WHAT EXACTLY DO WE NEED TO DO TO GET THE ATTENTION OF OUR ESTEEMED POLITICAL LEADERS???
✓ Our dear Chairman of the Bekwarra Council, Hon Egbung Odama Egbung
✓ Our Congressman, Hon. Omang Charles Omang Esq.
✓ Our Representative of the Federal House of Assembly, Chief Hon. Peter Akpanke
✓ Our distinguished Senator, Sen Jarigbe Agom
✓ Our dear Commissioner for Finance, Hon. Dr. Michael Odere &
✓ The Chief Press Secretary to our dear Executive Governor, Mr. Linus Obogo alongside other Directors, SAs and PAs to the Executive Governor?
We have commenced another complimentary medical service in addition to our existing interventions.
We had no option as we couldn't do it differently.
This time around, when a client presents for checks or something else, every abnormality is hugely suspected to be a sign and symptom against the traditional medical science and individual experiences.
✓ When a client has headache-Hepatitis is suspected!
✓ When a client has rashes, lost appetite for available food, or even have a mood swing-Hepatitis B is suspected!
✓ Having abdominal cramps, travelers diarrhea etc,-Hepatitis B is suspected!.
✓ Even when the government doesn't pay salaries on time-Hepatitis B is the prime suspect!😢
This is exactly how we feel as affected individuals. .."The self-blame, pity, isolation, rejection, and confusion stemming from stigmatization and discrimination", even from our own families, and health care providers, on the ground of primitive sentiment or inadequate knowledge of what hepatitis B is and what's not.
We have been told by a client that a health worker told her that eating from a stainless-steel spoon, or drinking from it's cup can transmit Hepatitis B while eating and drinking from a rubber or plastic utensil doesn't! (Such misinformation).
Sincerely, considering the established psychological burden, being an impact of living with such terminal Illness alone is enough for us.
To ease this mental burden, as part of our psychosocial support, we now offer complimentary "malaria and typhoid" fever screening (again for free) to some sufferers, just to rule-out the fact that all such symptoms are not just caused by Hepatitis B alone but other non terminal conditions as well.
This way, we hope to continue succeeding in bridging the gap between knowledge, awareness, sensitization as we continue to provide free testing to beneficiaries under the sponsorship of private citizens, of whom none are current political office holders just as your distinguished and honourable selves.
We appeal to our esteemed leaders holding the respective public offices above to;
1. Provide vaccines to be donated to the PHC departments where we will direct those willing (especially high risk families) to go for free or subsidized vaccination.
2. Provide medications to be donated to our team or the PHC departments and general hospitals to assist those who need treatments. (Among the most critical needs).
If this were about me alone, I would have allowed you dear leaders to rest.
However, it's a matter of public interest and should be given priority.
Even if not for any reason, at least for the unborn children of pregnant mothers living with Hepatitis B who deserves protection through your kind considerations dear leaders.
✓ In whose care do two positive parents leave their four kids behind?
✓ Who amongst you will and can bear the brunt of watching your four (4) kids under the medical care of Hepatologist or gastroenterologist?
I am deeply sorry if I might have lost my language tonight, but this is what Hepatitis has done to me.😢
We all deserve life, we're only victims of circumstances. Many of us were born this way.
MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE, HUMANITY FIRST!...
Before any further necessary details, I personally don't like the daily outcomes from our laboratory testings. Silence from our dear leaders to us, is considered an "involuntary passive euthanasia" and the effects are always lethal!
