Celebration of a fulfilled life: Dr Olugbenga Kuponiyi How does one measure a life well spent? That question appears very simple, but puzzling when closely examined. Is life measured by the actions taken throughout one's lifetime? Or is it measured by the number of challenges a person overcomes in life. Whatever the case may be, both religion and history agree on one fact, a life well spent is that which leaves a positive mark on the sands of time. The much loved 46 year old father, husband, brother, uncle and friend Dr Olugbenga Kuponiyi who was born into the family of  Late Pa Elijah Oluwatayo Kuponiyi and Mrs Beatrice Kuponiyi on the 28th of October 1970, impacted many people in the course of his life.

Postpartum haemorrhage: Cheap lifesaver 'cuts deaths by a third' By James Gallagher Health Check, BBC World Service   A cheap drug has been shown to stop women bleeding to death, in a discovery that should change practice around the world, say researchers. Yearly, thousands of women die from excessive bleeding in the moments after giving birth. It's really sad that is more common in developing countries like Rwanda,Nigeria,Benin and so on. But an international study, in the Lancet, suggests "tranexamic acid" could cut that by a third. Postpartum haemorrhage is the most common cause of death within 6 weeks of motherhood.

They noted that getting persons who had tested positive for the virus to the isolation centres remained one of their strategies to contain the spread of the deadly virus.  Lagos State had on Thursday said it was considering adopting home treatment option for patients with mild symptoms, noting that it would soon release the guidelines for the treatment option.
