FG Inaugurates Group for Ear Care Delivery
The Hon. Minister of Health, Professor Isaac Adewole, has inaugurated a Technical Working Group (TWG) for Ear Care and Hearing health in Nigeria.

While inaugurating the Group recently in Abuja, Prof. Adewole tasked the TWG to develop a National Strategic Plan on Ear Health Care and Community Based Hearing Healthcare programs which would improve the Ear care of Nigerians, across the country.

He also said that there was need to identify centers where the care could be accessed and develop a Public School for Ear/ Hearing screening program targeting One million students in Nigeria because in his words ‘’ The relationship between hearing and speaking cannot be overemphasized’’

Adewole stressed the need for the Group to come up with actionable plan and pathways towards reducing preventable hearing losses, improving access to hearing health professionals, and provision of rehabilitative services to the hearing impaired.
