No fewer than 100 media practitioners in Ebonyi State have benefited from free medical outreach of the state council of Nigeria Union of Journalists, NUJ. The free medical service was organised by the council in collaboration with Medical Women Association of Nigeria in the state.
The outreach was part of the activities lined up by NUJ to mark this year's Press Week, themed, 'The Media Admits Economic Uncertainty.' The free medical outreach centred on health talks, blood and sugar screening, hepatitis, oral care and treatment, among others. Over 30 journalists who have teeth-related problems were treated by a team of dentists and counselled after the treatment.
Nwafor said: 'This medical outreach was accommodated in this year's press week of the Ebonyi State Council of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, NUJ, to ensure that our members get checks about their health because our duty is such that it keeps us away 24 hours and often, we don't have the time to go to the hospital to check ourselves, to do certain checkups.
