The Guild of Medical Directors Wives of Nigeria (GMD-WON) has offered free hepatitis screening to displaced persons at the New Kuchingoro IDP camp in Abuja.
The group which is the women wing of the Guild of Medical Directors also donated food items and clothing to the displaced persons.
President of the group, Mrs Queen Philips, said it has been the tradition of the six year old women wing since 2013 to reach out to the less privileged in any state, where the Guild of Medical Directors was holding its Annual General Meeting (AGM) and scientific conference. She added that screening for hepatitis was chosen because the disease was the theme of this year’s Guild of Medical Directors’ AGM and scientific conference, and to also provide healthcare for the IDPs who have poor access to healthcare services.
While calling for support to sponsor some displaced children in school, she said those diagnosed positive during the screening would be referred to their husband’s hospitals for free treatment.
National President of the Guild of Medical Directors, Dr Tony Philips called on Nigerians to go for regular screenings, for early detection and to protect themselves from the disease.
