Our Programs
At the Thyroidism Awareness and Support Initiative (TASI), we are proud to have positively impacted the lives of individuals and families affected by thyroid disease. Here are some heartfelt stories from those we’ve helped:
Awareness Campaigns
We organize public education campaigns to increase awareness about thyroid diseases, their symptoms, diagnosis, and available treatments. Through community outreach, media engagements, and social media campaigns, we aim to reduce misinformation and encourage early detection and treatment.
Free Thyroid Health Screenings
We conduct free thyroid health screenings in underserved communities to help with early diagnosis and prevention. These screenings help identify thyroid issues in individuals who may not have access to regular healthcare.
Medical Assistance Program
Our medical assistance program provides essential medical supplies, medication, and treatment to individuals affected by thyroid diseases. We partner with hospitals, clinics, and health professionals to offer free or low-cost treatment to those in need.
Support Groups and Counseling
We provide emotional and psychological support through local and online support groups. These groups are safe spaces where individuals living with thyroid conditions can share their experiences, receive guidance, and find encouragement from others who understand their journey.
Healthcare Professional Training
We organize workshops and training sessions for healthcare professionals to enhance their knowledge and skills in diagnosing and treating thyroid diseases. By equipping health workers with up-to-date information, we improve the overall care provided to thyroid patients.
Research and Advocacy
TASI advocates for better thyroid health policies and research to improve diagnosis, treatment, and patient outcomes. We work with government agencies, policymakers, and healthcare providers to push for change and improve healthcare systems in Nigeria and Africa.
