Lasting impact happens when governments and community stakeholders work together for a solution, from day one. This is one of the messages that stood out at the Skoll World Forum 2026.
At Dr. Ameyo Stella Adadevoh (DRASA) Health Trust, we continue to enable co-creation between communities and the government, to sustain disease prevention.

Health Champions begin with people who notice warning signs and choose to act. In Oyo State, DRASA Health Trust, through TASO and SCOPED engagements, is strengthening community surveillance, reporting, and response systems in Ona-Ara LGA. By working with state stakeholders, we are helping communities detect threats earlier, respond faster, and build confidence that their voices and reports will lead to action.

Too often, health solutions are designed far from the communities they are meant to serve.
As one participant at Skoll World Forum 2026 put it:
"We need to dismantle the tables and go build where the people already live, sleep, and survive."
Strong health systems are not built in conference rooms alone. They are built through participation, collaboration, and meaningful engagement with communities.
Connection is not a line item in a budget or a sub-clause in a grant proposal. It is the infrastructure that makes lasting health impact possible.
For us at Dr. Ameyo Stella Adadevoh (DRASA) Health Trust, this affirms what we know to be true: sustainable health security starts with people, from grassroots communities to government, working together to develop Health Champions and strengthen systems that last.

We cannot separate our health from the world around us.
This World Environment Day reminds us that every clean environment is a line of defense against diseases. Through the One Health approach, what happens to our planet, animals, and people is all connected.
When we protect our environment, we protect each other.

Outbreaks often begin in homes and neighborhoods, which is why communities must remain at the center of disease prevention.
Through the SCOPED intervention by Dr. Ameyo Stella Adadevoh (DRASA) Health Trust, in collaboration with the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention, and state partners, we are strengthening community surveillance through the Community Health Champions model. Everyday, we equip health champions to detect risks early, promote safer practices, and support prevention in communities.
Across three states, stakeholders are now co-creating stronger, community led surveillance practices that shift prevention from reaction to ownership.

In three primary healthcare centres in Ibeju Lekki, Lagos, infection prevention is becoming a daily discipline.
At the centre of this are three nurses, our Health Champions: Fatimoh, Munirat, and Barakat, serving as Infection Prevention and Control focal persons in their facilities.
Through continuous on-the-job mentoring and supervisory support from Dr. Ameyo Stella Adadevoh (DRASA) Health Trust, they are strengthening safe care practices, protecting patients, and mentoring their peers to sustain infection prevention and control in everyday service delivery.
This reflects a key goal, moving healthcare workers from knowledge to sustained practice.

Human, animal, and environmental health are deeply interconnected, especially in the fight against infectious diseases and antimicrobial resistance. The recent Skoll World Forum reinforced this important message.
Dr. Ameyo Stella Adadevoh (DRASA) Health Trust was proud to contribute to this important dialogue alongside global leaders across the One Health ecosystem.
A key takeaway from the session was that while One Health is widely understood in principle, putting it into practice remains a challenge due to siloed systems across sectors and disciplines.
At DRASA, we align with Nigeria's One Health National Action Plan 2.0, which promotes integrated, people-centered approaches to surveillance, preparedness, response, and community participation across human, animal, and environmental health systems.

Did you know that good hand hygiene can reduce the spread of infectious diseases by up to 50%?
At Dr. Ameyo Stella Adadevoh (DRASA) Health Trust, we continue to emphasize simple, practical actions that protect lives and strengthen health security from households to health facilities. Washing hands with soap and clean water at the right times remains one of the most effective ways to prevent infections before they start.
Through people centered engagement and equipping communities and health workers with the right knowledge, we are developing Health Champions who help protect families and strengthen prevention at every level of care.
No one should suffer from preventable infectious diseases. Consistent hygiene practices are a powerful step toward safer communities for everyone.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the recent Ebola outbreak a Global Health Emergency, signaling the urgent need for coordinated action to prevent further spread and protect communities worldwide.
Ebola is a severe infectious disease that spreads through direct contact with infected bodily fluids and contaminated surfaces. Early detection, accurate information, and rapid response remain critical in containing outbreaks and saving lives.
As communities, health workers, organizations, and governments respond, public awareness plays a vital role in strengthening health security.
In this carousel, we break down:
• What a global health emergency means
• How Ebola spreads
• Common symptoms to watch for
• Steps communities can take to stay safe
• Why collective action matters
We all have a role to play in preventing Ebola and other infectious disease outbreaks, because no one should suffer from preventable infectious diseases.

Hantavirus reminds us that preventing infectious diseases requires preparedness, early detection, and collective action from grassroots to government.
In moments like these, healthcare workers carry increased responsibility while facing greater exposure risks. This is why strengthening infection prevention and control remains critical to protecting both healthcare workers and communities.
At Dr. Ameyo Stella Adadevoh Health Trust, we believe no one should suffer from preventable infectious diseases. Through people-centered health education and developing Health Champions, we continue to advocate for safer healthcare environments and improved outbreak preparedness.
Prevention is not just a response strategy. It is a commitment to protecting lives before outbreaks escalate.
