"I am Dr. Aliche Kenechi A- RN, RM, RPHN, BNSc, PGDE, MSc, PhD; a wife, a mother, a nurse, a midwife, a lecturer, an educator, a researcher, and a four-time Best Graduating Student. Yes, from my primary school days, academic excellence has consistently been a part of my journey, and I remain grateful for every opportunity that has made it possible.
"I hold a PhD in Midwifery. My doctoral research focused on a comparative study of blood lead levels and pregnancy outcomes among pregnant women residing in Umuahia and Port Harcourt. The study assessed and compared blood lead levels in pregnant women from both cities and investigated whether elevated blood lead levels were associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes.
"I also compared the prevalence of selected adverse pregnancy outcomes within these populations. As part of my doctoral work, I conducted a systematic review on the effect of paternal lead exposure on pregnancy outcomes. Interestingly, paternal lead exposure can also influence pregnancy outcomes, a fact often overlooked. I am delighted that the findings from this review have already been published and are available online.
