The burden of malaria in sub-Saharan Africa and Nigeria is a major public health concern. The stakes are still high and the socioeconomic topography of African nations affects the bid to eliminate malaria parasite vectors.
#WorldMalariaDay2021 #Malaria
We must come up with more innovative solutions to help achieve more results.
Public health promotion campaigns must place more emphasis on prompt diagnosis and complete treatment interventions.
Patients must be encouraged to complete their medication dosage even when they feel better in order to eliminate disease causing forms of the parasites and the reproductive gametocytes.
Mosquitoes are born healthy! We can keep them healthy through improved treatment options as we seek to eliminate them from our environment.

USING NUMBERS IN ENGLISH WRITING
A thread.

Numbers are common elements of many writings. However, there are two basic formats for using them properly.

1. Spelling them out - fifty
2. Using the numerals - 50

When do you (1) and when do you (2)?

RT. LIKE. FOLLOW.
@hadizel
SPELLING YOUR NUMBERS OUT

1. When the number is below 10.
"I have TWO oranges."
"He will serve for two years before taking a seven months leave."

2. When the number is starting a sentence.
"NINETY years ago..."

Not... "60 years ago..."

"Twenty persons liked my thread."

You may not have heard anything about MEDICAL LABORATORY SCIENTISTS. I'll give you a hint.

We're an integral member of the healthcare delivery system that specializes in laboratory medicine with focus on diagnosing diseases through manual and automated testing protocols.
We are constantly exposed to different types of laboratory hazards including infectious diseases, burns, cuts and pricks, chemical mishaps, and electrocution.

We're innovative, organized, focus, emphatic, honest, committed and disciplined to obtain accurate results.
We're report writers. We're trained on this premise, "If it is not done, it should not be documented, and if it is not documented, it is not done."

We are trained to work at any time of day. We also contribute to patient recovery through voluntary donation of blood units.

WRITING HACK - WORD CONSISTENCY

Every good writing have a uniform representation of words or number format that appear more than once. Word consistency is simply the act of writing one word, abbreviation or number format the same way throughout the text.

See these examples:
"The President announced a new social intervention scheme on Monday, 5th April 2021. The scheme is expected to begin on April 20th 2021."

Did you notice the formats of the dates?
The second one had no "Monday" and the position of the day "20th" changed. That's inconsistency.
See another example,

"We're in down economy. The unemployment and UNDEREMPLOYMENT numbers in Nigeria is worrisome. It has become a twin problem. Should we solve unemployment or UNDER-EMPLOYMENT?

Did you see UNDEREMPLOYMENT? One has hyphen and the other doesn't.

Let me tell you a little APPLICATION WRITING secret.

"Try to turn your ADJECTIVES to DATA."

For example:
I improved sales SIGNIFICANTLY.
I improved sales by 60%.

Very important in application writing. CV. Resume. SoP. Cover Letter. LinkedIn Profile.

RT. Check the next tweet.
Adjectives are the most abused words in writing. Adjectives can lighten up novels and stories. However, they bring a lot of ambiguity and "suspicion" to corporate writing.

In business, everyone wants RESULTS, and not sweet words.

Write measurable PROOFS. Don't exaggerate.
If you have enough time, you can decide to use many adjectives with proofs.

We added more butter to the pizza which made is softer. We also baked it for 10 minutes to give it a brighter look. We decided to add sugar in this batch to make them sweeter.

SOFTER. BRIGHTER. SWEETER

WORD ORDER IN WRITING
How you position words in a sentence can affect the meaning or readability of the sentence. A lot of English writers miss it when using multiple adjectives.
See:
I love this Spanish small old book.
I love this small, old, Spanish book.

Any observations?
RT
The most basic WORD ORDER in English writing is the SUBJECT-VERB order. The subject is usually a NOUN or PRONOUN that is performing an action, while the VERB is the action that is being performed.
For example,
NGWOKE IFEANYI WRITES.
Ngwoke Ifeanyi is—a noun.
Write is—a verb.
However, you may need to write more complex sentences. This need will require advance WORD ORDER or sentence structures. The most popular ones include:
1.SUBJECT-VERB-DIRECT OBJECT
2.SUBJECT-VERB-INDIRECT OBJECT (DIRECT OBJECT)
3.SUBJECT-VERB-PREPOSITIONAL PHRASE
