Hello everyone, hope you are having a nice day.

I am an Intern Pharmacist in Nigeria and a couple of us, a multidisciplinary team of physicians, pharmacists, med lab scientists, nurses, and other volunteers are planning a medical outreach to an internally displaced persons' camp in Nigeria.

I'm sure most people caught up in world politics might be aware of the terrorist group Boko Haram and the havoc they have caused all over the country, most especially in the North Eastern part which has states like Yobe, Adamawa, Borno being the most affected.

This has unfortunately led to a lot of their population being forced to move from their home states to be given santuary in other safer states, one of which is the country's capital, Abuja.

During a visit to one of the camps, particularly in Durumi, Garki-Abuja, we were shocked to find the living conditions of the camp.

The camp which has 215 households and housing a total of 2830 IDPs, is really lacking in provision of medical care, sanitary wears for the ladies, food, clothing, etc.

A couple of the health interns, particularly in the National Hospital, Abuja, decided to organize an outreach in which we could offer help to the camp particularly to focus on providing Medical Checkups, offering Counselling and Pharmaceutical Care to the individuals of the camp.

As regards to female hygiene we aim to offer sanitary wears to the ladies as well as hold talks with the female populace to create more awareness on proper female hygiene.

The proposed date of the outreach is on the 5th of September 2021 and this is a video reel showing not only a brief documentary into the camp, but highlights a couple of our members counting down to the event.
