Hello and welcome

Hello People,

Welcome to my blog.

This is my very first post and I am quite pleased to introduce myself, my blog and share my knowledge, thoughts and ideas with you.

The idea for this blog came out of a desire to bridge the health education gap in Nigeria. As a practicing Doctor, I have noticed that though there is an increasing awareness in health issues in Nigeria, a lot of people are still largely ignorant on practices, choices and issues that affect their health. Lots of people still engage in cultural practices that are harmful to health. Not on purpose of course, they are not just aware that their practices could negatively affect their health or the health of people around them. Others, though very well-informed may just have health needs, concerns or questions that need quick answers without going physically to a hospital. Other people may just need reliable, up-to-date health information to guide decision making. And that is where I come in.

I am a practicing Medical doctor in Nigeria and a certified public health professional.  I would love to improve the health of Nigerians out there by informing, educating and empowering people about their health. I would also love to encourage people to develop skills and behaviors needed for healthy living. I hope to do this in an informal, interesting way that everyone can relate to.
Let's make it fun and educational,so feel free to ask questions on topics I post and also drop suggestion on topics you want to know more about.
You can also send us an email on healthypinkinitiative@gmail.com

I do hope you will find this blog educating, informative and interesting.

Welcome and do have a blast. 

Stay fabulous, stay well, stay healthy-pink.

Dr. Anire Oduko.
