Kate Henshaw, Nollywood actress and women's health advocate, used the unveiling of Efamol Evening Primrose Oil in Lagos to push for better understanding of menopause and hormonal balance. The event coincided with the 2026 Continuing Education Conference of the Association of Community Pharmacists. Henshaw, who has publicly shared her own menopause journey, urged women to seek accurate information and dismiss myths surrounding hormonal changes. The campaign, backed by Efamol, targets widespread misconceptions that often leave women struggling in silence during midlife transitions.
Henshaw's pivot from screen roles to public health messaging exposes how little Nigeria invests in women's midlife care. By centering her platform on a pharmaceutical launch, she quietly shifts attention from empty political promises to the real gaps in local healthcare access. Unless the Association of Community Pharmacists follows through with education programs, this moment will fade like the many awareness drives before it.
