More than 1,000 residents of Kobi, a suburban community in Nigeria’s capital city, Abuja, benefitted from a free medical outreach during the week.
The medical outreach, which was organised by Power Forward, a youth development initiative of ExxonMobil, NBA Africa, and an international non-governmental organisation (NGO)- PanAfricare, is in commemoration of the 2023 World Malaria Day (WMD), marked on 25 April.
Medical personnel, including doctors, nurses, laboratory scientists and pharmacists, were on hand to provide malaria testing, counselling, sensitisation, treatment, and distribution of Long-Lasting Insecticide Nets (LLIN), even as they raised awareness about the rampaging disease.
