The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reported that the event
took place simultaneously in the Force Headquarters, Force CID Clinic, Dei-Dei
Police Barracks and the Muhammadu Buhari Police Hospital, Area 11.
NAN also reported that the event was organised in
commemoration of the 2023 World Health Day, usually celebrated on April 7.
Mr Daniel Onoja, Founder of the DOF, said the medical
intervention would afford the personnel the opportunity to know their status
and get vaccinated.
He added that the hepatitis B virus which is deadly and
dangerous had not received the most needed awareness and sensitisation it
requires.
Onoja added that having been a product of a Police father
and living in a Barracks prompted him to give back to society which made him
what he is.
“We are doing this for humanity’s sake because we understand
that the cardinal point of every nation’s development is dependent on the
security, health and growth of its economy.
“If the people who make up the country, do not have good
health enough to carry out their duties, then there will be a challenge,” he
said.
Onoja added that the foundation had already made arrangements
for the three doses of the vaccine for those who are negative while assuring of
its continuous support to the police.
Also speaking, Dr Emmanuel Garba, 15th Force Medical
Officer, appreciated the foundation for the medical intervention.
Garba said that it would go a long way in protecting the
health of the police personnel.
Hepatitis B is a potentially life-threatening liver
infection caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV).
Hepatitis B is spread when blood, semen, or other body
fluids from a person infected with the virus enters the body of someone who is
not infected.
This can happen through sexual contact; sharing needles,
syringes, or other drug-injection equipment; or during pregnancy or delivery.
