Water is a crucial component for sustaining balance. However, the importance of water extends beyond its physiological necessity. Reliable availability to water in appropriate numbers and quality for a healthy living is vital for agricultural food production, personal hygiene, and psychological well-being. But to survive, both consumptive and non-consumptive uses of water are necessary.

What is SWAp in Health?

Towards the end of last year, SWAp - Sector Wide Approach - in health started getting popular.

When the Ekiti State Health Financing Officer, Gbenga Ogunlana was made the State Desk Officer for SWAp in Ekiti State, MicroBiotics stated developing real interest.

And when we were informed that we would be providing a much-needed publicity for the programme that SWAp will be supporting in few days time, we knew it was time to really get involved and know more about what this approach is all about.

In this latest edition of , we delved into the topic, taking our information as presented by the notable health information source: the Nigerian Healthwatch...
..from notable personalities in health sector like the Commisoners for Health in Ekiti and Rivers States, Dr. Oyebanji Filani and Dr. Adaeze Oreh respectively; the Chief of Health, UNICEF Nigeria, Eduardo Celedes, and the Nigeria Coordinating Minister for Health, Prof. Ali Pate.

And finally, a call-in was made by Mr. Ogunlana Gbenga, who finally breaks the topic down to practical understanding, and brings home what SWAp is really about at the state level. It was really an eye opener even for us.

Happy viewing and listening. 🙂

: Ekiti State Vitamin A Supplementation Campaign

➕️ Effective and long-lasting delivery system for vitamin A supplementation is offered during routine immunisation. Research indicates that administering vitamin A supplements concurrently with vaccination is safe and does not affect the seroconversion of paediatric vaccinations.

➖️ Numerous age groups of children at risk of vitamin A deficiency have benefitted from the safe and effective utilisation of routine immunisation services and vaccination programs.

➕️ Less than 10% of children who receive supplements may have moderate symptoms of intolerance, such as loose stools, headaches, fever, and irritability, when the appropriate age-appropriate dose of vitamin A is administered along with vaccinations. Without extra care, these side effects go away in 24 to 48 hours.

➖️ Children who are ill are also treated with vitamin A pills. As part of the integrated care of childhood illness, the WHO recommends vitamin A supplementation as a treatment for measles cases, which has a solid scientific foundation, in addition to treating malnutrition.

➕️ Vitamin A supplementation is taking place in Ekiti State from Saturday 3rd of May to Thursday 8th of May 2025. It is being implemented by the Department of Nutrition, Ekiti State Primary Healthcare Development Agency, spearheaded by the State Nutrition Officer, Dr. Bolanle Victoria, O. RDN, PhD .

➖️ It will fully covered by MicroBiotics EventRep, and it is hoped that many children will be made available by their parents and caregivers to get this important nutrient.
