Milestone Achievements

A major milestone was achieved in 1992 when the then governor of Enugu State, His Excellency Dr. Okwesilieze Nwodo, donated a bungalow to MWAN Enugu as a MWAN center where screening for breast and cervical cancer and non-communicable diseases are carried out to date.  This made MWAN Enugu the first zone in Nigeria to have its own center.

In the year 2024, MWAN Enugu made history with the introduction of Breast Sonography in her annual October free breast and cervical screening.  About 40 women received free breast sonograms in the MWAN Enugu Center. This was achieved by the collaboration between MWAN Enugu and Breast Imaging Society of Nigeria (BISON) Enugu under the leadership of Dr Chioma Odimegwu as MWAN President and Dr Amaka Nnamani as BISON President.

MWAN Enugu has remained visible and active at state, national and international levels of the association. She has produced three National Presidents namely Professor Winifred Kaine, Professor Nene Agugua- Obianyo and Dr Eleanor Nwadinobi.  She has produced two National Editors of the MWAN Journal, namely Professor Ifeoma Okoye, a past President of MWAN Enugu and the current Editor, Associate Professor Nneka Iloanusi.

It is a team of pride to MWAN Enugu that the current International President of MWIA Dr Eleanor Nwadinobi started as a member of MWAN Enugu. She became the President of MWAN Enugu in 1997 and subsequently became National President of MWAN. She is the first Nigerian to become the International President of MWIA in 100 years of its existence.

MWAN Enugu will always be in the vanguard for promoting health of women in the society, the younger generation of MWAN group members are showing no signs of slowing down and will keep the flag flying.
