Monalisa Chinda’s Foundation Joins NAFDAC to Fight against Uterine Fibroid for Women

In the past few years a number of Nigerian celebrities have become more open to giving back to the society through charitable works.

Using her ‘Arise Monalisa Foundation’ platform, Nollywood actress Monalisa Chinda has teamed up with the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) to put plans in motion to safeguard the health of Nigerian women.

The two parties are starting the Uterine Fibroid Project, this year, aimed at creating awareness, sensitizing the populace and sponsoring treatment of affected women across the country.

They had a press briefing recently at NAFDAC’s headquarters in Abuja and Monalisa Chinda spoke on their mission saying, ‘It is in giving our lives away that we find meaning… We appreciate NAFDAC for this strategic partnership as we look forward to propagating awareness of this fast spreading yet
widely neglected uterine fibroid, which has become very common among women due to ignorance and stigmatization.’
