La Roche-Posay Partners with the Nigerian Association of Dermatologists to Celebrate World Skin Health Day in Lagos
Dr. Folake Cole, Consultant Dermatologist; Beatrice Eneh, Nigerian representative for La Roche-Posay; Dr. Erere Otrofanowei, Consultant Dermatologist; Dr. Ehiaghe Anaba, HOD Dermatology Department, Lagos State University Teaching Hospital; and other distinguished dermatologists were present with the Computer Village Market leadership.
The Nigerian Association of Dermatologists, in conjunction with the Dermatology Society of Lagos, organized a walk to Computer Village on Thursday, June 1, 2023, in commemoration of World Skin Health Day 2023.
The initiative, proudly sponsored by La Roche-Posay, was timely, as it focused on the importance of skin health in a market where many unsuspecting consumers have fallen victim to unsafe skincare products. The walk, which started at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH), ended at Computer Village, with free consultations provided to the traders and La Roche-Posay sample products given to them based on their skin concerns.

The activities commenced with a courtesy visit to the Chief Medical Director of LASUTH, Professor Adetokunbo O. Fabamwo, by the participating dermatologists from LASUTH and Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH).
They were accompanied by representatives of La Roche-Posay in Nigeria, led by Beatrice Eneh. According to Professor Fabamwo, the skin is a reflection of the body, and people need to be mindful of what they apply to their skin.

According to Beatrice Eneh, the La Roche-Posay representative in Nigeria,
“We are proud to partner with Nigerian Dermatologists on this important initiative because you cannot speak about overall wellness and skincare in isolation.”
