The Association of Nigerian Health Journalists is calling on all media practitioners to utilize the free eye medical outreach it’s organizing for journalists across the Federal Capital Territory to boost healthier living.
A statement signed by the president of the Association Hassan Zaggi noted that the medical outreach is aimed at providing journalists an improved healthier condition as they are often pressured on meeting deadlines, thus endangering their sight through the use of laptops, iPhones, desktops, and other electronic gadgets.
“The Association of Nigeria Health Journalists, (ANHEJ), in partnership with a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO)- Excellent Leadership For Sustainable Development and Good Governance has concluded plans to hold a medical outreach for journalists in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
“The Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ)and Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria FRCN Chapel are also part of the collaboration.
“The medical outreach is a timely opportunity to conduct vital checks and eyes screening aimed at providing journalists, who, due to the nature of their work do not have time to go to the hospital regularly for routine checks, especially the condition of their eyes.”
The medical outreach which will hold from 10 am to 6 pm on Thursday, September 8, 2022, at Radio House, Abuja. Is said to be comprehensive as a consortium of health experts who are specialists in different fields will be on the ground to conduct eye screening and treatments for journalists in the FCT.
