FUNGAL INFECTION AMONG THE CAMPUS DWELLERS




“Your health is your wealth,” Ms Tietie MUSO health director at Moi University said during a seminar held today at the student center conference hall. She had invited doctor Oganda from the school of health sciences to educate the students on fungal, yeast and bacterial infections in human sexuality.

Dr. Oganda said that burning sensation in the inner reproductive organs is as a result of fungal or yeast infections. Major transmission mode is unprotected sexual intercourse. Other forms could be unhygienic washrooms which may spread infections from a carrier who after using the facility goes without disinfecting the place.
 
Considering the state of ablutions in Moi University infections are at a high rate since the facilities used for flashing waste products are worn out. Waste substances accumulate on the sit up bowels as several users go without flashing the waste.

The most notorious hostel which such challenges is hostel J. the odor around the hostel’s surrounding portrays the state of hygiene in the place. Cleaners have a problem with this situation, at times they are forced to write notices on the doors hoping that the situation will improve.

Personal hygiene also need to be considered. Bathing with plenty water will help reduce the rate of infection. Dr. Oganda advised the students to report any cases of unhygienic conditions within campus so that the best action is taken immediately for better health sanitation.
