The Garki Hospital has inaugurated a subsidised sickle cell clinic to cater for the healthcare needs of the patients in Abuja and its environs.
The aim of the clinic was to provide adequate healthcare facilities at a reduced rate for people living with sickle cell disease.
According to the medical director of the hospital, Dr. Nyomudime Essen at the opening ceremony:
“The greatest majority of those who suffer from this problem are actually of African descent and that is what necessitates the provision of the clinic where specialists would attend to them.”
