Management of Lokoja City Clinic & Maternity will on Thursday, December 1, 2022 offer residents of the state capital and environs free HIV test and counseling in commemoration of the World AIDS Day.
The Chief Medical Director of Lokoja City Clinic & Maternity, Ayodele Ayeni, made this known in a statement on Wednesday.
Ayeni said the free medical outreach became necessary because of growing concern over new trend in the spread of HIV as observed from national statistics.
“The theme of the 2022 World AIDS Day, ‘Equalize’, is a rallying cry to get serious about addressing disparities and doing everything we can to end AIDS.
“The free medical outreach is aimed at encouraging people to know their status and seek for quick medical attention where necessary.”
The medical outreach will include free sugar test, ear and HIV screening and will hold at the clinic facility located at No 2 makira junction, beside Holy Trinity Church cantonment, Lokoja.
