The Medical Women Association of Nigeria (MWAN) has called for urgent improvements in healthcare infrastructure and the equitable distribution of human resources across the country to address critical health issues affecting women.
In a communiqué issued at the end of its 5th National Executive Council Meeting and Scientific conference on Sunday, MWAN highlighted the increasing burden of breast and cervical cancer among women in Nigeria, advocating for timely diagnosis, equitable access to treatment, and expanded HPV vaccination programmes.
MWAN identified maternal mortality, iron deficiency anaemia, and economic and environmental stressors as critical challenges requiring urgent attention.
MWAN also advocated for systemic changes to improve healthcare delivery, including stronger policies to support women’s health during pregnancy and postpartum.
