The Society of Lifestyle Medicine of Nigeria (SOLONg) has stressed the need to integrate lifestyle medicine in the management
of the COVID-19 pandemic and obesity in the country.
According to her, healthcare approaches must now be applied with specific considerations, taking note that unhealthy lifestyle choices would ultimately impact sustainable living negatively. She also said: “One of the things so important to mention is the training of health care professionals. SOLONg has trained medical personnel from South Africa, Egypt and Rwanda. We have not only impacted Nigeria but Africa as a whole.
The group’s Vice President, Dr. Charles Cudjoe, said that the conference would give out the quality concept as regards to lifestyle medicine. USAID HIV Care and treatment manager, Dr. Isa Iyortim disclosed this in Abuja during the Maintaining Epidemic Control meeting for the end of project dissemination and National Dialogue, organised by the FHI360.
The Director, Health Trauma/Emergency and Disaster Response in the Federal Ministry of Health, Prof. Sydney Ibeanusi, who represented the Director, Hospital Services, Dr. Adebimpe Adebiyi, said all donations especially the ventilators were distributed in areas of need.
