Experts caution Nigerians against indiscriminate use of antibiotics to reduce future health crisis

The World Health Organization is supporting the Federal Government in raising awareness among health workers and Nigerians on the need for caution on antibiotics use to prevent a future public health emergency.

Across the world, experts have been warning for years that antibiotic resistance could be one of the biggest threats to humanity, and Nigeria is not left out as WHO describes it as one of the biggest threats to global health, food security, and development today.

“Using antibiotics such as Amoxil, Tetracyclines to treat cold, cough, boil and other common ailments was a norm for me until I stumbled on an awareness campaign in Utako, Abuja, by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) and WHO. I never understood that antibiotics needed to be prescribed by specialists after a test. I have since read more about antibiotic resistance and realised I have been hurting myself and my family by taking drugs without prescription,” says Kemi Balogun, a trader residing in Abuja.

“I now understand the importance of antibiotics and the need to preserve the use for more deadly diseases”, she said.

Antibiotics resistance

On 18–24 November, Nigeria joined the global community in commemorating World Antimicrobial Awareness Week to draw attention to the dangers of misusing antibiotics and other antimicrobials.

This year’s theme is ‘spread awareness, stop resistance’ to encourage the public and stakeholders across sectors – in human, animal and environmental health – to champion action against this major public health threat.

Antimicrobial resistance occurs when medicines no longer work as they should against communicable diseases because microbes adapt and protect themselves, leading to drug-resistant infections.

WHO noted that a growing number of infections – such as pneumonia, tuberculosis, gonorrhoea, and salmonellosis – are becoming harder to treat as the antibiotics used to treat them become less effective, leading to longer hospital stays, higher medical costs and increased mortality.

In a statement to commemorate the week, the WHO Regional Director for Africa, Dr Matshidiso Moeti, said more than half of all deaths in the WHO African Region are caused by communicable diseases treated by antimicrobials.

Urging the governments and individuals to play a role in stopping antimicrobial resistance, she said the key is to only use medicines as prescribed by a licensed health professional and be sure to take the full prescribed course.

Meanwhile, the threat of resistance puts at risk decades of progress in controlling malaria, HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and sexually transmitted infections, among others. To sustain gains against infectious diseases and strengthen health systems, WHO is supporting action to combat antimicrobial resistance.

In a similar vein, the Antimicrobial Resistance Programme Manager, NCDC, Dr Abiodun Egwuenu, said the collaboration between WHO and NCDC in controlling AMR in Nigeria has been producing results.

Dr Egwuenu said WHO supported the national AMR response activities through AMR awareness walks, engaging policymakers, children (spelling bee, debate), Information Education and Communication (IEC) materials production in local and English languages, and production of videos.

WHO also supported in conducting the antibiotic use point prevalence survey in 17 health facilities spread across six states and integrated AMR surveillance, providing data required to raise awareness on this threat and how to prevent it. Nigeria, through NCDC, has been submitting AMR data to the WHO Global AMR Surveillance System since 2017, and resistance detected in priority pathogens retrieved from bloodstream infections.

In line with this year’s theme WHO collaborated with D. Stella Adaddevoh (DRASA), in piloting a behavioural change project for AMR among students from 10 secondary schools in Lagos State. The project produced 320 change ambassadors and revealed that the children too can create awareness for AMR and health hygiene among their peers and family members. Meanwhile, WHO is currently scaling up the project to 20 schools (10) in Lagos State and (10) in Osun state.

Although Nigeria does not have comprehensive data on antimicrobial resistance, a situation analysis conducted by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) in 2016 revealed that multidrug-resistant organisms were discovered from common healthcare-associated infections.

The National Action Plan for Antimicrobial Resistance, 2017-2022, found that bad use of antibiotics was common with 42% of adults and 46.7%–71.1% of five years’ children were given antibiotics without prescription, and 68.3% of adults used antibiotics following the prescription.

Healthy diet and lifestyle modification essential to preventing diabetes

Abuja, 24 November, 2021 – “For diabetes, prevention is the cheaper option. With healthy diet and lifestyle, we can avoid the killer disease” says Dr Felicia Anumah, a Professor of Medicine and Endocrinology, a Diabetologist and the current Dean Faculty of Clinical Sciences University of Abuja, Gwagwalada.

“There’s unfortunately, a high out of pocket expenditure in Nigeria and with Diabetes care being a chronic disease, a lot of people are not able to afford to pay for care and medicines. Creating awareness on insurance and improving coverage especially capturing the informal sector is one of the way forward” she added.

Diabetes like other Noncommunicable Diseases (NCDs) share common risk factors including tobacco use, harmful use of alcohol, physical inactivity and unhealthy diet. Ageing, rapid urbanization and globalization are also underlying risk factors. “Family history is also a factor, if one parent has diabetes one has 40 percent chance of developing it and if both parents do, one has a 60 percent chance”

“People change their diet from the naturally healthy diet to unhealthy “civilized” diet. We eat refined food with high content of salt, oil as well as sugar which increase our blood glucose and people feel like it is a sign of affluence. We are meant to burn all calories we take in and without doing that, excess fat accumulates. “When sugar is high, it disturbs everywhere blood goes, eye, brain, heart, kidneys, nerves and blood vessels. Complications are devastating, mutilating and expensive” narrated Dr Anumah.

Every year on November 14, the World Health Organization (WHO) commemorates World Diabetes Day which provides an opportunity to raise awareness of diabetes as a global public health issue and what needs to be done, collectively and individually, for better prevention, diagnosis and management of the condition. This year’s theme is “Access to Diabetic Care”.

Speaking about access to diabetic care in Nigeria, Dr Anumah mentioned that while diabetes remains a complex disease requiring specialists to handle, the country has shortage of diabetes specialists. Most patients delay to access care and may go to Primary Health Care Centers (PHC) before seeing a specialist. They present late when the condition has already deteriorated leading to blindness, amputation and/or organ failure. A healthy diet, regular physical activity, maintaining a normal body weight and avoiding tobacco use are ways to prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes.

According to WHO, Insulin is the primary treatment for diabetes – it turns a deadly disease into a manageable one for nine million people with type one diabetes. For more than 60 million people living with type two diabetes, insulin is essential in reducing the risk of kidney failure, blindness and limb amputation.

However, one of every two people needing insulin for type two diabetes does not get it. Diabetes is on the rise in low- and middle-income countries, and yet their consumption of insulin has not kept up with the growing disease burden.

About 422 million people worldwide have diabetes, the majority living in low-and middle-income countries, and 1.5 million deaths are directly attributed to diabetes each year. Both the number of cases and the prevalence of diabetes have been steadily increasing over the past few decades. The 2018 WHO

Noncommunicable Diseases profile for Nigeria showed that 1% of Nigerians have diabetes.
WHO Nigeria is supporting the Federal Ministry of Health to implement the 2019-2025 National Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) Multisectoral Action Plan which outlines key priorities for the prevention and control of NCDs, including diabetes. Together with the Federal Ministry of Health and the FCT Human and Health Services Secretariat, WHO is supporting the WHO Package of Essential NCDs Interventions which is aimed at strengthening NCDs interventions at the Primary Health Care level in selected facilities in the FCT.

Canada ‘Extremely Disappointed’ That US to Raise Softwood Lumber Duty

The United States has decided to almost double the duties on Canadian softwood lumber from most producers to 17.9%, Canadian Trade Minister Mary Ng said on Wednesday, adding that Canada is “extremely disappointed.”

The current rate for most companies is about 9%.

Ng said that the U.S. Department of Commerce on Wednesday issued the final results of the second administrative reviews of its anti-dumping and countervailing duty orders regarding certain softwood lumber products from Canada.

“Canada is extremely disappointed that the United States has decided to increase the unfair duties it is imposing on Canadian softwood lumber from most producers to 17.9%,” Ng said in a statement. “Canada calls on the United States to cease imposing these unwarranted duties on Canadian softwood lumber products.”

The U.S. Commerce Department and the U.S. Trade Representative’s office did not respond to a request for comment on Wednesday night. Earlier this year, Washington announced plans to double the duties on imports of Canadian lumber and requested a dispute panel on Canada’s dairy import quotas.

Canada’s softwood lumber industry is a key component of the country’s forestry sector, which contributed more than $25 billion to the nation’s gross domestic product in 2020 and employed nearly 185,000 workers. The British Columbia Lumber Trade Council also expressed disappointment.

Ng said that “following completion of any legal challenges under the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement’s (CUSMA) Chapter 10 or in U.S. courts, these new anti-dumping and countervailing duty rates will apply retroactively to softwood lumber exports to the United States from companies that were subject to the second administrative reviews.”

“These unjustified duties harm Canadian communities, businesses, and workers,” she said, adding: “They are also a tax on U.S. consumers.”

NASA Launches Craft to Hit Asteroid

The U.S. space agency NASA has launched a spacecraft on a mission to test the ability to knock an asteroid off a potentially harmful collision course with Earth.

The Double Asteroid Redirection Test, or DART, will take 10 months to reach the asteroid Dimorphos before slamming into it at 24,000 kilometers per hour.

Dimorphos does not pose any danger to Earth, but gives scientists a way to examine the concept of moving a potentially harmful object far enough and early enough off its course so that it flies past Earth.

The DART spacecraft is about the size of a small car and carries a briefcase-sized craft that will be deployed shortly before the impact to record video of the event.

NASA says the mission costs about $330 million.

Ghana Government and Huawei jointly Address Digital Gap & SDGs in Ghana

ACCRA, Ghana, Nov. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Ghana build the biggest RuralStar connectivity network to bridge digital GAP and achieve UN SDGs. The government of Ghana has decided to deploy 1000 base stations in the second phase, after successful first-phase deployment of 2,000 base stations. It will increase the network population coverage from 95% to 99% in the future.

Ghana Ministry of Communications and Digitalization (MOCD) and Ghana Investment Fund for Electronic Communications (GIFEC), in partnership with Huawei have officially launched the Rural Telephony Project at the first phase.

Speaking at the event, H.E. Nana Addo Dankwah Akuffo-Addo, President of Ghana, mentioned that Government is committed to ensuring that every Ghanaianm, irrespective of tribe, religion, class, location, or identity has access to affordable and reliable voice and data connectivity.

To date, MOCD/GIFEC, through the Project, has provided voice and data services to over 3.4 million people in underserved and unserved communities in Ghana. National mobile coverage can increase from 83% to 95%.

By the base station deployment, the ubiquitous mobile network have promoted improvements in education, economy, healthcare and environmental protection

Education: The solution has provided connectivity to approximately 2,000 schools, allowing efficient distribution of curriculum content to schools and bridging the gap between urban and rural education. It enables Internet-based training to improve students’ computer skills and improves employment opportunities.

Economy: 1.5 million people living in Ghana’s rural areas use mobile money services, giving them access to financial services, and improving business and income growth opportunities. Communications across various media enable residents to reach the market with their produce more effectively.

Huawei RuralStar Base Station in Deployment

Healthcare: More than 200 rural clinics are now connected, so medical information is promptly disseminated to remote villages, helping improve the skills of rural doctors. During emergencies, rural doctors can now quickly communicate with urban hospitals to obtain emergency assistance. This helps save lives, for example, by providing emergency assistance to mothers and babies.

In the Banka community, for example, the mobile network connects 30 school computers to the national curriculum plan. It enables learners to learn computer technology and improve their employment opportunities. It connects community health centers to the residents, thus improving healthcare services, including securing of critical blood supply when needed.

Environmental protection: The project’s smart, green solar power supply solution enables the sites to stand independent of local power grids, eliminating the need for diesel generators and long-distance power distribution. This solution not only provides more stable power supplies, but also eliminates fuel costs and CO₂ emissions.

Commenting on the project, Minister for Communications of Ghana, Hon. Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, said: “ICT development plays a vital role in revitalizing the national economy, especially in promoting rural economic development. Accelerating the improvement of rural communications facilities is one of our important agenda. We selected Huawei as partner in this rural network project as we have seen Huawei’s unremitting efforts in bridging in the digital divide. We hope that the project can be completed as soon as possible so that people in more remote areas can enjoy the benefits of mobile broadband.”

Huawei is committed to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Ghana Government and Huawei jointly drive ubiquitous connectivity and promote equal access to networks, leaving no one behind in the digital world and meeting the goals of SDG1 (NO POVERTY), SDG3 (GOOD HEALTH AND WELLBEING), SDG4 (QUALITY EDUCATION), and SDG10 (REDUCED INEQUALITIES), SDG 13 (Climate Action).

ApplyBoard Releases First Annual Trends Report on Top Trends and Future Opportunity in the International Education Industry

ApplyBoard’s data-driven trends report shows how international student preferences and trends in the international education space are shifting

KITCHENER, ONTARIO, CANADA, Nov. 23, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ApplyBoard, the EdTech platform revolutionizing the international student journey, launched their first annual trends report on the future of international education.

To help shape recruitment plans and improve global access to education around the world, ApplyBoard gathered data to uncover the latest trends in sector recovery, key factors motivating student decision-making, emerging markets for student recruitment, and predictions for the next decade. The report is designed to inform and guide international students, recruitment partners and higher education institutions.

“As we head into 2022, we’re seeing lots of excitement and pent-up demand from international students eager to study abroad. The pandemic has led to shifting interests among international students who are paying closer attention to lower tuition prices, access to post-graduation work opportunities, and in-person learning opportunities,” says Meti Basiri, Chief Marketing Officer and Co-Founder of ApplyBoard. “Despite the challenges the industry faced during the pandemic, the data shows that international students are more interested in studying abroad now than ever before, and our team is doing everything we can to help them achieve their dreams.”

ApplyBoard has assisted more than 250,000 students with their educational journeys and was co-founded by three brothers who were all international students themselves: Martin, Meti, and Massi Basiri. During the pandemic, ApplyBoard helped transform the international education recruitment and application processes through its intuitive digital platform. Today, the platform is home to over 1,500 schools and is used by over 10,000 recruitment partners, which makes it simple for international students to discover and apply to the country, school, and program best suited to their needs.

“ApplyBoard is building an education revolution, and this report puts everything that has happened during the pandemic into perspective so that we can build in 2022 and the years to come,” says Jo Johnson, Chair of the ApplyBoard Advisory Board. “Grounded in in-depth research, the report identifies key trends unfolding in the higher education industry whilst demonstrating ApplyBoard’s deep industry expertise and knowledge.”

Read the full report online. Notable findings from the report include:

Application Data Shows Pent-Up Demand From International Students

According to data from the ApplyBoard Platform, student application volumes are booming across the world. From March to October 2021, UK student applications on the ApplyBoard Platform rose by more than 300%, Canadian applications grew by over 200%, and US applications spiked by 750% compared to the same period in 2020.

New Factors Influencing the Student Decision-Making Process

As we move past the pandemic, international students are increasingly looking for lower tuition prices and access to post-graduation work opportunities. They are also considering alternative destination markets. Prior to the pandemic, most students browsing programs on the ApplyBoard Platform searched for programs with tuition fees up to C$100,000 per year. During the first 10 months of 2021, more than half of all students chose to view only programs with annual tuition fees of C$30,000 or less.

Prioritizing Student Diversity

Major players India and China will remain large source markets for the future of recruitment. But economic and demographic shifts point to a number of smaller markets primed to capture growing shares of the international student market. ApplyBoard modelling and industry data has identified Nigeria, Kenya, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Egypt, and Indonesia as high-growth potential markets.
