From The Desk of the Executive Director Patela Care Foundation
The life of a lecturer; publish or perish is definitely not my favourite slogan/catchphrase. However, demystifying misconceptions, misinformation and empowering people with truth, knowledge and life lessons; please count me in all day. It’s definitely one of mine passions, pursuits and focus.
So engaging with the brilliant minds of University College Hospital (UCH) Staff Secondary School managed by Child’splay mini schools was fulfilling.
We had educative, interactive sections on debunking cancer myths, misconceptions , misinformation, the importance of screening, vaccinations for some cancers, early detection, signs and symptoms to look out for, prompt treatment and patient navigation.
The students and staffs definitely were more enlightened and better equipped to make informed decisions.
Thank you management of UCH staff secondary school Ibadan for having us.
Watch out, we’ll be in your secondary school soon.
