegunfatusi]

@PaaneahF A3. Puberty, which is initiated in late childhood through some hormonal changes, leads to sexual maturation and reproductive capability. Puberty often takes place in girls between age 8 – 13 years (averagely starts at 10-11 years),...

3. Thank you. Sir, from your wealth of knowledge sir, we will like you to briefly discuss on Adolescent sexual development process? #Teens4SexualHealth #2018TeenHealth #TeenHealthWeek

[Adesegun Fatusi @adesegunfatusi]

@PaaneahF A2. Percentage wise, about 90% of adolescents live in developing countries; of which sub-Saharan Africa contributes about 14% of the world adolescent population,

[Adesegun Fatusi @adesegunfatusi]

@PaaneahF ...but contributes an estimated 28% of all adolescent deaths in the world with sexual and reproductive health problems as a leading cause.
