The Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), FCT Council, is partnering with Nizamiye Hospital, a private medical facility, to organize free medical outreach in June and during the NUJ upcoming Press Week.
This initiative aims to promote public health awareness and provide free healthcare services to journalists within the Federal Capital Territory.
This is just as the medical facility commended the Federal government’s recently launched zero tariff on pharmaceuticals, saying it would improve access to medicals.
During a recent courtesy visit to Nizamiye Hospital in Abuja, the NUJ delegation, led by its Chairman, Comrade Grace Ike, discussed potential areas of collaboration, particularly in health advocacy and community service.
The hospital, represented by its Deputy Chief Operating Officer, Mohammed Abubakar, expressed readiness to support the Press Week and series of medical outreaches for journalists.
