Many are left to use unsafe alternatives such as tissue paper, old rags, or other improvised materials. This not only increases the risk of infections but also causes discomfort, embarrassment, and shame, making it difficult for the girls to participate fully in school activities. For most families in these communities, limited resources are prioritized for essentials like school fees and food, leaving menstrual products largely out of reach.<\/p><p data-start=\"725\" data-end=\"1218\">To address this challenge, Equitable Medicaid and Clinical Research conducted a menstrual hygiene education program at Government Secondary School (GSS) Karu, Abuja. The program combined practical lessons on menstrual care with sessions aimed at dispelling myths and boosting the confidence of schoolgirls. Participants learned how to manage their periods safely and hygienically, while also receiving guidance on addressing the social and cultural stigmas that often accompany menstruation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-98c0bc4 gallery-spacing-custom elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-gallery\"

Founded on the belief that everyone deserves equitable access to quality medical services, we strive to bridge the gap in healthcare disparities. Our technology-driven approach helps deepen access to primary healthcare in hard-to-reach and neglected regions. Clinical research is at the heart of our mission. We conduct studies that support the development of safe and effective medicines and treatments. Through these efforts, we work to improve public health and strengthen healthcare access for communities across Africa and around the world.","email":"info@emecr.org","telephone":"+234806-2491-386","legalName":"Equitable Medicaid and Clinical Research Ltd\/Gte","foundingDate":"2024-05-06","numberOfEmployees":{"@type":"QuantitativeValue","minValue":"51","maxValue":"200"}},{"@type":"Person","@id":"https:\/\/emecr.org\/#\/schema\/person\/f75390fdebd2bd7d531e640e494163b6","name":"Grace Adebayo","description":"O Centro de Comunica\u00e7\u00e3o gere as rela\u00e7\u00f5es p\u00fablicas e a correspond\u00eancia oficial, ao mesmo tempo que publica hist\u00f3rias interessantes, artigos e boletins informativos mensais.","sameAs":["https:\/\/emecr.org","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/hq.emecr","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/hq.emecr\/","https:\/\/ng.linkedin.com\/company\/hq-emecr"],"url":"https:\/\/emecr.org\/pt\/author\/emecr\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/emecr.org\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46946","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/emecr.org\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/emecr.org\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/emecr.org\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/emecr.org\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=46946"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/emecr.org\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46946\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/emecr.org\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/46947"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/emecr.org\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=46946"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/emecr.org\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=46946"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/emecr.org\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=46946"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
