eHealth Africa, a leader in data-driven digital health innovations and mobile/web-based solutions that enhance healthcare access for underserved communities, has partnered with BellaNaija, a leading lifestyle and media platform, to improve the health and well-being of women and adolescent girls across Africa.
This strategic collaboration underscores a shared commitment to spotlight and address the unique health challenges faced by teenage girls, particularly those in underserved, rural, and economically disadvantaged communities.
Over the past month, this advocacy campaign, through a series of features, engagements, and live events, has raised awareness, bridged knowledge gaps, and championed innovative solutions to improve access to healthcare for adolescent girls. The campaign culminated in a High Tea event hosted by BellaNaija Style, spotlighting the need to address the cultural, accessibility, and economic factors impacting adolescent girls’ health.
Speaking at the event yesterday, eHealth Africa’s director of Partnerships and Programmes, Ota Akhigbe, decried the harsh realities many Adolescent girls face, “Families, especially in low-income and hard-to-reach areas, often struggle just to put food on the table. When resources are stretched, healthcare for their young women and girls becomes a secondary concern.”
To address challenges like this, eHealth Africa emphasised the need for multi-sectoral collaboration, urging stakeholders from government to private enterprises to support initiatives through innovative funding and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). “Sustainable change requires intentional investment.
Our work with BellaNaija illustrates how media partnerships can amplify community voices while attracting diverse funding streams needed to scale impact,” Akhigbe said.
