Taoheedah’s hepatitis B experience in Nigeria
Taoheedah Abdul Karim is a passionate public health advocate in Nigeria with five years of experience in community health projects, focusing on hepatitis B and HIV. Her advocacy journey began after diagnosing a pregnant woman with hepatitis B while working as a lab assistant in 2023, which led her to get tested and vaccinated. She then encouraged her colleagues and family to do the same and later founded the "Health for All Initiative for Community Health" to promote health education and interventions. Through her organization, she has led various hepatitis awareness and prevention projects, aiming to eliminate public health threats. Taoheedah emphasizes the importance of hepatitis B testing and vaccination in preventing liver cancer and is committed to raising awareness across grassroots communities in Nigeria.
