The Association of Public Health Physicians of Nigeria (APHPN) and the Gift Lupus Foundation
have formally entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) aimed at strengthening
national efforts toward improved awareness, education, advocacy, and clinical care for
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) and other types of Lupus in Nigeria and across Africa.
The signing ceremony took place at the APHPN National Secretariat in Abuja and marks a significant milestone in collaborative public health efforts targeted at addressing autoimmune disorders, particularly lupus, which remains widely underdiagnosed and poorly understood in
many parts of the country.
The MoU was signed by the President of APHPN, Dr Terfa Kene, on behalf of the association,
while Mrs Lovette Ikongo, Founder of the Gift Lupus Foundation Abuja, signed on behalf of Gift lupus foundation.
It’s geared towards common good for public Health in Nigeria.
