Please sponsor me this month! I am doing a 200, 000 step challenge for the month of July, to raise money for Naijaid.
This is a charity initiative set up by a highly qualified and experienced Allied Health professional and supported by a medical doctor, providing; medical equipment, training to clinical staff in Nigeria as well health promotion, raising health awareness in local communities and rural areas around Nigeria to encourage healthy lifestyle changes.
As a healthcare professional with over 12 years in the NHS, I am painfully aware of the importance of having access to free medical treatment of any sort. In the UK we are fortunate to not have to worry about this and often we may not appreciate it. In some countries even the simplest medical treatment - consultation, imaging investigation, blood test (to name but a few), is something that they cannot come by so easily.
