Elephantiasis Management
Needless to emphasize the trauma people afflicted by NTDs suffer and only interventions like management of these conditions can bring succor to them, as a lot of them are abandoned, discriminated against and ostracized from the society due to the condition. Some of them become so frustrated and suicidal.
Amen Foundation has trained One Hundred and Fourteen (114) Health Workers and Case Finders who conduct active case searches from house-to-house in every community across Gombe and Osun States to identify people in this condition and provide care.
