To commemorate World Sickle Cell Awareness Month, Charity CDS Group Ogbomoso North has implemented a comprehensive free health screening project for local communities.

The group made a significant impact in tackling health disparities in by offering free genotype, blood group, and hepatitis B testing test to 1,000 individuals in Ogbomoso North Local Government, Osun state, Nigeria.

The initiative aimed to promote health awareness, education, and early detection of potential health risks among community members. Over three days, 482 participants underwent testing at two locations: Soun Stadium and Ogbomoso North LCDA Town Hall, Oja’gbo.

A subsequent health summit featured expert discussions on hepatitis B, genotype, and blood group, led by renowned medical professionals.

Charity CDS Group Ogbomoso North partnered with Genesis Laboratory, medical CDS, religious leaders, and expert speakers to ensure the project’s success.

They expressed gratitude to the Local Government Inspector, Executive Chairman, and all partners for their invaluable support.

Oluwafemi Ajayi, President of NYSC Charity CDS Ogbomoso North LG, emphasized that Nigeria’s high sickle cell carrier rate (2-3%) and hepatitis B carrier rate (10-15%) motivated this program.

The goal was to help 1,000 people make informed decisions about marriage, pregnancy, and childbirth, and prevent unnecessary suffering and death from sickle cell crises.
