World AIDS Day: Rotary Club Jabi Lakeside Calls For Collective Action to Fight Scourge

As the global community marks World AIDS Day, Rotary Club of Abuja Jabi Lakeside has called for a collective action to tackle the scourge, decrying poor access to health care among community.

The President of Rotary Club, Jabi Lakeside Abuja, Amobi Ogum gave this advice in a statement on Sunday, noting that time has come to raise awareness and curb the spread of HIV.

Citing WHO record, he said about 90 million people have been infected with HIV, and approximately 45 million people have died from AIDS-related illnesses.

"As at the end of 2023, around 40 million people were reported to be living with HIV worldwide. Sadly, Africa has been the hardest hit by this epidemic, with one in every 30 adults living with HIV, accounting for more than two-thirds of the global population living with HIV", he stated.

He reiterated the commitment of Rotary Club Jabi Lakeside Abuja to contribute meaningfully to the health of communities.

"As Rotarians, today presents an opportunity to reflect on how far we've come in addressing the HIV/AIDS crisis. But more importantly, it is a call to action. As people of service, we must recognize that in many communities, access to treatment is still limited, and basic education about the disease remains a significant challenge", he added.

He announced that Rotary Club of Abuja Jabi Lakeside will embark on a visit to HIV/AIDS patients to offer encouragement and financial support.

"Additionally, in collaboration with some NGOs and a few of our friends, we will distribute condoms to underserved areas as a small but meaningful step toward raising awareness and curbing the spread of the virus", the statement noted.

He called for more compassionate action, and commitment to creating lasting change, adding that this is what the fight against HIV/AIDS demands, "collective action driven by empathy and a shared commitment and responsibility to build a healthier world."

Good one. Since my over 1 decade on nairaland, this is the first time I am making FTC. WOW!!!
I dedicate this FTC to my organization FLOGTRIBALISTS. This organization is aimed at catching online Tribalists in real life and taking them to our correctional centres all over the country where they will be flogged mercilessly for two weeks to reboot their brain factory and restore the factory setting. Then they will come back to testify online of how they were being rehabilitated back to sanity.
Already, we are on the tails of several online Tribalists and they will be traced through their IP addresses and other sorts of things and taken to our correctional centre to correct their faulty brains.
