World Malaria Day: EOON Care Strengthening Nigeria’s Fight Against Malaria
π️ 25th April | #WorldMalariaDay
Malaria is not just a disease—it’s a public health emergency that continues to affect millions of lives across Africa, especially in Nigeria, which bears the heaviest burden globally. Every 25th of April, World Malaria Day reminds us that although malaria is preventable and treatable, it still claims hundreds of thousands of lives each year.
At EOON Care, we stand with global and local partners to push for a malaria-free Nigeria, protecting our most vulnerable—children, pregnant women, and the elderly.
π¦ The Malaria Burden in Nigeria
Nigeria alone accounts for:
-
27% of the world’s malaria cases
-
32% of global malaria deaths
(World Health Organization, 2023)
The disease impacts every sector—from health and education to economic productivity. Frequent bouts of malaria reduce school attendance, affect businesses, and increase family healthcare costs. Children under 5 and pregnant women face the highest risk, but older adults are often overlooked in malaria conversations.
π EOON Care’s Commitment to Malaria Prevention
At EOON Care, we’re not just treating malaria—we’re preventing it. Our services are rooted in community education, strategic partnerships, and specialised support for the vulnerable, especially older adults.
Here’s how we’re making a difference:
✅ Health Education & Community Awareness
We work directly with families and local leaders to educate communities about:
-
Proper use of insecticide-treated mosquito nets (ITNs)
-
Environmental sanitation and mosquito control
-
Early recognition of malaria symptoms and prompt treatment
✅ Collaborations That Drive Impact
EOON Care partners with:
-
Government health agencies
-
NGOs and international organisations Together, we’re improving diagnostic services and supporting research into more effective malaria treatments.
✅ Protecting Pregnant Women & Children
We deliver targeted interventions—including antenatal care support, mosquito net distribution, and rapid testing—to ensure that women and children receive the protection they need.
✅ Supporting Elderly Health
Older adults often suffer in silence with misdiagnosed or recurrent malaria. EOON Care provides special care plans and home-based support to protect our seniors.
π Looking Ahead: A Malaria-Free Nigeria
Eliminating malaria in Nigeria will require:
-
Stronger health systems
-
More funding for research
-
Wider public awareness
-
Persistent community involvement
EOON Care is proud to be part of this mission. By combining innovation, compassion, and accessibility, we aim to close the healthcare gap—one household at a time.
