The Ulerawa programme is a ‘case bundled system’ , designed by the Ekiti State Health Insurance Scheme (EKHIS) under the Ekiti State Ministry of Health and Human Services, to provide universal health coverage to residents of Ekiti State, with a particular focus on ensuring that the most vulnerable members of the population have access to quality health care services.

Recent cases of Diphtheria in some states in Nigeria, associated with few deaths, has made this #BioTalk very necessary at the beginning of the year 2024. Accompanied by a #ResearchApp article on the infectious disease (https://microbiotics.com.ng/an-overview-of-diphtheria/), we looked into the cause, epidemiology, differential diagnosis, treatment and prevention of this vaccine-preventable disease. Kindly listen and read. And stay safe. Cheers.
An Overview of Diphtheria
Hand hygiene is the single most critical practice in reducing the spread of illness in the healthcare setting, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).  Hand hygiene also includes washing your hands with soap and water, using antiseptic hand washes, applying foams or gels, or using surgical hand antisepsis. Hand washing should be done before eating, after using the restroom, and anytime hands are obviously dirty or contaminated with blood or other bodily fluids. In this last BioTalk for the year 2023, it is crucial to critically but briefly take a cursory look at hand hygiene, especially during this festive period. Happy listening.

MNCH encompasses health problems across the life course from adolescent girls and women before and during pregnancy and delivery, to newborns and children. A continued focus on RMNCH is needed to address the remaining considerable burden of disease in LMICs from unwanted pregnancies; high maternal, newborn, and child mortality and stillbirths; high rates of undernutrition; frequent communicable and noncommunicable diseases; and loss of human capacity.
Introduction to Maternal, Newborn and Child Health
Infection prevention and control (IPC) is associated with improved healthcare, better quality of life and cost-effectiveness in disease prevention. On the other hand, limited or inadequate application of IPC is associated with high disease burden and poor health outcomes. This is why IPC is now considered an emerging global priority by the World Health Organization, which outlines important priorities for the improvement of IPC practice and research on a worldwide basis. The practice of IPC is not limited to specific healthcare sectors or geographic regions; IPC spans across the community, healthcare settings, hospitals, and involves different activities, including policy drafting and application, education, epidemiological surveillance, diagnostics, practical measures in healthcare provision, and treatment. Application of IPC is a dynamic process, directly associated to research and surveillance. The success of IPC is relevant to the degree of adjustment to local culture, needs and priorities, while different settings and different diseases require different measures.

BioTalk Live! will start in January 2024 to suppliment our recorded sessions. There, experts in our focused areas of specialisation will be invited to take part in our regular BioTalks. These areas include: Food enhancements, Crop improvements, Phytopharmacology & phytomedicine, Disease management and control, Industrial Biotechnology and Environmental Bioremediation.
Introduction to BioTalk Live!
Rotavirus is the leading cause of severe gastroenteritis in children less than 5 years of age. Despite the availability of a vaccine against rotavirus, it continues to result in more than 200,000 deaths worldwide per year. In developed countries with routine vaccination programs, rotavirus infection is less prevalent than in non-developed countries. This BioTalk provides an introduction into the important virus that causes morbidity and mortality in little children. Happy listening...🙂
