…Solicits support for prevention of disease

ACOMIN has therefore, urged government, corporate organizations and well-meaning individuals as well as community leaders in the society to assist in prevention of HIV/AIDS by supporting the supply of test kits to healthcare facilities.
Sifo made the call in Okpanam, Oshimili North Local Government Area of the state during an advocacy visit to a community leader and Felix Okafor, the Ikejani-Enyi of Okpanam.
He reminded the community leader that the advocacy visit was a follow up to their earlier meeting where the organization solicited the support of the community to be able to equip Ogbeobi Health
