Need To Explore ‘Every Woman Centre’

Published

on

While some
people may have heard about ‘Every woman’s centre’ and the service it offers, many are yet to come to terms with it.
For those hearing about ‘every woman centre,’ for the first time, it is a cancer treatment centre, be it breast or cervical, located at Marine-Base in Port Harcourt.
The President – elect of the Medical Women Association of Nigeria, Dr Obelebra Adebiyi used the occasion of the association’s week recently to call on every woman to explore the services of this all-important centre for check-ups and tests which she said is put at a very subsidized rate.
The call became imperative following the pains and trauma this enigma called cancer has continuously inflicted on the female folk, age not withstanding. Ordinarily, given the extent of information released from the medical world about cancer, its woes and remedies, one would expect a generation of women who are by every standard, aware, precautious and wary of its scourge.
On the contrary,  Dr Obelebra announced that many still wallow in ignorance, as they do not even know what to do when it is eventually diagnosed.
She regrets that many do not see the need for a check-up exercise, while those who go for check-up, hide it on detection, and prefer alternative therapy by way of patronizing quacks, to the detriment of their life.
She insists that breast and cervical cancers can be treated if detected early. In her words, “early detection is the key to surviving this killer disease”.
However, for the medical women association, breaking the barriers of non – challance towards regular check-ups by the target audience, is a task that must be done but their worry remains how long this could be achieved.
“We are every where creating awareness but the big problem is for those concerned to take charge”, Dr Obelebra Adebiyi said.
To make real their resolve, the medical women association during its week recently organized an activities-packed programme with the theme: “Women’s Health in Sustainable Development”.
The package featured among others free medical tests and treatment, public enlightenment on women’s health. Others included media outreach, cancer walk and medical outreach to primary schools, with a view to reaching out to the young girls and women to educate them about breast and cervical cancers.
All the same, much as no one wishes to die even at old age, no one enjoys the thought of dying young either. The effort one personally makes to actualise  dreams and wishes is the only thing that differentiates the wise from the fool.
It is no gainsaying the fact that there are diseases that are very disastrous to one’s health in this 21st century. Some of these diseases no doubt are nurtured and made worse by individuals due largely to careless attitudes and ignorance.
The efforts of the government towards women’s health in sustainable development can only be appreciated and made relevant when places like ‘every women Centre’ are regularly explored.

The Wise Woman

Published

on

The wise woman builds her home. Mothers are supposed to live exemplary lives. The roles of mothers in the building of the modern Christian home cannot be overemphasized.
The function of the mother is to help the man build the home. She is a helper. A helper to the husband when the man is not doing well. It is important for the wise woman to assist when the man is not able to meet up with the items needed in the home.
A wise woman needs to reference God first and then the husband. Also the wise woman should respect her husband.
Caring for her own children as well as others is very crucial.
Do not despise children from other mothers. Discipline the child who is going the wrong way.
Ensure family bonding, show love and don’t discriminate. Connection with children is very important, especially the females. Find out who is her friend. Also find out the kind of lives they live. Caution, counsel and guide so that they make good partners.
Teaching children the dos and donts should start from birth. Inculcate the word of God in them so that when they grow, will not depart from it.
From the Scripture, some women influenced their families positively. Virgin Mary influenced the world, she never destroyed herself hence she gave birth to Jesus Christ.
Elizabeth, despite her age, God blessed her as she waited patiently.
A wise should curb favouritism in the family and love children equally. Whether a child is your biological child or not, it is necessary to show love equally. Reprimanding the children should be the function of both man and wife.
