Break it Down

Good healthcare is not only the absence of illness but the complete social, mental, and physical well-being of humans. Governments work to improve healthcare with tools often referred to as policies. But citizens barely engage with these or other important conversations that impact their lives. The Break it Down Podcast is here to close that gap by simplifying and breaking down these concepts and policies so you can engage meaningfully. You should listen if you are someone curious about understanding how things work and contributing to conversations that impact our lives.You can reach us via podcasts@nigeriahealthwatch.com

As #NigeriaDecides2023, Will You Vote for Health?

February 21, 2023

What is the connection between elections, politics, and the quality of healthcare we receive? A lot.

In this episode, the co-hosts are joined by Nigeria Health Watch team members Thelma Chioma Thomas-Abeku, the Communications Coordinator, and Aloysius Ugwu, Policy and Advocacy Manager.

They make the connection between politics, elections and health, share how the #Vote4HealthNaija campaign encourages Nigerians to prioritise healthcare when they are deciding who to vote for, and importantly, share how Nigerians can leverage the electoral act to ensure their votes count.

They also shout out to some organisations working to increase electoral participation and empower Nigerians with tools to hold their representatives accountable. Listen to find out who they are!
