#Nigeria's security forces open fire on protesters in the middle of #Lagos after the imposition of a 24-hour curfew. It follows almost two weeks of #EndSARS demonstrations across the country. https://t.co/Yzg78GPGxN

You know it: #EndSARS #EndBadGovernanceinNIGERIA for crimes against humanity and #EndPoliceBrutalityinNigeria for the same reason!!!

An oxymoron: Asking the government to #EndSARS because SARS officials terrorize lawabiding citizens instead of apprehending robbers. The government opens fire on peaceful protesters instead of apprehending the "hoodlums" carrying out violent crimes. #EndBadGoveranceInNigeria

In Uganda, there is a partnership between Western services and traditional healers. THs encouraged to refer patients to healthcare facilities and not dissuade them from taking medications. And patients also continue working with THs. Brilliant! #CUGH2019 #MentalHealth

Based on GDP, Nigeria is a middle income country but we spend very little on healthcare. 3.7% of our GDP to be exact. And only 3.3% of the national budget is allocated to mental health

When it comes to mental health, all countries are developing countries - Collins and Saxena #CUGH2019

Many guidelines exist for best practices but the issue is that they are often not enforced both by the sending and host countries. #CUGH2019

School's can frame this to students in terms of patient safety. Stakeholders at various schools can be encouraged to buy into pre-educating their students by framing this as risk mitigation #CUGH2019

That way if while on a STEGH they are presented with an opportunity to participate in medical care/procedures deemed illegal at their level of training, they are equipped to politely decline #CUGH2019

[At Your Cervix MD @cervixmd]

On the other hand, there is often a lack of knowledge specifically among students participating in STEGHs about what constitutes illegal medical practice #CUGH2019
