LiveWell Initiative UN Factsheet
• Only half of women in developing regions receive
the recommended amount of health care they
need
• The maternal mortality ratio in developing regions
is still 14 times higher than in the developed
regions
• Children born into poverty are almost twice as
likely to die before the age of five as those from
wealthier families.
• Children of educated mothers are more likely to
survive than children of mothers with no
education.

Ethical Issues and
Compliance Monitoring
• Most Medicines distributed in the Communities are
OTCs
• Where a prescription medicine is needed, an LWI
Medical Doctor generates the prescription there and
then
• Where compliance monitoring or further care is
required, the LWI ‘easyhealth’ team follows up
monthly with the patient, to the patient’s home
• Through its ‘easyhealth’ Home Healthcare plan, LWI
takes care of ‘ healthcare access gaps’
www.livewellng.org9/27/2015
LWI
LiveWell Initiative ‘easyhealth’
• This is a home healthcare plan which is affordable at a
cost of $15 per client per month
• Through this innovation, compliance monitoring is
conducted by LWI Experts through telephony, e-
medicine, mhealth and monthly home visits
• Clients whose needs cannot be met by ‘easyhealth’
are designed to be absorbed eventually by LWI
SUPPORT when it commences its expanded
operations
• However for now, they are referred to government
clinics for further management

LWI
LiveWell Initiative
Replicability
• All LWI Community Outreach programmes are
replicable due to Processing, Quality Assurance and
Logistics Planning across the organisation
• The organisation runs multiple programmes
concurrently and simultaneously, along process lines
which ensure uniformity
• Among examples are, Ogun State Community Health
Outreach at Ipokia, Imeko, Ilaro
www.livewellng.org9/27/2015
LWI
LiveWell Initiative Scalability
• LWI Programmes are scalable, as large teams can
attend to thousands of people in a Community Health
outreach while a small team can attend to a group of a
few women and children
• LWI has the human resource capital with over 240
Volunteer Officers from which the teams are selected
• Scalability will be enhanced when working with
Partners and Donors who have the financial
economies of scale to enlarge the scope of
programmes to the national levelwww.livewellng.org9/27/2015
LWI
LiveWell Initiative Sustainability
• LWI Programmes are sustainable and they have
stood the test of time
• Through LWI, over 800,000 Nigerian Women and
Children have received FREE Medicines in the past 7
years , with a sustainable machinery which works
• The sustainability is further enhanced by LWI
collaborations with government and the private sector
• The organisation has put in place 3 Programs in its
MNCH Sustainability Drive, and to ensure a continuum
of its programmes
• Collaborators and Partners are being sought, to make
these programmes replicable & more scalable

Impact of LWI Medicines Access
Programme for Women and Children
• Smiling and Happy Mothers; Happy and
Healthy Babies; 6-month ‘wellbeing’ window
• Out of Pocket Savings; improved
microeconomy for the family and for the
nation
• Improved overall productivity
www.livewellng.org9/27/2015
LWI
LiveWell Initiative6-Month ‘Wellbeing Window’
• LWI has discovered a consistent 6-month ‘wellbeing window’
period before its clients need the next set of medicines
• Irrespective of rural or urban location, LWI has discovered a
constant Six(6) month ‘wellbeing window’ SMWW period
after each community health outreach / LWI Intervention before
beneficiaries will need medicines again
• This is believed to be due to the impact of the LWI Expert ‘OTC
Medicines Counselling’ by Pharmacists, and the Health Team
Empowerment which precede giving the medicines, also in line
with LWI ‘Process Algorithms’
www.livewellng.org9/27/2015
LWI
LiveWell Initiative
CONCLUSION
• Making medicines more accessible to women and children
through innovative ways will enhance their health status and
will controbute significantly to the attainment of MDGs 4 and 5
in the last 500 days prior to the end of the MDG Programme
• Although all women and all children need medicines, the
women at the base of the pyramid can best access medicines
through innovation
• When they do access such medicines, women need to be
empowered to maximise the benefit of the accessed medicines

Pharmacist - Advocacy on Silverbird TV Nigeria
BISI BRIGHT - CEO, LWI Improving Access – May 18th 2014
LWI
LiveWell Initiative
CONCLUSION (contd)
• Since women by nature will need to have access to medicines
for themselves and for their children; access to medicines for
women all around the world and especially for women at the
base of the pyramid should be made a priority agenda in
fulfilling the MDGs in the 500-Day UN Advocacy Trail.
• Responsible and Rational use of Medicines should be the
guiding principle of every pharmacist while ensuring innovative
access to medicines, for women and children; that way safe
use of the medicines is guaranteed especially at the base of the
pyramid.
www.livewellng.org9/27/2015
LWI
LiveWell Initiative
CONCLUSION (contd)
• Every woman at the base of the pyramid BOP and
everychild at the base of the pyramid should be entitled to
an enhanced access to medicines accompanied with
enhanced access to counselling on the use of the medicines
• Every woman and every child who is taking a medicine
should have access to a healthcare personnel in the
communication chain.
• In enhancing ‘medicines access’ for women and children;
the safe use of medicines should always be ensured
through adherence, compliance monitoring and evaluation
www.livewellng.org9/27/2015
LWI
LiveWell Initiative
CONCLUSION
• With a Six-month ‘Wellbeing Window’ SMWW, community
health initiatives powered or partnered by PPPPs (People
Public Private Partnerships) can serve as an interface in
bridging healthcare gaps which will assist governments the
world over, in attaining the desired MDG Goals 4 and 5 and
beyond.
• The SMWW should be used to compute biannual health and
wellness outreaches and, biannual drug distribution channels
for women and children at the base of the pyramid, for
attainment of MDGs 4 and 5.
