The women were screened during the free medical outreach organised by one of their illustrious sons, an industrial nurse, Nurse Ojubi Sunday, to help underprivileged people know their health status.

The team also screened 600 persons after the six persons voluntarily presented themselves, demanding to check their HIV status, and thereafter, they were counselled by reactive cases and referred for further education and antiretroviral treatment.

Speaking on the topic “Good Hygiene Practice,” after the medical outreach that took place at the weekend in the Assiga Community of Cross River, Ojubi charged the beneficiaries to see their health as a priority so that they can remain useful to themselves.

Earlier at the event, the team distributed 100 cartons of oral rehydration solution (ORS) and zinc sulphate tablets to assist the underprivileged with health challenges solve their problems.

“We have done medication on anti-malaria, anti-biotics dispensation, antihypertensives, anti-diabetes, diagnosis and treatment of all minor ailments, referral and medical consultation.
“It’s why the 2025 edition of the outreach focused on diarrhoea prevention and treatment, just to address the current outbreak of diarrhoea in the Assiga community.

“So far, we have distributed over 100 cartons of oral rehydration Solution (ORS) and Zinc Sulphate Tablets at no cost to the people.

“We have also carried out community education, where we focused so much on hygiene practices and disease prevention that we distributed 1,000 mosquito nets to protect against malaria.

“There is currently an outbreak of diarrhoea in the Assiga community, so the 2025 edition of the outreach carried out a Specialized focus on diarrhoea prevention and treatment to address the current outbreak of diarrhoea in that community.

“Honestly, I have yet to register an NGO. I am doing this based on empathy and passion. When I went to register an NGO, I was told it would cost me more than 100,000. I ended up using the money to buy 200 doses of antimalarial for children in the Community.
