FAMFA Oil Limited and its technical partners deployed a social health investment programme targeting Tuberculosis (TB) disease, which covers building of infrastructures such as chest clinics, conducting awareness and advocacy campaigns and assisting in protecting TB health care workers in order to contribute towards the National Tuberculosis programme goals.
Through the construction and equipping of 28 Chest Clinics across the country, we have contributed to strengthening health systems and supporting the treatment and care of tuberculosis patients in Nigeria. The chest clinics were built in close collaboration with the National Tuberculosis and Leprosy Control Programme (NTLCP) of the Ministry of Health, in existing government hospitals and handed over to the States in which they are located for management, and the facilities are fully-equipped with standard X- Ray machines, male and female wards, treatment rooms, laboratories and Gene Xpert Machines.
We remain unwavering in our commitment to improving the health and wellbeing of people in their areas of operation, especially the most vulnerable groups.
