Lagos!

🚀 A New Chapter Begins: Welcoming Our PCCI Lagos Cohort!

Yesterday, Dr. Aisha Liman, Favour Anyanwu, and I officially onboarded our newest Primary Compassionate Care Initiative (PCCI) cohort in Lagos and the energy was electric!

From our very first gathering, it was clear that this group is ready to step into the challenge of shaping healthier communities with compassion, creativity, and courage.

🌍 What PCCI Is All About
At PCCI, our mission is simple but powerful: to mentor, empower, and inspire the next generation of public health leaders. Through experiential learning, fieldwork, and advocacy, our cohorts tackle pressing health challenges head-on while grounded in values of integrity, teamwork, and excellence.

What Awaits the Lagos Cohort? Over the next 6 months, our learners will:
+ Dive into foundations of public health, humanitarian principles, and human-centered design.
+ Gain hands-on experience in community health needs assessments and intervention projects.
+ Commemorate key international health days (from World Mental Health Day to World AIDS Day).
+ Build career-ready skills, from proposal writing to CV and cover letter development

Why This Matters:
Every cohort strengthens our growing network of compassionate health leaders across Nigeria and beyond. From Jos to Maiduguri, Calabar to Lagos, each step expands the circle of impact. This Lagos group is part of that continuum and we couldn’t be more excited about the journey ahead.

Our Commitment: To our new cohort: your energy fuels this initiative. Your ideas, passion, and commitment will shape interventions that outlive the program itself. Together, we’ll learn and we’ll act to protect the health and well-being of future generations.

Welcome aboard, PCCI Lagos 2025-2026! The future of public health leadership is in great hands!
