We are pleased to announce our new project, the Self-Care Accelerator Project (S-CAP), to accelerate achievement of universal wellness coverage by advertising the use and scale-up of self-care interventions in Nigeria.

In Nigeria, there is restricted access to wellness solutions by way of the standard wellness program due to quite a few barriers. These barriers have developed an growing demand for revolutionary methods that will advance principal healthcare and contribute to universal wellness coverage. Self-care interventions help wellness systems by supplying promising approaches to enhance coverage and access, minimize wellness disparities, enhance top quality of solutions, increase wellness, human rights, and social outcomes, and minimize price and present far more effective use of healthcare sources.

Nigeria is the 1st nation in Africa to create the National Self Care Guideline for Sexual, Reproductive and Maternal Well being, drawing on the WHO recommendations on Self-care interventions for wellness and properly-getting. S-CAP will help the FMOH to accelerate this national self-care agenda in Nigeria, to place in spot systems for complete scale up of self-care. In performing so, it will also serve as an exemplar with lessons to inform worldwide programming in self-care

Self-care holds the guarantee of shifting the paradigm from overly dependence on wellness systems, minimizing the bludgeoning healthcare price and burden on providers, by empowering men and women to carry out straightforward wellness options.” Adewole Adefalu, JSI Technical Advisor.
