Diamond bank in partnership with the Endometriosis Support Group Nigeria (ESGN) and Nordica Fertility Center, organized five kilometers walk to end endometriosis, as part of its activities for its #BankOnHer campaign, Diamond Bank’s expression of Women’s History Month,
The walk became necessary in order to raise awareness for the condition, said Head, Corporate Communications, Diamond Bank, Chioma Afe.
She assured that Diamond Bank will always support women as this is the 5th year the bank is organizing this walk
With over 100, 000 Nigerian women suffering from Endometriosis every year and a general – but sorely harmful – lack of awareness for the condition, there has never been a more important time to keep motivated and #PressforProgress in the awareness and treatment of Endometriosis, the bank said in a statement.
Endometriosis is a widespread uncomfortable disease affecting tens of thousands of girls and women in Nigeria and a sweeping lack of awareness by both sufferers and health care providers delay diagnosis. This lack of awareness is often due to a normalization of symptoms and it was to this end that Diamond Bank took to the streets.
