🧼✨ World Hand Hygiene Day 2026 | Action Saves Life ✨🧼

On Thursday, May 7, 2026, Mother and Child Specialist Hospital Owa-Alero had the distinct honour of hosting the Delta State Ministry of Health, Epidemiology Unit, for the commemoration of World Hand Hygiene Day 2026.

The event, themed "Action Saves Life," brought together healthcare professionals, patients, clients, and nursing mothers for a day of education, practical demonstrations, and renewed commitment to infection prevention and control.

We were pleased to welcome:

🏥 Dr. Mildred Okowa-Igumbor; State Epidemiologist, Delta State Ministry of Health

🏥 Dr. Enyi Idotenyi; Assistant State Epidemiologist and Focal person Infection Prevention and Control (IPC), Delta State Ministry of Health.

Programme Highlights:

✅ Welcome address by our Chief Medical Director, Dr. Martins Egbase I, who reaffirmed the hospital's dedication to patient safety and infection control standards.

✅ An educational drama illustrating the critical importance of hand hygiene in clinical settings.

✅ An interactive session anchored by Dr. Bale Emmanuel a Senior Medical Officer at Mother and Child Specialist Hospital Owa-Alero, which engaged participants in best practices in hand hygiene.

✅ A professional lecture and practical demonstration by Dr. Enyi, covering the WHO-recommended seven-step hand washing technique and proper use of alcohol-based hand rubs.

✅ Hands-on practice for all attendees, including staff, stable patients, clients, and nursing mothers.

Key Message: Hand hygiene remains the single most effective measure in preventing healthcare-associated infections. As Dr. Okowa-Igumbor reminded us, "Action saves life. Knowledge without application yields no result."

We thank the Delta State Ministry of Health, Epidemiology Unit, and all participants for making this event a resounding success.

Together, we are building a culture of safety — one handwash at a time. 💧🧴

Today, the Delta State Government joins the global community to observe the International Day of Zero Tolerance for Female Ge***al Mutilation (FGM), marked annually on February 6, under the theme “Towards 2030: No End to FGM Without Sustained Commitment and Investment.”

As a state government, we emphasize our responsibility to protect the rights and dignity of women and girls. Female Ge***al Mutilation remains a harmful practice and a violation of human rights, with serious physical and emotional consequences.

Ending FGM requires sustained commitment, investment in awareness and prevention, and collective action at all levels. Together, we must continue to speak out, engage communities, and take decisive steps to eliminate this practice and create a safer, more equitable society for all.

World Cancer Day Message

Cancer presents differently from person to person, but one truth remains constant: awareness, prevention, and early detection are crucial in reducing its impact. This World Cancer Day, we reaffirm our commitment to putting people first, promoting healthy lifestyles, encouraging regular screenings, and seeking timely medical advice. Every step taken early can save lives.

We are inspired by the progress happening in Delta State under Governor Sheriff Oborevwori. The state is actively supporting cancer care and awareness through meaningful initiatives, including a ₦10 million donation to the “A Ride for Life” cancer awareness programme and plans to establish a dedicated cancer treatment facility. These efforts, alongside broader investments in health infrastructure, diagnostic equipment, and expanded healthcare services, reinforce our shared vision: accessible, high-quality cancer care for all.

At our centre, we remain dedicated to:
- Educating communities about cancer risk factors and healthy lifestyle choices
- Providing accessible, timely screenings and diagnostic services
- Delivering compassionate, patient-centered care from diagnosis through treatment and follow-up
- Supporting families with information, guidance, and resources

On this World Cancer Day, we invite you to:
- Prioritize preventive health and regular check-ups
- Stay informed about cancer screening recommendations
- Seek medical advice promptly if you notice any concerning symptoms

Together, with proactive care and strong state support, we can improve outcomes and save more lives. Because early detection saves lives — today and every day.
