Ignorance is a big Roadblock when it comes to health issues in mama Africa

Ignorance is the biggest mountain we are facing when it comes to health issues here in mama Africa. If we take a look at how many innocent children are born infected with HIV/Aids today; yet today global health organizations have provided services to stop mother to child transmission. It is with great vigilance that am focusing my energy towards senstising the communities especially the rural communities about these health opportunities and am sending out acry to all of you to join this campaign to see that we have no more babies born with HIV/Aids in Africa by 2016. "Let us call it, "HIV/Aids free babies by 2016 campaign" it's really easy, all about advocacy and health information sharing especially with the youth, poor teenagers in the basket of un-planned teenage pregnancies. No mother should go through the pain of watching their innocent child come into this world already infected and no child deserves to come into this world infected in this day and Era where mother to child transmission can be stopped. Let us all as concerned community leaders take it upon ourselves to see that we send the word out there, especially to the rural communities. When we take a good look at our population, we will find that most of our people are in the rural areas and are relegated to the back yards of these modern media health campaigns. Let's do some grassroot sensetisations, door to door activities, community notice boards, local dramas with messages, mobile cinemas to mention but afew, let us just get out there and get the health knowledge to our people until its public knowledge to the very last man.
