Dear Friends and Colleagues,

The second quarter of 2021 has been an extremely busy season for Anadach - working with old and new clients in several countries and continents. Collaborating with partners including several multi-national companies during the most serious pandemic in recent history, has allowed us to observe and identify new trends during an extraordinary disruption of the healthcare space and economies in many countries. We have been fortunate, working with our partners, to be able to contribute innovative ideas and solutions as we all work together on controlling this pandemic.

In these times, we would like to hear from you if you are based in any African country and have been able to get a COVID-19 vaccine.

Given the increased focus on healthcare, and subsequent increased public and private financing, do feel free to reach out to discuss innovative options or approaches to improving access to quality healthcare through interventions across the health space including pharmaceuticals, technology, financing and delivery. We are also excited about the launch of the new AfCTA, and the potential opportunities for business in Africa. Do feel to reach out us to discuss implications for your business.

Our busy schedule has continued into this quarter, which promises to be as busy. As usual we will be co-hosting several events with different partners. We are hosting/partnering on these events as we believe it is an excellent way to network with industry peers, develop new relationships and collaborate on common goals as we move to a world where COVID is under control through out the globe. We look forward to seeing you!


Best,
The Anadach Team
UPCOMING EVENTS


THE AMOKE FOUNDATION
GLOBAL VIRTUAL LAUNCH

August 18th 3.00 - 4.00 pm (WAT)


The Amoke Foundation is a charitable non-profit organization set up in memory of Dr. Yemisi Adetunji-Badejo, who passed away due to complications from sickle cell disease (SCD). She dedicated her life to helping others, and our charity is passionate about continuing that drive by focusing on improving the livelihood of those living with the hereditary blood disorder SCD.

Background

Sickle cell disease is a public health priority and a neglected health problem in sub-Saharan Africa, which carries approximately 80% of the global disease burden. The disease takes a heavy toll on children: it is estimated that approximately 1000 children in Africa are born with sickle cell disease every day and more than half will die before they reach the age of five.

Amoke Foundation's aim is to develop a network of Pain Management Hubs (PMH) by collaborating with teaching hospitals and bio-pharmaceuticals to improve awareness of new treatment and protocols. Patients with sickle cell will be able to attend the day clinic and access the services provided at zero cost to them. The Foundation will also sponsor training and education of specialist SCD care nurses and other related healthcare workers.

The first of these hubs in Sub-Saharan Africa is located in University College Hospital, UCH, Ibadan, Oyo state. 

This Launch's agenda, participants list and speaker profile are available on

THE CRITICAL ROLE OF THE PRIVATE SECTOR IN THE ROLLOUT OF COVID-19 VACCINES ACROSS AFRICA




COVID19 VACCINE QUESTIONNAIRE

The rapid development of COVID-19, within a year of the start of the epidemic has led to, what is likely to become, the largest and fastest vaccination campaign in history. As some African countries have started their own COVID-19 vaccination programs, we would like to hear from you if you are based in any African country! Have you been able to get a COVID-19 vaccine? What has your experience been like? This input could be helpful as countries design or refine their COVID19 vaccination strategies. All input is anonymous, and individuals cannot be identified.

Take the English Survey:


The USAID/Nigeria Tuberculosis Local Organization Network (TB-LON 3) project seeks to rapidly find and treat people infected with tuberculosis.

USAID TB-LON 3 Project

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), Nigeria has the highest TB burden in Africa, ranking sixth globally. In 2018, 24% (106,533) from the estimated 429,000 TB cases, were reported from Nigeria. This counts as about 440,000 people each year.

The challenges of TB response vary from poor coverage of screening, diagnostic & treatment services – with less than 30% of health facilities available. Despite these number of cases, only 1 in 4 people with TB are diagnosed in Nigeria.Therefore, it is critical to rapidly make appropriate intervention.

TB and the Workplace
A 45% increase in absenteeism and 10% decline in productivity is expected from a business that does not prioritize the health of its employees. With the existing structures in the workplace, onsite clinics and communication systems can be fully explored to uniquely address the control of TB.
 
Anadach Group, is implementing the Private Sector component of this project, with the Institute of Human Virology Nigeria (IHVN) in Lagos, Ogun, Oyo and Osun States; with a focus on increasing participation of the organized private sector in order to expand demand, access, strengthen and improve financing of TB services in Nigeria. This is being implemented via 2 objectives:
 
1. To mobilize the organized private sector to support early TB detection, prevention and treatment
2. To build capacity for staff screening and detection by occupational
Physicians, health and safety officers and human resources officers in firms.
 

Selected Testimonies from participants in the advocacy and training sessions
 
“I never knew TB was still a serious health challenge in Nigeria until we had the advocacy session with you Anadach team. Thank you for what you do” …. JNC International
 
We’ll like to express our profound appreciation for the impactful training course we had and hope to be better advocates of health especially in terms of creating awareness for tuberculosis __ Leadway Health.
