Diphtheria is vaccine-preventable. 🛡️
Don’t wait until it reaches your child when prevention is within reach. Ensure your children receive their recommended vaccinations and protect them from this serious disease.
Vaccinate. Protect. Prevent Diphtheria.

If you smoke, consider quitting and seek support when needed. Avoid second-hand smoke and encourage others to protect their lung health.
Healthy lungs.

🫁 PROTECT YOUR LUNGS. PROTECT YOUR COMMUNITY.
Quitting smoking is one of the best ways to protect your lungs and reduce your risk of respiratory disease, including TB.
In loving memory of my late mother, Mrs. Regina Onwuefi Edeh, we began a health outreach focused on Diabetes and Hypertension awareness, free BP & blood glucose checks, and health education.
That tribute became the beginning of REED HOPE FOUNDATION.

It was a privilege to participate in and conclude the Maiden Scientific Conference of the Federal University Teaching Hospital Lafia (FUTHL) alongside the Director of the Centre for Vaccine Research and Biotechnology (CVRB) @Fulth_vaccine, Prof. Mustapha Umar Imam and colleagues.
The conference provided a valuable platform for scientific collaboration and innovative research.
I am particularly proud that our Research and Development Department emerged as the overall winner for the highest number of abstracts submitted and approved for presentation.
🫁 Tuberculosis (TB) is Preventable, Treatable, and Curable!
TB remains a major public health challenge, but together we can end it. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment save lives, reduce transmission, and protect our communities.
If you have a persistent cough lasting two weeks or more, fever, night sweats, unexplained weight loss, or chest pain, visit the nearest health facility for screening and care.
Let's raise awareness, fight stigma, support those affected, and work towards a TB-free future.
You are all invited to join us on our upcoming webinar hosted by the Center for Vaccine Research & Biotechnology Lafia on Mpox,Lassa fever, and Dengue. What these outbreaks reveal about Nigeria's vaccine readiness. #FUTHLAFIA#researchscientist#webinar
