Pregnant women receive preventive equipment against COVID-19.
Pregnant women receive preventive equipment against COVID-19.
The campaign to raise awareness and distribute face masks took the Beacon of Light Association,BeLA, to the PMI Nkwen Health Centre in the Bamenda-III Sub Division.
Safety messages were taken to the maternity and the Antenatal clinics where pregnant women and nursing mothers were educated on how to use wash hand buckets and face masks.
Teams from the association also took their campaign messages to bus stations, local markets and populated junctions in the Bamenda- I and II municipalities. They used hailers in markets and handed out flyers to those who could read. Bills were also posted on strategic locations. Hundreds of face masks and detergents were distributed during the exercise.
Speaking during the outing, the Chief Executive Officer of Beacon of Light Association, Eleen Yekpu Ndze, said they targeted women and girls because they are usually hard hit and vulnerable during such a pandemic. “It is therefore important for women and girls to be aware and ready to face the coronavirus,” Eleen Yekpu stated. The Chief Executive Officer for BeLA stressed that pregnant women face a double jeopardy as their immune systems are weakened during pregnancy.
The one week-sensitisation campaign which has been unfolding under the theme: Empowering Women and Girls against Covid-19, culminated in a one-day workshop to train journalists on reporting COVID-19, held on May 13, 2020, in Bamenda.
Participants at the training came from across the Region.
